Rules of life. Grace Kelly: "This is my real name!"
If, with the name "Grace Kelly" you expect to see the blue-eyed blonde woman - the style icon of the middle of the twentieth century, then you will be waiting for cruel disappointment. This Asian from New York with blue hair is the only girl with a saxophone on a modern jazz scene.
For its 25 years, Grace Kelly gave more than 800 concerts in 30 countries around the world, played with the greatest jazzmen from Dave Brubeck to Gloria Estenpan, but in Russia they know unablerily enough. PICS.RU for musical enlightenment - fix the situation!
Usually people ask me why I took such a strange pseudonym - they still know only one Grace Kelly. But the fact is that this is my real name. Parents divorced, and then Mom married a man named Bob Kelly. So I turned out.
This is my first visit to Russia - I spent several days in St. Petersburg, and now I came to the concert in Moscow. In New York, where I live, just as cold, so all these your stories about Russian frosts are a complete garbage.
I did not hear any Russian musicians - except for Tchaikovsky - and did not look at any Russian films. But my boyfriend from Belarus, so I think I will have time to catch. That, already tried a little vodka.
I love music, because for everyone she is its own, but at the same time it is a universal language of communication.
I never thought about choosing something one thing: sing writing music or play a saxophone. All these things are so significant that removes one thing - and lose its essential part of yourself. Some thoughts and feelings I can express in the song, but sometimes I do not have enough words - and then only a melody remains. This is true freedom.
Music is a powerful tool impact on people. Often, after concerts, people are suitable for me and admit that the one or another melody made to break down, touched the heart and soul. For me, this is the purest water magic.
The source of inspiration can be anything.
Easier and faster I write songs about people and life situations. Sometimes I love to consider colors for a long time - I also see music in them. But sometimes just let go of the imagination to the will and let himself everything. No barriers. Pure creativity.
Sometimes songs are also obtained from overheard conversations. That is so cool! You can sit in a cafe all day and just listening to people around.
I am a girl with a saxophone. I have no and there was no role model besides me myself. Therefore, now I am incredibly pleased to receive letters from girls who are inspired by me and my creativity, listen to my albums and ultimately take into the hands of a saxophone.
I listen to everything in a row - from Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Beatles, Paul McCartney to Brazilian music, Samba, and that's all.
Fortunately, I have very intelligent fans, no one crosses a certain feature. No such strange freaks, you know.
My life did not change at all with the arrival of glory. Of course, it's great to work with cool musicians, record albums, ride a tour, filming in a TV show, great when you know on the street. But for me, the main music was always the main thing, and I am happy that I can do my beloved thing. It's the most important.
I do not like all this modern publicity. Yes, there are moments when you need to give an interview, tell about the new album, take a picture for a fashion magazine. But if you do it all the time, then how to concentrate on music?
Strange when fans know about you more than you yourself know about yourself. Sometimes it really scares.
