by Jacqueline Jax host of A.V.A Live Radio

The music business is challenging…
since you have to be extremely innovative, driven, resourceful, motivated and very creative in order to be seen and heard all possible relevant places, and especially in order to make any revenue from the music. That’s why you have to get out there live and play for the crowd, which is really fun too. It’s kind a great that it’s all back to the artist and your own self control again, you can achieve a lot on your own, but it’s really hard work, like 24-7.

What pros and cons have you experienced…
It’s empowering to be in control working independently making sure you overlook everything 100%, hands on, and have the final say, and it’s also a lonely road at times because you can do a lot as a one man band, but then again you need that musical family and support. I try to find the balance and make sure to include my friends along the way for support, guidance etc.

Anne Marie Bush featured ava live radioI stay in control and take responsibility myself all the way…
This way I only have myself to blame when I slip, and that get’s boring, so I stay focused, positive and upbeat. I gain a lot of energy by meditation, making my daily yoga and fitness exercises, by eating healthy, I get my rest, and I try not to take myself too seriously. I laugh and make jokes any possible chance I get.

Social media…
Its a big fun animal and you meet so many interesting people, I love it. Your new next friend is just one click away. But you have to find the balance. I draw the line when it gets too personal.

I would love to have 5 minutes alone with….
Beyonce’. She seems extremely self driven, ethical, resourceful, powerful, talented and honest, with a very strong soulful artistic and personal integrity. She is the real deal.

I definitely strive after finding that artistic and commercial balance…
I do not sell out, I simply can’t. I always follow my heart, my vision and my instincts…..I let my self get inspired from all kinds of personal experiences, feelings, a mood., travel, meetings etc….

Anne Marie Bush indie musicI am most afraid of…
being numb, shallow and empty.

My personal definition of success is..
being true to who you are, BE YOURSELF, being honest, follow your heart and your instincts. Walk that extra mile… Name one success story that you are particularly proud of. Explain why you considered this a great success and how you achieved it.When I moved to the States and followed my dreams. I worked very hard, and it paid off, I met so many wonderful extremely talented people in the business, and many are still my very good friends.

My over all goal for my life & career is…
Stay true to yourself, improve something great every day, and great things will manifest.

3 Ways that I challenge myself …
1)Put your best food forward every day, walk that extra mile
2)Be a better version of yourself every day and make a difference
3)I take time to respect and listen to others every day and I perfect my craft every day, always try to do better…..Lazyness does not exist in my life or in my work.

Music…
I had an internship when I attended Elementary School/Highschool before going to the Academy Of Music: Singing, touring and recording with famous Danish rock groups like Lars Lilholt Band, Gnags, Kræn Bysted’s, Halgrim and Baldur. This inspired me to pursue a professional music career from day one.

I Won’t Run Away…
written, performed and co-produced by Anne Marie Bush. I was writing “I Won’t Run Away” alone in my studio by the piano. Bottom line it’s about this special soul connection you have to the one you love, whom you devote your life to. I came up with the title and hook first, from where the song evolved, then I recorded all the vocals and the basic demo in my studio. One of my close producer friends produced the music and the final track

I wanna show a deep and broad variety of my work as an artist, a singer and as a producer. My lyrics tells a story with a deeper meaning. It will be marketed via social media campaigns and via radio campaigns, interviews etc.

How do you feel about releasing singles vs an album…
Its OK, it’s a cool promotion tool, and you make yourself seen and heard. But EPs and albums are just as important so you can show your fans a bigger and broader variety as an artist. Here you get the chance to go deeper and show more of your artistic colors.
I try to show the audience and my fans what I am really about, and i believe it shines through my work, my art, my positive attitude and my songs.
