If you’ve ever had to struggle with taking advice, especially your own advice, you’ll probably be able to relate to JAYNIE’s new single “Own Advice.” It has a catchy melody and dulcet vocals you’re sure to enjoy. We had the pleasure of interviewing JAYNIE, and here’s what she had to say:
Q: I love your vocal range on this song! What was your vocal routine before/during the recording of this song?
JAYNIE: Thank you! I don’t really have a specific vocal routine that I do. I usually just try to work on the correct breathing so that I don’t run out of air. Then I get into the emotion of the song and sing it many times until I feel like I have the right vibe.
Q: What message are you hoping to convey with “Own Advice”?
JAYNIE: It’s like it’s so easy to give out advice to friends and family but when it comes to yourself it’s like the hardest thing to do and you become a total contradiction. I want the song to feel light and to not take yourself so seriously and I hope people can relate to it while laughing at our own behaviors.
Q: What’s the best advice you’ve been given about the music industry?
JAYNIE: I think the most important advice is that you should do your own thing. Don’t try to follow trends so much, go with your gut instinct, there’s always someone that’s gonna like what you do.
Q: How would you describe Sweden’s music scene? How do you think this has influenced your sound?
JAYNIE: Sweden’s music scene plays a huge deal in who I am today. One of my biggest inspirations as a kid was Max Martin and I got the chance to meet him when I went to the songwriting school Musikmakarna. Writing with so many talented Swedish songwriters and artists has helped me grow as one myself and I’m so grateful for it.
Q: What is one thing you are looking forward to achieving musically this year?
JAYNIE: I want to release more music and reach out to more people. Maybe play some of it live, that would be so fun!
Q: What advice would you give to up-and-coming artists honing their craft and trying to gain some visibility?
JAYNIE: I would say, believe in yourself even when nobody believes in you. Work hard, and make lots of connections with people around the world. Also, try doing different things in music to broaden yourself and to find inspiration. Find people who you work well with and who are kind and keep them close, that’s helped me to always have fun with music and to not put pressure on myself. Don’t be scared to go outside your comfort zone and play around with different styles and release music out into the world, because your passion is meant to be seen.
