11
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.079
How are you. I'm doing wellthy
thank you for having me on today.

12
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.719
Well, thanks for being here.
And first thing I have to ask

13
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.319
you right off the bat, did
I say it all correctly? Because the

14
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:29.840
worst thing radio people do is butcher
people's names and band names. Well,

15
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.920
I did give you grace because if
you were to really say it like a

16
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.200
Pakistani it would be funnah nod.
But you've said it Sharana, which is

17
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.480
great. Say look at that.
I'm glad you said it, though.

18
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:47.519
Say I go on tour and I
do radio coverage at music festivals, and

19
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:52.359
I always have the artists say it
like, you can't do that on a

20
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:57.959
phoner, but in person you can. And they always, First of all,

21
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.000
then you know you're never gonna,
you know, mess up their name.

22
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:05.840
But second of all, they always
say it better, and so did

23
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:07.840
you. You know what, Dean, Here's the thing. I grew up

24
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:09.520
in Texas, so people call me
Sarah, and if they didn't get it,

25
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:15.120
I would say Sarah like Sarah Faucet. So I respond to anything and

26
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.840
everything, So I'm good. You
know what's funny about that. You may

27
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.159
or may not like what I'm about
to say. But when I was a

28
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:27.159
kid, I was totally into Farah
Faucet. I was totally into it,

29
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.800
like she was in Charlie's Angels.
I had the Pharahfaucet bathroom rug, the

30
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:38.840
shag bathroom rug, and we had
a dog, a b Sean, and

31
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:45.520
I named it Sarah. Oh my
goodness, you even had a dog named

32
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.400
Sarah. You know, I actually
love it because she is such an iconic

33
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.919
human being. I mean, she
is the iconic, quintessential American female from

34
00:02:55.919 --> 00:03:01.840
the seventies, so absolutely great.
See look at that, there's the six

35
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:09.919
degrees of separation between me and you
right there. So I want to hear

36
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:16.280
about your background because definitely you come
from music. Like I don't think you

37
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:23.759
could escape music if you wanted to, you know, that's right, Dean.

38
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.520
I grew up in a home where
my mother used to always say that

39
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:31.400
you sang before you spoke, forah, so I do remember being able to

40
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.520
sing a melody prior to even ever
being able to form words. And my

41
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.840
dad was a setar player. It
is a cetar player. But I so

42
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.240
I grew up in a home where
music was constantly. It was inundated.

43
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.960
It was in the air every night
when we went to sleep, Mama tuckasin

44
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.039
and we could hear dad playing practicing
in the background in the living room for

45
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.240
two to three to four hours.
So I fell asleep to my father playing

46
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.919
setar, and then on a month
slea bases. My parents would have music

47
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:06.039
parties where we had greats like Robbie
Shunker and you know many others who would

48
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:13.199
come to these gatherings that my parents
would host. So you know, I

49
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.319
couldn't escape it, You're right.
And then on the other end, Western

50
00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:21.360
music was constantly being piped into my
reality because we grew up in a you

51
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.360
know, a home where family was
all over the world, UK, Canada,

52
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.879
and we grew up going to English
medium schools, and so there was

53
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.040
Western music constantly coming into my ears. I grew up with Judas Priest,

54
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.279
Iron Maiden on one side, and
the other side was you know, Indian

55
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:43.560
classical music. So it was brilliant. See I love that, and I

56
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:48.600
love you know, like so you
can take all those influences from your travels

57
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:57.079
in the world and where you've lived
and combine them all into your own unique

58
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.920
sound. Absolutely absolutely, you know
it's the I mean, it's a diversity

59
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:06.360
right. Many times I felt my
whole life, I have felt like I

60
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:11.319
haven't fit in just because you know, again, first of all, I

61
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:17.199
will probably be the first female from
Pakistan to ever you know, have any

62
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:24.600
kind of accolades within the rock heavy
rock genre. And so everywhere I went

63
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.360
I always felt like I was ahead
of my time. And now it feels

64
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:32.920
like that the world is finally ready
for the amount of diversity and the color

65
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:38.680
that is inside of my experiences.
So yeah, it definitely does color at

66
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:43.279
all. It's true because you know, we go back to like the seventies

67
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.480
and eighties, and you know,
you couldn't blend genres much less, you

68
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:56.680
know, music from different parts of
the world into one song or one album.

