first interview

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-☆°☆_-_-_-_--_-_-_-_-_--_-_-_-

"You know," the interviewer began, his voice smooth and measured, "we have a special guest here today. Korina, the talented new singer who’s about to make waves in the industry. She’s got a fresh take on mixing R&B with the gritty energy of West Coast rap, and people are definitely paying attention. Korina, welcome."

The room seemed to pause for a moment, and I could feel the weight of the spotlight turn toward me. The cameras clicked and whirred, capturing every movement as I tried to stay calm. This was it—the moment I had worked for, the moment I’d dreamed of. My debut.

I straightened up in my seat, giving a confident smile. "Thank you for having me. It’s exciting to be here, especially with all the legends in the room."

The interviewer chuckled and leaned forward. "You're the one making waves right now. People are really curious about your sound, especially since you’re blending R&B with gangster rap influences. That’s not something you see every day. Can you tell us more about how that came together?"

I felt the familiar flutter of excitement in my chest, but I pushed it down. This was what I was here for—to explain my vision. "For me, music is about connection, about telling the truth through every note and lyric. R&B has always been about emotions—the love, the heartache, the soul. And rap, particularly gangster rap, has been about telling the real stories of the streets, the struggle, and the fight to survive. So when I thought about my album, I realized that the two worlds weren’t so far apart. They both come from a place of realness, of raw feeling. It just made sense to merge them."

The interviewer nodded thoughtfully, his expression intrigued. "That’s an interesting perspective. But how do you feel about stepping into the world of gangster rap when so many artists are focused on hard edges, the street life, the violence? Does it ever feel like you’re stepping into a space that’s dominated by a completely different vibe?"

I paused, considering my answer carefully. I had lived through some tough times, seen things that made me strong, and heard stories from my friends and family that shaped who I was. The idea of blending R&B with rap wasn’t just an artistic choice—it was deeply personal.

"I think people sometimes forget that the struggles of life are universal. Whether you’re singing a love song or rapping about life on the streets, at the end of the day, it’s all about survival and finding your place in the world," I explained. "For me, my music is about telling my truth, and if that resonates with someone in the streets or someone listening to late-night R&B, then I’ve done my job."

The interviewer seemed impressed by my answer, but there was something in his tone that shifted. He leaned in just a little too close, his voice taking on a softer, more flirtatious edge. "I think you’ve got more than just talent, Korina. You’ve got a certain presence about you, a certain... allure. I mean, it’s not just the voice—it’s the way you carry yourself."

I felt a sudden discomfort settle in. I had been on interviews before, and I knew how these things could go. The lines between professional and personal often blurred in the music industry. But I wasn’t here to entertain anyone’s fantasies. I was here to make a name for myself based on my talent and my artistry, not my looks or the attention I got for being a woman in the industry.

I gave him a polite smile, but my voice remained firm. "I appreciate that, but I’m focused on my music. I came here to show people that R&B can be just as powerful as rap, and that my voice has something to say. That’s what I want people to remember me for."

The interviewer gave a slight smirk, but I could tell he respected my boundaries. He straightened up, shifting the conversation back to music. "Fair enough. So, your debut album... people are saying it’s going to be a game-changer. What can fans expect from it?"
