Your name:
Matina Z.
Where are you from?
I'm from a small suburb just north of Toronto
called Newmarket in the province of Ontario in Canada.
How would you describe yourself?
A would describe myself as a modern rock
alternative singer/songwriter.
Who are your main influences musically?
I have my own unique sound and style. I tend to
lean towards modern rock bands including: Foo Fighters, U2, Kings of Leon,
Coldplay to name a few.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
I'm looking forward to being at the pinnacle of the music
industry and to touch people with my music around the world.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
The highlight of my career so far is the tour I'm
currently on called Yes I Can Tour that has a self-empowering/anti-bullying
message with it and having one of my tracks called Stage 9 Clinger chart number one for six weeks straight in Italy. The Yes I Can Tour is a
highlight because I'm a strong advocate of anti-bullying and I believe strongly
in self-empowerment. This tour gives me the opportunity to spread my message
with many people. Reaching number one on radio is a reflection of my hard work and
dedication which motivates me even more.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
The first time I ever hit the stage was at a jam
and I decided to allow certain stoned/drunk musicians to play with me. It was
an interesting experience which I thought would scar me for life, but now I
look back and laugh at it. It was a pretty funny moment. For all you
musicians...watch who you invite up to play with you. ;)
If you could choose just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
Every song I write represents an aspect of my music
and myself. To select only one is close to impossible for me to do. My whole
album entitled Whispers in the Dark represents myself and each song
carries a piece of me.
