Anzzia: Yes, that makes sense. Because that will come back around at some point from somebody.
Cha Cha: Yeah, I thought about it and you know what? I don't think it's a good idea. But, she has a dope voice, she's really talented. Who else? That's all I have for now. I might have some featured musicians. Like, some musicians that I have worked with. Saturday actually I had this show with this Hip Hop group called, The Nomad Collective. The band is really, really good. Like, all of them are really, really good. But, I really liked the guitar player for my song Bougie. He did like a guitar solo on it and I was like, "Yo, I want to re-record in an exclusive version of Bougie and I want a guitar solo on it. I like Rock, and it was really good. I've got to find a way to incorporate a guitar into this song! /laughs
Anzzia: Who would you say your music is for? Who would enjoy it the most in your opinion?
Cha Cha: Honestly, I think anybody. Because the stuff that I talk about, I think it's different things then anyone could go through. The song Daddy is about a daughter's relationship with her Father. I think a lot of girls, especially black girls, have that issue of like, an absent Father. Then having a kind of tumultuous dating life because of having an absent kind of male presence in your life. Bougie anyone could like. I think it's like an empowering song. I think there is something on there for everyone. But, especially I think black girls will like it. I'm not going to lie. I shout out to the chocolate girls all the time in it. I think people; not necessarily just people like me but when I write songs sometimes it's like I'm writing to myself. It's like therapy. I think we all go through a lot of the same issues. So, I think anyone that's going through anything can find something on there that will make them feel better. Or, maybe help them understand what they're going through.
Anzzia: Yeah. So, do you have a favorite song on the album? If you do, which one is it and why?
Cha Cha: Right now, one of my favorite songs, it was just going to be an interlude. But, I think I'm going to make it a full track. Because I really like it. It's called Blue Dream. I like it because of the contrasting feelings in it. I think I like that a lot. I think that I can be very catlike. Where I'm like, “Oh, pay me attention, pay me attention, pay me
attention!” and then I'm like, “Oh, get away from
me! Get off of me! Don't talk to me! Don't touch me!” /laughs
Anzzia: /laughs
Cha Cha: So, I like that song because it is very cat-like and I think I'm very, like that.
Anzzia: Do you have any that you would consider to be a ladies anthem or anything of that nature? If you do, what song is it?
Cha Cha: I do have a song that is about kind of loving yourself. I don't have a title for it right now. But, I'll say that one. I can say the beat, the track. That is I think a good anthem song.
Anzzia: Okay awesome! I just wanted to ask that just to see if maybe you're threw something in there like that. What are some of maybe your life experiences that you drew from in writing this album?
Cha Cha: Definitely relationships and not good romantic relationships but, family relationships. Relationships with yourself. Relationships with how you view yourself versus how people view you. There's a lot of introspection and examination of all the different kinds of relationships that we have. A lot of it comes from wanting to get over an emotion or feeling or a difficult feeling. Instead of, I mean sometimes I get depressed. We all do. Writing is a way for me to get a lot of those things out. Some of my inspiration comes from me just trying to write a way out of something I'm dealing with. It kind of, you know, I said to myself not too long ago, "You know what? Even if there are tears streaming down my eyes I'm still going to go out and dance anyway." Because I'm the type of person. Even if I got to, even if I'm feeling like absolute crap, I will get up and drag myself through the day. Just so I'm not sitting there, wallowing in it. I've had too many days of wallowing in things like disappointments and things that happened that I felt were unfair. A lot of my inspiration comes from that. Me just really trying to push myself to get over the hump. Because I know better days are out there. When you're going through something, it's almost all you can see. You've got to clear your head in some kind of way.
