Over the years I have interviewed lots of artists and bands, and been to many concerts, but one artist that you may never have heard of has took me back to what real music is all about. Forget the gimmick, forget the technical equipment to improve voices, this artist has a voice that doesn’t need any special effects.
She has been described as one of the most exciting unsigned artists on the planet, and her new song Left Hand Of The Devil, is the best new single I have listened to in the past 12 months, and trust me, I have to listen to a lot of music.
But who is this artist I am talking about. Her name is Sweet C. I was lucky enough to sit down with Sweet C and talk about her new song Left Hand Of The Devil, and this is what she had to say.
What was the first single or album you bought?
I honestly don’t remember, I’m 52 years old and grew up too poor to buy music. I listened to mix tapes we recorded from the radio.
What was the first concert you went to and how old were you and did it have an impact on you wanting to have a career in music?
I believe it was Jaci Velasquez. Sometime in my teenage years. Yes, I wanted to become a singer back then as well.
What age were you when you decided to make music your career?
I always loved to sing and wrote my first song in 1990. Life was a struggle for me though, so I waited until I retired from the USAF at the age of 47 to pursue this dream.
How would you describe your style of music?
Very unique and multi genre.
When I listened to your new track Left Hand Of The Devil, it reminded me of so many great artists and bands rolled into one, which includes Fleetword Mac, and KT Tunstall, who would you say are your influences in music and have any of them influenced your sound?
I hear that a lot about Fleetwood Mac. Several people have told me my voice reminds them of Stevie Nicks. I just recently started listening to her though so I wouldn’t say she has influenced me but I do love her music now. I listen more to Christian artists like Lauren Daigle and Katy Nichole. I also love to sing Whitney Houston and Shania Twain for Karaoke.
Talking of your new track Left Hand Of The Devil, which I have to say I love, how did you come up with the song and can you explain the meaning behind the song?
The words hit me like a wave last year when I had growing concerns about our political choices running for President. I’m a Christian and have seen how the Jezebel Spirit has infiltrated politics causing many people to make bad policies that are clearly evil and will lead us to the One World Order. I wanted to create a song to wake up the sleepy Christians who are blinded to see evil for evil and good for good.
I love it that you are not only a talented songwriter, but you are also a poet, has poetry helped you in your craft of writing music?
Yes, every song has started out as a poem. The hard part for me is creating the melody which is more of a challenge for me.
What is one thing about your life your fans don’t know about and what may surprise them?
I’m pretty transparent and reveal a lot of personal testimonies on my YouTube channel. I suppose one thing about me my fans do not know yet is that I’m a black belt in karate. I stopped training many years ago but I could still hold my own if I had to.
Yes, two of my songs were written while I was deployed on two separate deployments. That was my therapy which helped me get through it.
What would you say has been the highlight of your musical career to date?
The highlight of my music career so far has been getting told by a fan that my song “Let Him Live” touched her while she was going through a similar situation with her pregnancy.
When you write your songs, what comes first, the music or the lyrics?
The lyrics have always come first for me. That is the most natural process for me.
If you could get on stage with any singer in the world, who would it be and why?
I would love to share a stage with Scotty Hasting. He is a new and awesome country singer as well as a fellow military veteran.
Are there any plans to release an album and if so, what can we expect?
Yes, I plan to release an album sometime this year. It will be a collection of most of my current songs along with at few new ones. I will sell that in vinyl and CD formats on my website at www.sweetcmusic.com
