Some questions for the talented Ms. Allen

I just graduated with my Communications degree so I figured I'd test my interviewing skills lol

1. As a native of Harlem, a place full of culture and a celebratory place of the black experience, do you consider yourself to be AFROCENTRIC?

2. Who are your favorite female singers?

3. Who are your favorite male singers?

4. Do you consider yourself a singer who can act or an actress who can sing?

5. Will we see you play the piano and sing at the same time?

6. Is your baby girl trying to sing yet?

Ms. Allen ,

Are you signed yet?

HOLLYWOOD:
1. Afrocentric is such a strong word. Let me look it up: Regarding African or Black culture as preeminent. I would have to say no. But am I a proud African-American?.. Yes. Do I want African art in my house?.. yes. So, if you mean it that way.. I would say I can be.

2. Favorite female singers.. Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Ella Fitzgerald, Mariah Carey... etc

3. Males... Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway.. etc.

4. I would definitely say a Singer who can act!

5. Probably! That is a real fear of mine to play publicly.... but I LOVE the piano.

6. And for my baby girl.. All the time!

I love TimCondition's question number four & chasencharles's number five [HILARI0US] & number six! I only have one question.. How old is your daughter now?

Timconditions:

1. What is the biggest challenge you find with being a parent in your line of work?
A: The biggest challenge would be anything I have to do that I cannot include my child. That could be certain studio sessions, rehearsals and travel. I am very fortunate to have a AWESOME support system.

2. Why should I buy your cd?
A: I wouldn't say should, but if you're looking for a unique sound, live instrumentation, great production, and a powerful voice, then my CD would be a great buy.

3. What do you want to portray to young girls and women who will look to you as a role model?
A: I would want to get across that it's a wonderful feeling to be able to use your gift and inspire. We are all given something... Use your potential to its complete capacity and don't let your chances/blessings pass you by.

4. If you could only hear one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: Wow... I have NO idea. I love so many songs for different moods I'm in.

5. Outside of those you have already performed with, who would you most like to share the stage with (past or present).
A: Michael Jackson.

i kno pretty creepy how i spotted that, i think i might have missed my calling or somethin lol

Have you ever thought about trying out for American idol when it first started or did you prefer to go solo on your own? The reason why I asked because some people that tried out made it to like the top ten and I use to listen to their stories on how they use to sing backup for different artist. Their is nothing wrong with doing your own thing. Some singers go on their own and be successful.

Hi Sasha!

Been a fan since "Diva"; loved in you "Camp". I Check for you almost daily on youtube. I love the performance at the Underground of "What If God Was One of Us". The vocal arangement is sick! I'm hoping you choose to put a version of this song on your debut album. PRETTY PLEASE! If you do, don't change a thing! (even down to the back ground vocals). I love the break down ("tryin' to make his way...") It's a youtube classic for me. Good luck!

CHASEN:

1. If you could be in any musicals past on present broadway or movie, wat would it be and y?
A: Passing Strange or In The Heights. These are fun and current!
I LOVED Fame!!! That was my inspiration to go to LaGuardia HS so... I'd gladly be in that one!

2. What ever happened to BARE?
A: It was an amazing musical... I don't think Broadway was ready for it yet.

3. how did u get casted for CAMP?
A: Through my agent at the time. Went on an audition, had a few call backs and got it. I did the staged reading first and they called me back to do the movie!!

4. how long does it take u to write a song or complete one? the whole process if u dont mind lol
A: It could take anywhere from a day to a few weeks!
Writing a song for me is all about my mood. So, sometimes it comes easy and sometimes not.

5. LASTLY does ur family ask you to sing all the time at family functions and wat not? lol
A: LOL... actually not really. My grandmother and Aunt are both pianists so I love singing with them!! Christmas is usually a very musical time with my family.

6. O O last one 4real, how often do u get recognized?
A: I get recognized pretty often. It's usually CAMP lovers who give me a shout out!!!!!

A: Yeah, I've thought about it MANY times but didn't think it was the avenue for me at the time.

Hey Sasha,

It's Jai, I've been a fan since Born to Diva, here are my questions

1. Will you be adding more videos to your youtube account? I love hearing you sing, your voice gives me chills.

2. Do you see your career as being just singer or do you plan on exploring other talents?

3. Will you incorporate your talent of playing piano on your upcoming album?
