Today We Have The Pleasure To Have This Great Artist Here On Goathead!
GH: Hey Sheva, great to have you here !
What inspired you to start writing music?
Sheva Elliot: I always say that music chose me. I started singing when I was four years old, and was writing little rhymes and melodies throughout childhood.
GH: Can you tell us more about your experience performing live at gigs and what was the most memorable experience you had?
Sheva Elliot: Every gig is different – it all depends on the audience, venue, season, etc. I’m very sensitive to the energy of a room. I’ve played live for nearly empty bars to packed venues in L.A. All of it is a necessary experience. One of my favorite shows was for my golden birthday at Hotel Café – I turned 28 on September 28th a few years ago, and that show just felt so special! A lot of love in that room.
GH: How is your process of songwriting set around?
Sheva Elliot: I wouldn’t say I have a specific process. Sometimes, I’ll just sit down to play the piano without any pressure, and a melody will start to reveal itself. Other times, I’ll get a melody or lyrics in my head and go to the piano to see what song wants to come through.
GH: What motivates you to create music and bring awareness to different situations through your songs?
Sheva Elliot: I truly believe musical creation is a mystical experience. It doesn’t all come from me, but I know I’m one of the lucky channels who gets to share it. I write in response to the world at large, or to help clarify and heal situations in my own life.
GH: Could you share some insights into your next projects?
Sheva Elliot: I have two new singles ready to be released, and am so excited about them! One is more a political ballad, the other one is a heavier rock song.
