"Whenever I feel anxious, tired or bored, music is the only way to reach the best of me."
"And with music, you allow yourself to express your emotiones, even see the true beauty that
life has given."
"Music is a gate which opens to my deepest level of imagination", Anna Paris said in an
interview a week after doing photo shoot with her. Staring at her very simplistic look, she
answered me directly while being filled with her own emotions when I simply asked what her
definition of music was, "whenever I feel anxious, tired or bored, music is the only way to reach
the best of me", said Paris. "There have been some days that I feel terrible about my different
performances, I tried to be prepared as best as possible but still, I want everything to be perfect
when I'm best prepared for it", she added. Whilst having coffee with her, she was smiling to
herself which for me seemed like she was starting to become emotional. I'm trying to wait for a
continuation on her answer, "I know that the definition of music is not about just performing
yourself out. It's about delivering your emotions through it. Making your emotion as the art of
the music itself," she surprisingly answered. She suddenly tried to avoid creating eye contact
with me and while I was trying to read between the lines, she had this bright, engaging smile
that could be seen as an evidence that she really enjoys being in the music industry. "And with
music, you allow yourself to express your emotions, even see the true beauty that life has given.
Most definitely, you will learn to love more and be compassionate" were the last lines she
mentioned before we went on. Now I can truly say, that with this interview, one thing that you'll
learn from singers is that you can't put a price on ones experience.

What advice would you give to beginners who are nervous?
"I always admired Michael Jackson since I was a little girl. I used to listen to his music in sad and
pleasant situations. It always gave me that that strong, magnificent feeling how much human
can love his career that could make such a great masterpieces. I learned from him. I learned that
it really doesn't matter how much a career brings money. The most important thing is to love
what you do unconditionally and you will succeed. That would be the best word for beginners."

"How do you handle mistakes during a performance?"
"Some people think that you need to stop when you fail. But I always continue even when I'm
tired, even when I haven't eaten for many hours, even when I'm angry at my failures. So I try to
figure the problems in my work and try hard to get what I deserve, Don't stop until you reach
the almost perfection on your performance, and everything will fall into place."
