We have always written and produced our material together and each of us have played a big role in the performance side of things. It must be frustrating for some vocalists who work with producers that get all the love and the credit. It's really up to the vocalist to negotiate with the producer and establish themselves as the "lead singer" on a track not just a "session musician" etc. At the end of the day I believe a great vocal has the ability to </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">transcend a track into greatness and into a piece of music that really resonates with the listener on another level.</span></span></div> <br /> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">4.<span style="line-height: normal;">     </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">In your opinion what are some of the major challenges which females in the music industry still face? </span></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">I think men often take on the role of handling the "</span><span style="line-height: 19px;">Business</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">" side of things and a women's place in the "</span><span style="line-height: 19px;">business" side of the music industry is often undermined.

I then started Flash Republic with Ryan and Craig. We've released 3 critically acclaimed dance albums that have had us touring locally and abroad for the past 10 years and have earned us a string of SAMA nominations and other such accolades. We took a 6 month sabbatical when I had to have vocal surgery but we've been back in studio writing and recording and will be </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">releasing a few new singles soon. I launched a new side project with my partner and producer Isaac Klawansky year called Death By Misadventure. We coined the style "Dark dance" and were thrilled when it was nominated for in the category Alternative album of the year at this years SAMA's. I've also been working on a solo album for a while now and the release of it is sure to be the next big defining moment in my music career.</span></span><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjetMJUDyLALYxkV9NWRF7T7LbXWRjrGwUbI_mw9b0lMH0tsy5ELlWEJFmoZ7y31YPgxE6q56qLmdz21O_EKFor-AycFSFxGd69Z_WhInE0lNgQYh6qL9PMokgPAqA9SDT0ftDu4sfIxbD_/s1600/10464324_710446869022193_1545799055415901088_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" loading="lazy" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjetMJUDyLALYxkV9NWRF7T7LbXWRjrGwUbI_mw9b0lMH0tsy5ELlWEJFmoZ7y31YPgxE6q56qLmdz21O_EKFor-AycFSFxGd69Z_WhInE0lNgQYh6qL9PMokgPAqA9SDT0ftDu4sfIxbD_/s1600-rw/10464324_710446869022193_1545799055415901088_n.jpg" title="tamara dey" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">7.<span style="line-height: normal;">     </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">What advice would you give to the “new generation” of singers? </span></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Ok here are </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">a few</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> things. </span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Know your worth and become </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">familiar with</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> the bussiness side of Music industry.

Work </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">with</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> people. Learn from them and share ideas, this will really help you grow. Never be to cool to support other artists. Like, share and and push their music if you think its great. We need to live by </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">example</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> and help take fan culture in SA to another level as this will </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">benefit</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> us all so much! </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">Nurture</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> your craft constantly and learn to play an instrument or make your way around logic or any production programme. It'll give you</span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> creative </span><span style="line-height: 19px;">independence which could mean great things for you as a song writer. And lastly, find out how to start your own publishing company and own all the rights to your publishing. Aside from someone taking a percentage to administer your works no one should be making any money for nothing off the song's you are writing. Good luck :)</span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.200000762939453px; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">8.<span style="line-height: normal;">     </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Have you had any fans that have shared<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="1479182824ff4860__GoBack"></a> stories about how your music has changed their lives? </span></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">I often have people writing to me or stopping me in the street to tell me about a special connection they've had with one of my songs.