69
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.279
And I love that we can do
that nowadays because it's way. But

70
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:05.360
you're an artist, you should express
yourself, you know, absolutely, absolutely,

71
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.279
And I think the listening ears ready
for it too now. I think

72
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:15.279
with the world becoming one technologically and
through the Internet and through social media,

73
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.079
I think, you know, I
have cousins who still live in Pakistan,

74
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:23.680
who live other parts of the world, and it's unbelievable how we are all

75
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:30.519
in the same reality because of technology, you know, and so it's incredible.

76
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:34.720
It's the right time there you go. So I was at this festival

77
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:41.720
a couple of months ago where this
dude played. He he's known for this

78
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.920
song rich Men North of Richmond,
and he was he was in a little

79
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:54.920
pop up as we were evacuated,
and then and then this comes across my

80
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.120
desk. I'm like, oh cool, and I have to say, okay,

81
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.839
hope he's not listening. Not the
throwing shade, but I liked your

82
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:09.360
version much better. Well, thank
you, thank you. You know,

83
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:15.000
it wasn't a competition when I wrote
it. But what I realized that his

84
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.360
is very very targeted. Sound is
targeted it is. I don't think he

85
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.480
ever met for it to become so
mthemic and for people to take it on

86
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.519
as a political song. I don't
think he even knew that it was going

87
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.720
to do what it did. Actually, but so many people were talking about

88
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.639
it, and my parents called me. I mean there, I grew up

89
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.319
in Dallas. You know, they
listen to Fox News, they do their

90
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.600
night they routines, and my mom
says, there's this guy named Oliver Anthony

91
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.839
and she goes he was on such
and such news broadcast. And I was

92
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.240
like, you got it, a
kidding made this guy's everywhere everywhere? My

93
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.920
parents know about him before I do. So I listened to the track,

94
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.680
and you know, and I realized, what was it about the song that

95
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.240
caught so many people so quickly.
I don't think it was just a political

96
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.959
agenda. I think it was an
actual It was their voice. It was

97
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:11.759
almost like somebody had given each individual
a voice wherever they were, whatever they

98
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.800
were was exhausting them, whatever was
weighing them down, they found a voice

99
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.680
through that song. And so I
thought, if this was my song,

100
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:24.360
if I had written it, where
would I take it? And what came

101
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:30.720
out was what you heard? I
love it and what kind of made you?

102
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:35.679
You know, there's millions of songs
you could pick from. What made

103
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:43.480
you pick this one? To reimagine
your own rendition of it? I'm you

104
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:48.600
know, Dana, I'm very fascinated
by the human realm. I'm I'm a

105
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.480
bit of a student when it comes
to studying humanity. I've always been that

106
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.960
way, ever since I was a
child. I'd wander off into thoughts for

107
00:08:54.039 --> 00:09:01.039
hours at a time, just you
know, contemplating humanity, plight and where

108
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.080
they're headed, where we're headed,
what we're doing. And so the fact

109
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:09.200
that it caught fire like a wildfire
fascinated me massively, and so I thought,

110
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.080
you know, here's a wildfire that
started on August ninth when the song

111
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.639
was released by Oliver Anthony, and
what could happen if I released it?

