"Spellbinding." Northwest Music scene

Playing concerts, having a heart-to-heart conversation with my audience, sharing my emotions and thoughts – all that enables me to have an impact on people, make a difference. Being an arts ambassador and educator is my way of standing up to ignorance, intolerance and violence in this world. Teaching my audience compassion and kindness via music is my ultimate goal.

How to be successful on social media as an artist?

How to be successful on social media as an artist?

I’m sure many of us have asked ourselves that question. There are seminars, workshops, courses, all types of resources out there for you but none of them seem to work for you? Here’s something I keep telling my students and people who come to me for advice on growing their presence - find your voice.

If you’re worried about growing your presence but you don’t plan how you’ll retain your audience once you got it - you’re not thinking the right thoughts. Yes, you can lure a bunch of followers in by recreating somebody’s successful video, but what next? What else of your own do you have to offer to those that came here for you? People follow people when they’re drawn to the digital creator’s energy and way of thinking. I often see beginner creators trying so hard replicate another creator’s success by simply copying what they’re doing. That’s an inherently wrong concept for the same reason it never works (or never lasts) when you’re copying somebody else’s looks/self-expression/artistic vision - it is not yours and you can never relate to it on a molecular level. You’ll never be that other person and being a replica is only interesting for so long. While you’re busy copying people you think are successful you’re missing out on what you yourself have to offer.

My biggest break on social media happened when I stopped looking the other way and searching for answers on other artists’ accounts. My biggest break in my professional career happened thanks to the same exact revelation. I dared to look inside myself and let that shine. I have learnt that if I’m using my own voice on stage or on my social media platforms - I may be wrong and it may not work out right away, if ever, but it will be my own. Stay true to what you really want to do with your art. If you want to play covers - by all means do it as long as it’s something you absolutely enjoy and not because that’s what you think social media wants. If you want to play Bach and share that - then stick to it and your audience will come. Above everything you ever do out there - you have to stay Y.O.U.R.S.E.L.F. That’s what social media wants.

This week marks a pretty grim milestone - 1 year s

This week marks a pretty grim milestone - 1 year since I performed on stage.
Woah. I never thought this would happen and never could I imagine I would have to redefine everything about my art, what I do, how I see myself and how I move forward.
Have I really learnt something or have I just been waiting on bouncing back?

I like to think that it has been a learning experience. The first few months it felt like everything had collapsed - cancellations after cancellations, numbness, doubts, and fear. It felt like my very identity was taken away from me.

As the time went by I did realize that music is so much more than sold-out venues and performance rush. It is certainly one particularly exciting part of it but it does not end there. Finding inspiration in the little things while on lockdown, hitting small milestones, picking up an instrument day after day not knowing exactly what for - all that makes a musician. They say we would never take a live performance for granted once this is all over. The fact is I never did. What I have discovered though is I never stopped being who I was - on or off-stage. When I step into the spotlight again it will certainly feel amazing but it wouldn’t be a “finally feeling like myself” moment because performing on stage does not define me, you or any of us.

I cannot wait to get back to touring, rehearsing, carrying 5 different gowns in my luggage and trying on different makeup - but until then I’ll continue wearing my mask & making an impact using the resources that I’ve got. And that’s a lot more than nothing.

How do you think this year on lockdown has changed you?

"Dear young colleagues of the up-and-coming genera

"Dear young colleagues of the up-and-coming generation, please have the courage to be yourselves, to take risks and not be copies of your recordings or of others'. Practice your instrument in order to free yourself from any psycho-technical constraint, to be able to create when you play. Listen to your inner ear, which is connected directly to your heart and spirit, the one that tells you what you feel is you! And the one you don't feel isn't you. Remember that a beautiful "wrong" note by a Kreisler, a Thibaud, a Casals or a Callas is worth more than a thousand so-called "right" notes and that playing that is hygienically and clinically correct is not necessarily a sign of good health! Take heart! Good health to you!”
Ivry Gitlis - January 2007. Remembering the master today with these great words. Do you have favorite quotes that inspire you? Please share!
