1 on 1 with Queen’s finest Rai Smith
What’s your artist's name and where are you from? Rai Smith from Hollis, Queens, New York Why do you love music? Music is communication. I love that sometimes the best way for me to describe what I'm feeling is through song. It’s a little weird but melody and sonic energy can often translate feelings a little bit better than a regular conversation. Music gives me a chance to say things that might not be the easiest for me to say. When I get behind a mic, it’s therapy. There are no limitations, there’s nothing holding me back, it's like the mic is amplifying my mind, soul and body to relay the message. I can be honest without ridicule because it’s my art. I honor and respect my process; sharing it only feels right.

Getting to know music artist Alexander Yearns
Alexander Yearns is a profesional musical artist and songwriter from Palisades Park, NJ Why do you love music? I love music because it takes me from the mundane and everyday pangs that come with life. It fills me with a wonder that I’ve not experienced from any other art form. You can’t hold it. You can’t touch it. Yet you can feel it so profoundly. It brings me closer to God which is where I want to be - as close to God as I can be - I just want to be closer and music does that. To share all of that with others by providing that experience feels like a gift and a responsibility. Personally and more selfishly, it allows me to reinvent myself however I’d like to. That’s always fun. My first exposure to music happened at seven years old when I brought home my Uncle’s Elvis Presley CD boxset. That music - his spirit electrified me. I began impersonating Elvis and would put on shows for my Mom and Dad. I would lip sync to songs and really get into it. I decided then that I wanted to practice music always. The impression it left on my young self still exists within me today. To think that the energy of an artist from the 1950s can permeate through time so powerfully as to have such an effect on a kid born in 1994 blows my mind. That’s the power of music.

Getting to know music artist Stevvon Valentino
My name is Stevvon Valentino, and I am from the west side of Chicago, Illinois, born and raised. My liking in music was sparked by my family, who all do music, vocally and instrumentally. I love music because it holds the power to control emotions, as well as tell a story to the listener, and could either be so straightforward, or can leave it up to them how to take it. As an artist I love to feel in control of my music, and be able to make someone happy, encourage them, or give them knowledge in a way they'll better remember. Also, music changed my life. As someone with epilepsy, a good night's rest was something I got every blue moon. Listening to music was the only thing that could prevent me from going into seismic shock, and I can remember one day after singing the words to my favorite song "Jesus Jesus Jesus" by Timothy Wright, my seizures stopped occurring. Music saved my life so essentially music is my life.
