Interview w/ Pop Star @MadaiWorld on #TheSashaMarinaShow

     Madai, is the quintessential Miami Latina, born in Guantanamo, Cuba and raised in America. At the tender age of 8, she immigrated to America and began to immerse herself in American pop culture, which in result helped her learn English. A year later she began writing poems in English and Spanish, which quickly transitioned into songwriting.

Madai writes her own lyrics, which are often bilingual and based on her experiences. She has a natural ability for capturing a moment and expressing its emotion in a song. A fan of all music, she is not tied to one style, rather her songs resonate with themes and fusions mixing Gospel, Hip-Hop, R&B, Latin, Country, Dance and Pop.

Her lyrics reflect the experience of girls, living in a cross-cultural digital world. Her songs blend cultures, mixing her Americana youth experiences over strong hip-hop beats. Her music is a merging of ethnicity in the common spirit of today’s youth. She easily transitions from one culture to another, and blends these two worlds in her life and in her music. 

      Madai is not just an exceptional singer/songwriter; she is a talented dancer and actress as well. Her natural dancing ability is an outgrowth of her Cuban roots having been taught how to dance salsa and merengue by her father at a very young age. Also, she has shown her actin skills in commercials such as Kodak, Pepcy, and Doctor Pepper. 

     Madai was part of Mr. 305 Inc. record label owned by International Superstar Pitbull. At the moment she is an independent artist perusing her music and acting carrier. Currently she is promoting her new single "BLAME IT ON THE MUSIC" featuring David Rush, "IF THIS AIN'T LOVE' collaboration with Jayquan and working on her highly anticipated debut album.

    During this creative process, Madai has also had the pleasure of co-writing tracks with famed writers  and producers such as; Carrie Furman, Farah Achour, Nicki Noelle, Micah Powel, Marc Kinchen, Michelle Trumpler, Keith Morrison, Maffio Alkatras, Fito Blanko, Jumpsmokers, Drop, Daniel Sternfield and Dave Siegel, known for producing hit tracks for Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, T.I. and more!

Miami Nightlife: The Untold Story

Miami's EDM Scene

Bonjour Miami! Or as my Cuban Father would say, Que Bola?! As promised, on the last article I wrote I said I’d talk about Miami’s EDM scene but I did you one better. This week I interviewed an up-and-coming Icon in the Miami Scene known better as “Lemony” From the “Miami Beat Wave”. Here’s what he had to say!

                            

Dj Alain:

Hey Billy! Or should I say Lemony from Miami Beat Wave!! How’s your day going?

Lemony:

Lol, it's going quite well. Just eating some Arebetters.

Dj Alain:

Sounds good! So the reason why I have been trying to get in contact with you was to ask about your opinion on the EDM scene here in Miami. How would you describe it?

Lemony:

Powerful. My opinion on it, is the genre itself is very inspiring in many ways. Not only do EDM festivals bring so many positive people together, but it also changes lives. I've seen friends from high school who were hard core gang bangers grow up to be hard core ravers who wouldn't harm a soul now days. I feel like we all have very powerful voices in the EDM community and in Miami especially instead of working against each other, we should all wok with each other to express the power of our scene. The issue is so many competitions all over Miami. EDM use to be earned, you use to have to follow maps, and clues to get to a rave.. Now a days it seems as if you can walk outside your house, and there will be a rave on your front lawn lol. But the entire scene down here is great, I just wish we could all work together.

Dj Alain:

How long have you been "djing" in the Miami Club scene?

Lemony:

Well, I've been DJ'ing for coming on 3 years, but prior to DJ'ing I was an extremely hard working promoter in the club/rave scene. Mostly for underground raves.

Dj Alain:

Do you see yourself someday in the ranks of other great DJ's in the EDM scene such as Tiesto, Deadmau5, etc.

Lemony:

I've worked hard for everything I accomplished, and to be where I am today. I'm not famous, or internationally known.. Far from it.. But... I am a strong believer in following your dreams, and I will continue to do what I love, and that is to make music, and mix records. If it happens, it happens.. Everything happens for a reason. One thing's for sure.. I'll never stop doing what I love.. Till death do us part

Dj Alain:

Where could the people reading this if they wanted to party find you out during the week? Any places where you will always be at?

Lemony:

I hold bi weekly and weekly residencies at Club Cinema, The Vagabond, and Mekka. Other than that you just have to follow me on Facebook to get my up to date events. I'm constantly getting booked for one time special events. Follow me on Facebook at Facebook.com/lemonysnicks

Dj Alain:

Anything you want to say to the readers before we wrap this up?

Lemony:

We do this for you guys Miami, and if it weren't for you all we would be nothing. We will continue to support our city to the fullest, no matter where life takes us! -MiamiBeatWave

And there you have it Miami! An insight into the EDM scene in Miami by a local DJ and Producer!

On the next Article I will be reviewing a Miami party in which I’ve been apart of for almost two years, Fashionista Fridays at Mekka Miami! Till next time
