Interview with Artist Anat Porat
By Mick Michaels
Cosmick View: Hello, Anat! Welcome to The Cosmick View. Thanks for taking some time out of your day to speak with us. It's greatly appreciated.
CV: What do you feel
is the allure your music has over competing artists and bands in your genre?
What has them taking notice in your opinion?
Anat
Porat: My music is a continuation
of my heart and soul, therefore is not in actual competition to anyone else's
music. The competition is on the audience attention which is divided between
endless stimulations. Saying that I do feel that there is something soothing in
my music that can draw the listener into my musical world which reflects our
lives.
CV: Do you think
internet radio is a valuable resource as a modern mainstream outlet for both
upcoming and established artists? If so, why and if not, why not?
AP: We
live in a time where music is available everywhere all the time, and social
media gives everyone the option to broadcast themselves to the world. Some will
say that radio is no longer relevant, but I personally I love it, and I
definitely think it hasn’t lost its magic. It is still valuable for artists,
even though there are other ways to reach the audience these days. As a young
girl I’d listened to it for hours, and that was how I discovered music - new or
old. I even had my own radio show where I played music I love and hosted
musicians and other people that interested me.
CV: In your opinion,
can an artist truly be independent given an industry that relies heavily on big
budgets and massive fan appreciation?
AP: I
think there is a place for everything and everyone today. In many aspects,
independent artists have more ways of directly communicate with our audience.
CV: Tell us a little
about your current project? What can listeners expect to hear? What makes it
stand out in your opinion?
AP: My
new album “Back To New” will be released on July 28th. The album has 11
original songs with a warm folk acoustic vibe. It centers the vocals and the
acoustic guitars alongside other acoustic instruments such as Double Bass,
Viola, Piano, Glockenspiel and Percussions. One thing that stands out is the
fact that my daughter Shira, contributed her beautiful vocals to the album, and
sings with me on stage as well as in the recording studio.
CV: Music has a way
of expressing things that words sometimes seem to fail at. How has music helped
you better express yourself?
AP: Music
is a source of power. Listening to music, playing music, singing, helps me feel
better. Sometimes, the best way for me to process things is by writing a song.
It helps me clear my head from any clusters, pain or uncertainty.
CV: What do you feel
your music is saying to the world? And do you feel that message is being heard?
AP: I
feel that through my music, I send a message that it is never too late to be
who we truly are. I believe that we have to find the balance between our dreams
and aspirations and day to day life. I do feel that when I sing, and when I
perform, my voice carries these messages through.
CV: What do you
believe your greatest asset is as an artist? How have you seen that asset
benefit yourself and others?
AP: My
greatest asset is my voice...my singing voice and my inner voice. I am trying
to communicate with others and be as true and as honest as I can be.
CV: What more can
fans expect to see coming from you in the near future?
AP: I
am planning a UK tour, to bring “Back To New” on to the stage. And of course
new music will continue to come out soon after.
CV: Thanks again Anat for taking the time to share with our readers. We wish you all the best and continued success.
