From Russia with love…

Growing up in Russia , my awareness of American popular music was very limited. I only knew what was on the radio at that time and my Internet access was limited, so, naturally, I was very influenced by current artists such as Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera. Living in the US I have acquired a much broader sense of pop culture; I’m very inspired by the Motown era artists such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross & the Supremes, The Temptations and many others. One of my biggest influences of all time is Michael Jackson. I’m a crazy huge fan of his!

What motivates her music?

The groupies? I record and perform music because that’s what I love to do! I’m a total creative addict!

Social media addict?

Using Internet to get your music out there is essential. I think that social networking sites are a neat way for fans to discover new artists. Speaking of which, I’d love to have people who are reading this interview, visit my Myspace and Youtube pages which are www.myspace.com/alinamusic and www.youtube.com/alinamusix. I read all of my messages and I try to respond to everything!
