Released in April, Hae.zy showcases her intricate songwriting abilities through her latest EP “Love letter “. The instrumental versions of each song in the second half of the EP help extend your journey through the gorgeous world she created. Continue reading to learn more about each track and how Hae.zy has developed as an artist.
I noticed that dreams have played a major role in your artistic journey: First, implementing the dream your mom had while pregnant with you in your song “Mong”; the second being the inspiration behind your unreleased song “We Are Here”, which subsequently led to realizing your purpose of healing the world. Without these dreams do you believe that your life would be in the same trajectory that it is now, being that you were meant to go down this artistic path even without divine intervention?
I can’t even imagine what life would be like without dreams or imaginations because that is how I communicate and co-create with the Higher source. These downloads come from God and from there I move accordingly to what feels right to my spirit. So I don’t think I would be in the same place without dreams.
I learned recently that quarantine was the push you needed to quit your job and do music full time. How else has the past year helped you get closer to where you want to be?
This quarantine was a major blessing for me because I learned lessons on lessons on how to go from where I am to where I want to be. I was given the opportunity to really look at parts of myself that I didn’t have time to look at when the world was moving fast. I was forced to digest what full surrender looked or felt like and allow life to unfold all the beautiful blessings that I’ve already planted. All of these inner healings and lessons that I’ve absorbed during the quarantine changed and molded me into a whole new woman and artist today, which gives me more clarity on my future plans and endeavors.
What is one lesson you would want the listeners to take away from your new EP “Love letter”?
The only thing I wish for this EP is for the world to get to know Hae.zy as an artist and what I stand for. I hope for people to feel the Love in my music and see the Love’s presence in my life. I came out with Love letter and ‘Love’ represents God, I know that love is the highest frequency to ever exist which brings healing to our world against all the odds everyday. I wanted my first EP to be a strong representation of me musically but also content-wise as well.
Where does your mind go when you’re creating music?
Sometimes my mind goes astray and creates things in the image of the ego and whenever I find myself in this place I start to overthink everything. But when I focus on the whole purpose of why I’m doing what I’m doing, it keeps me aligned and that’s when magic happens. That’s when vulnerability, love, empathy, storytelling and magic occurs.
Did you discover anything about yourself when writing the songs for “Love letter”?
I’ve discovered so much about myself during this whole process and they were all extremely crucial in building my character. I learned that I’m more patient than I thought of myself, many times things wouldn’t go my way or within my own timing and those road bumps would lead me to defeat in the past. But through all the lessons I’ve learned from my past experiences I was able to use my patience and faith in the process rather than the end result, to lead me into creating a special project that I am now proud to present to the world. It’s hard to explain but my spirituality got so much stronger throughout this album process, this project was truly a co-creation with me and the Divine.
You said in a previous interview that you discovered your calling of performing on stage at age 14. How did this calling appear? Can you describe how you felt when you first performed on stage? How have you evolved since?
I simply began singing in church in front of people and from the affirmations I received from the people, that naturally moved me towards music and art as my career path. But the first time I felt the exhilaration of being on stage was in 8th grade when I was casted as one of the major roles in a high school musical production. That’s when I truly felt the connection not only with the people in the production but also the audience. These types of connections keep me hopeful, youthful and joyful. I hadn’t gotten off the stage ever since and don’t plan on leaving anytime soon. This is just the beginning for me
