Q: We read this about you: "Complex and cerebral, Rhian's music is simultaneously warm and soulful, empathetic and ethereal." Reading this from your side of the screen, what is your take on this? Your music does come original, and it's just quite lovely! How much of a hand have you had in the production and presentation of your materials (from website, to recording/finished product)?

Rhian: Thank you for the compliment on the music. It is a bit strange reading such lavish descriptions about myself and what I do, I used to feel it was immodest to accept it as truth. On the other hand, I have done shows where people have come up to thank me afterward with a startled look in their eyes; I moved them. You see I understood the power that music has over me, but I didn't yet understand how deeply my music could affect others. It is very humbling to see people willingly receiving the message that I work hard to deliver, and when it happens it really is a "complex, cerebral.....ethereal" experience for all of us.

I am fortunate to be signed to a label that allows me to have full creative input into everything that goes on regarding my project. I remember when we were trying to choose a font for my name, we were faxing ideas back and forth for days until we came to a mutual agreement! I am fully involved in all decisions and couldn't be happier about it!

Q: Any ideas for videos in the works?

Rhian: Because the songs are still 'works-in-progress' we have not decided which will be the first video! However, we have it narrowed down to two songs and we will be making the decision in the next two weeks. I have a wild imagination so I've already started doing treatments in my head, I'm really looking forward to this part of the project. We have already made contact with a few established music video directors and we are aiming to start shooting in January.

Q: You had mentioned (on the site) that music is a healing process for you, and for others. Can you expand on that a bit?

Rhian: Music is so powerful. I can't tell you how many times I have put on a record, shut the door and just listened to keep sane! All those records helped to heal and empower me at times when I needed it most. My songwriting has become my muse, my outlet and my healer simultaneously. I hope that I will be able to give others the same experience by stimulating, provoking and soothing through my music.
