Go to the interview!

Thank you very much! for this oportunity How are you?  

A:Hi, I am fine. Thanks for the invitation!

Tell us your story, how you came to this musical genre?

A: I’ve always liked music. I used to watch all Disney princesses singing and a movie that I’ve watched that I’ve really loved was “Willie the Operatic Whale”. So the whale has inspired me too, hahaha, nor only the princesses. When I was 13 I started singing classes.

About the genre, when I was a kid, my parents used to listen to Rolling Stones, so I’ve liked the song “Start me up”. They’ve discovered a lot of bands and we’ve discovered others together. 

When I was 11, I started to listen to Linkin Park and at 13, to Evanescence. After some time, my mother has seen the Nightwish’s album Bless the Child in a megastore. She’s liked the cover so we’ve started to listen to it and since that, my parents and I have started to listen to many metal bands. I like celtic music too (my mother’s influence), hard rock and pop.

What are your musical influences?

A:  Evanescence, Nightwish with Tarja, Sarah Brightman, Celtic music, Metallica, After Forever, Epica, Xandria and many more.

What is your vocal training?

A:  I don’t drink neither smoke and I do some vocal exercises. I like to sleep and I try to sleep 9 hours per day.

What are your hoobies, what do you like to do?

A: I like walking, cooking, shopping, staying with my family and friends and watching  fashion TV programs.

Darkzen: ok

Does the name Lyria have a meaning?

A: Not exactly. This name was inspired by the Greek mythology classes I’ve atended at the University. The lyre has been an important musical instrument for the Greeks. It also reminds me of the flower lily, which I really appreciate and it is also related to the word lyrics.

Tell us about your album Catharsis, how was the produccion?

A: It has taken us one day to record the video. I think this song is heavy and catchy, and particularly, I like this song a lot. So I’ve thought it would be a good choice and the guys’ve agreed. The script was an idea from Zig and me.

Did you write some songs?

A;Yes, all of them! Haha. I have had help from my husband in some lyrics and one of them was an Eliezer’s idea.

Tell us about the production of the video with the song Jester, why did you choose this song?

A: It has taken us one day to record the video. I think this song is heavy and catchy, and particularly, I like this song a lot. So I’ve thought it would be a good choice and the guys’ve agreed. The script was an idea from Zig and me.

How you consider your album, new, classic, or different? Based on the lyrics and sound.

A: New, classic and different. =D. New and different because we’ve mixed a lot of different elements and sounds and I  like to  put some optimism in the lyrics so I think this is different .Classic because it reminds sometimes some classic Symphonic metal bands, hahaha! 

Darkzen: jajaja you applied me!

What surprises we can expect from Lyria for the new year?

A: I hope a lot of shows and more Music Videos.

Will be there any other musical video? 

A:Yes! But we don’t know what song will be the next one yet.

Anything else would like to share with us?
