Ms. Namita Nayyar: On your website you wrote “When you listen to music and understand what someone else is saying – you feel understood. You feel less alone. I want to be that voice that brings sense and sanity to peoples lives. I want to give people that happiness, sadness – whatever is it that they want and need to feel. Music is an experience. I want people to experience mine” . Elaborate on this concept of your own personalised music?
Ms. Stef Lang: I think the purpose of music is to feel connected. To feel emotion, to be inspired. When someone hears a song and that songs resonates with them, then that’s when music is a success. The artist has connected with the listener. They have evoked something inside them emotionally and moved them. I love the way my favorite music moves me… and that’s what I want to give to others.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Who has been your inspiration and motivation that led you to your success in the world of singing and as a music performer?
Ms. Stef Lang: Tegan and Sara have been a big motivation. Mostly because I’ve watched their entire career, been to their shows, seen them evolve and grow. Watched how hard they work, I’ve been a fan since I was 14. Seeing them accomplish things lifts me up, inspires me to do better. Every win for them, is like a win for me. I also just love listening to Robyn’s records and Kid Cudi’s records.
Robyn took time out after her hits in the 90’s, when she came back, she had completely re-invented herself. I just love that she took that time to herself and came back when she was ready to. I really respect her as an artist. She seems very confident in her style and her writing and is very much in control of her career. Kid Cudi raps a lot about his struggles coming up from Cleveland, how he chased his dreams and all the hardships he had along the way. This personal input into his art really motivates me and inspires me to know that none of us are alone in feeling what we feel.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: Tell us about your sophomore release”Self”. This album of yours was voted one of Canada’s Top 15 Albums of 2012?
Ms. Stef Lang: “Self” was a gift to myself. I started working on that project after I had done three Canadian tours and had 3 singles on Canadian radio. While the more commercial sounding songs I had written were garnering all this attention, I still needed to make music that took me elsewhere. The album is very moody, I wrote all the songs, produced all the songs and I basically gave myself the permission to play around with whatever sounds I felt like playing with. It was my way of “freeing” myself from the expectations of commercial radio.
Ms. Namita Nayyar: With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Stef Lang: Yes. All of it is because of Him. He gave me all my gifts. I choose to use them, pursue them but He made me the way that I am. When I make music, it’s not even really me…. its me tapping into the “creative source” some sort of “divine source” – ideas seem to come from thin air but I believe it’s all Him.
I’m just the vessel, He works through me. I pray through everything…. through good times, bad times, hard times, He always knows just what I need and I believe the journey He made for me is exactly where I’m supposed to be, even when I want to be elsewhere….I know He’s teaching me.