112
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.279
What would happen? You know?
I wanted to actually join the wildfire and

113
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.480
say and say, okay, those
people that wouldn't listen to it because it's

114
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.799
limited by a genre. What if
it went into my genre, what would

115
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.000
it do and what could it do? And could I bring the same depths

116
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:35.320
out of it that people have felt
through Oliver Anthony's And I think that tempted

117
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.919
me very quickly, and that's why
I chose to do it. I love

118
00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:45.360
it, and one thing I love
about it too is okay so to me

119
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:52.200
especially, I go in to all
different countries and all over the US to

120
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.279
these music festivals, do radio coverage, and there's one thing I find through

121
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.519
doing all that is that no matter
where I am in the world, there's

122
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:09.159
one unifier where everybody's included, and
that's a music festival. Yes, absolutely

123
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.480
absolutely, Music is the universal language. Seriously, you get you could take

124
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:18.360
people from fifteen different countries who you
don't speak a look of the other person's

125
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:24.440
language, but you turn on songs
and they will absolutely feel like they've known

126
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.720
each other and they can relate,
so no doubt. And then even it

127
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:33.240
always it's like amazing to me that
you can go to another country and a

128
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.320
person that doesn't speak any English at
all will still know the words of a

129
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:43.320
song. But it gets even better. I was with somebody I think it

130
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:50.279
was like two days ago. Oh. I was with my brother and there

131
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.360
was live music and it was in
different language, and I was singing it

132
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:58.120
and he goes, do you know
this song? And I'm like no,

133
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:01.000
but I like it, and he's
like, so, how do you know

134
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.519
the words? I'm like, I
don't know. I just do. That's

135
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.200
something I do. Well. There's
there's a band called Slaughter to Prevail their

136
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.720
Russian, but you know, they
do some songs in English, but then

137
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.120
they just belt it out in Russian
and I swear I can sing every word

138
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.879
and I don't speak Russian, right, but it comes out. And then

139
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.960
also, you know Lacuna Coil with
Christina Saba. When she was first starting

140
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.080
out, she didn't speak English very
well, but all her songs were in

141
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.279
English and you'd never know that she
didn't speak English. So you know,

142
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.759
I know, right, he think
allows you to translate in a way that

143
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:39.440
no other language can. It's so
true. And you just mentioned two bands

144
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.240
I absolutely love. But another example
too is the Scorpions. They originally,

145
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:52.000
oh I spoke German, and then
even there was I remember in the eighties

146
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.840
that apparently they were deaf too,
like from playing so wild all the time

147
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.559
and still could play great without even
being able to hear himself. Yes,

148
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.919
absolutely, so there you go.
There you have it. And you know

149
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.279
it is like to me, music
is the biggest therapy for you, the

150
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:16.440
artists, for me, the listener, and it is the one I think

151
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:22.559
safe place in the world that all
the bull crap that everybody's arguing about doesn't

152
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:28.399
even exist. Absolutely absolutely, I
think it is definitely that that language that

153
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.679
can create peace among the human spirit
that nothing else ever can and will I

154
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.600
don't believe. You know, it's
about resonance, it's about a beat,

155
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.639
it's about it's about so much more, and it climbs in it's so it's

156
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.519
such a transparent space. So it
definitely has no agenda attached to it.

157
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:54.080
That's another big thing with music.
No agenda's attached to music exactly. And

158
00:12:54.720 --> 00:13:01.320
and you know, I say,
instead of having wars, we should solve

159
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:09.080
it with a battle of the bands. And you're gonna love this. I

160
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:13.000
get you ready for this. I've
said this all along. I think we

161
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.399
should get rid of American presidential elections
and just have a wall of death,

162
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:26.159
a wall of a wall of death, and the winner of the wall of

163
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:33.679
death becomes president of the United States, we could start a petition. Let's

164
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.679
do it. I know, right, listen, we couldn't be much worse

165
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:48.480
off in that respect. No,
I agree with that, So tell everybody

166
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.279

167
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.840

00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.080

183
00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.000
We had the privilege of doing a
couple of shows with Peyton Parrish just

184
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.559
to test out the album, and
the people responded amazingly well. From looking

185
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.080
forward to going out on the road
and taking the record out to the people

186
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.320
live face to face. I love
it. I can't wait, and thanks
