Lloyd Pest Control Artist of the Week 2 9 14 GABY APARICIO

What do you love most about playing music? What I love most about playing music is connecting with people on that higher level, and being able to be a source of inspiration for others' authenticity to shine.

What two things did you most want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be a singer and I wanted to be Madonna, lol. That's what I was striving for ;-)

Who inspired you to pursue music? Who inspired me to pursue music...hmm, I was pretty independent and didnt like to take anyone's advice back then, ha! So I guess the artists already making it were inspirations to me.

Which of your songs is most important to you? All my songs are snapshots of where I was at any particular moment, so they're all important in one form or another. But as of very recent, Best Version of Me is very dear to my heart... it's a new song i wrote after attending gratitude training and it really embodies the journey of transformation I've chosen to take. It is the perfect spring board for beginning this next chapter of my life, clear and 100% focused.

What was the first album you bought with your own money? Beastie Boys, License to Ill!! Loved mt some Paul Revere, ha!

What comes first – music or lyrics? Then what happens? A lot of times, it happens simultaneously...I come up w a melody first or I have a phrase or some words floating around in my head that I jot down. I record a lot of ideas in my car, and its usually a chorus and a verse. Then I go home and grab my guitar and create something more structured. Once I get the first draft complete, I play it every day a few times a day to see if it sticks, if I remember it or if something just sticks out and needs fixing.

What’s the one thing that listeners would never guess about you? The one thing listeners would never know about me...my first language is Spanish, didn't learn english until kindergarten.

If your fans had to write a sentence or two to describe your music, what would they write? They would say...Gabriela's music is very soothing, chill and soulful. There's a peacful, genuine vibe that eminates from her core, which reflects in her style.

Check out Gaby this Tuesday at House of Blues!

Lloyd Pest Control Artist of the Week 2 2 14 Miss Ladybug

What do you love most about playing music?  music is a freeing expression breaks barriers giving new ground to speak from the heart in ways that may be hard to express with only words

What two things did you most want to be when you grew up?  growing up I wanted to a dentist or a physical therapist only because I was too afraid to pursue music as a career

 

Who inspired you to pursue music? I feel like God breathed inspiration into my soul at a very young age and it transcends through melody .I've known my destiny my whole entire life, it was by finally facing fear that allowed me to pursue it 

 

Which of your songs is most important to you?  There's no way I can pick one because each song is like having a child.I have a love for each one in a different way 

 

What was the first album you bought with your own money? I think it was a old hip hop sister group called "out of eden"

 

What comes first – music or lyrics? Then what happens? Melodies typically come first ,but lately Lyrics have been coming with melody at the same time.Layered Voice recordings are my favorite to sketch with because it's funny to go back and hear how cheesy my beat boxing or air trumpet really sounds.

 

What’s the one thing that listeners would never guess about you?  That I secretly am planning to release an air trumpet album 

 

If your fans had to write a sentence or two to describe your music, what would they write?  If you could take the animation of Disneyland , Weird all Yanchovic's humor ,borrow Jim Henson's imagination, blend it all together while Mary j Blige takes a solo, then  stick a pair of rollerblades on it and roll into a field of daisies then it would create the one woman show mastermind of Miss Ladybug.
