Camille Kleidysz: Welcome to Nazareth Heights Café! I had the opportunity to listen to some of your latest Cd, and I have to say that I was completely blown away and moved. You have had some amazing things happen to you lately. Stellar Award nominee for best new artist of the year, your music is taking off here in the States as well as internationally in London. There is truly something special about your voice and songs. What inspired you to come up with the title of your album?
Marjane’: The title of the album was inspired through my personal relationship with God. When I think of all the things he has done for me it brings joy to my heart. I know I will never let go of him.
Camille: Do you have any advice for singers who are trying to break into the business?
Marjane’: My advice for other singers would be to follow the leading of the Lord in all you do. Allow God to take the driver seat in your ministry. Stay focused and in communion with the Lord. There you will find everything you need. Through that special time with God the spirit of God takes reign in you and the Holy Spirit will be present in everything.
Camille: What do you like to do when you’re not singing?
Marjane’: When I am not singing I love to go to the movies and dinner.
Camille: In your opinion what makes a great song?
Marjane': The anointing is what makes a great song. Anyone can sing but it's the power of God behind it that can change someone’s life.
Camille: What was going through your mind when you first found out that you were nominated for the Stellar Awards as best new artist of the year?
Marjane': I was so excited to make the ballot for the Stellar Award. All I could do was thank God.
Camille: What was it like to be one of BET’s Sunday Best semi finalists? And how did you balance your ministry while participating in a competition?
Marjane': My experience at BET's Sunday Best was awesome !!!! It was great for exposure. I currently do not participate in competitions anymore because personally it does not make sense. How can the anointing of God compete against itself? We all have been gifted by God and it's up to us to let him make that platform.
Camille: Tell us your latest news?
Marjane’: My latest news: I am a Nominee for a 2009 London MP3 Music Award.I have also had the chance this month to do the artist showcase for the Gospel music Workshop of America in Cincinnati!
I would like to thank Marjane’ for sharing with us today, and congratulate her on her recent nomination for the London MP3 Awards! Make sure you stop by her website to hear some of her latest project and purchase her CD. www.marjanemusic.com
