Living Awake- "Daring to Dream" with Estelle

I AM CANADIAN.
I HAVE CARIBBEAN HERITAGE.
Musically, I have always made it a point to incorporate my multicultural make up in my music. I have never seen myself as one thing.... and its truly been a struggle at times to get others to understand my vision.
So when I was introduced to Grammy Award Winning UK Singer Songwriter (now....Friend) Estelle, we immediately bonded over our musical and personal journey's of breaking borders and stereotypes.
Not to mention our love of reggae music!
The road to international success in music isn't only paved with #1 records and awards.... it takes a lot of hard work, long nights, and personal sacrifice. It was so great to sit with my girl Estelle, and get a deeper understanding of her journey.
Enjoy!j
May you be inspired,
MF

I’m so grateful for these gems... as a song writer I feared these same issues and decided to still push through.

Love the interview! It's very inspiring for artists today and a lot of us who deal with all forms of issues. It feels good to hear it from artists who have been there. Thank you Melanie 🤗 stay awesome and blessed!

I remember being 9, screaming “Give It To Me Right” in my living room when it first released on Centric. Ever since then I’ve been a huge fan. Now this?!?!?! If I was more into social media, I would’ve discovered this page a hell of a lot earlier. Keep moving mountains. ❤️

I'm so glad you both made the effort because we really needed it out here, well I did. Both of your songs/albums were monumental and lovely for my upbringing and what I listen to now and how I find other artists and genres. This was a wonderful interview, I had no clue it was such a challenge.

We are the Crystal Gems we'll always save the day and if you think we can't we'll always find a way that's why the people of this world believe in GARNET Amethyst and Pearl.
