ION: WHAT CAN YOUR FANS
EXPECT FROM YOUR UPCOMING
ALBUM “BELIEVE”?
SYA: I know they are going to love it. The
album was produced and developed for my
fans who love to dance and have a good
time. Most of the songs on the album are
very sassy and upbeat. But one song in
particular was produced to inspire my fans,
which is the the song “Believe”. I wanted to
give my fans and listeners a song that will
allowed them to pick themselves back up if
ION: WHAT’S YOUR CONNECTION
WITH THE GAY COMMUNITY?
SYA: It’s been a big part of me since I
started in the entertainment industry. I
have lot’s of close friends who are gay. I
have been in the entertainment industry
for over 10 years and I have had so many
great experiences! The honest truth is
that I depend on my close gay friends for
fashion, dance, music and style advice! The
community has treated me with love and
respect and very appreciative towards my
music and presentations. We always have a
great time together.
ION: WHAT CAN THE AUDIENCE
EXPECT TO SEE IN YOUR SHOW?
SYA: Lot’s of energy and “ATTITUDE”
with my live vocals! I like to do a lot of
audience participation, so my audience can
be a part of my show. Positive and happy
synergy is what I like portray for my fans
and audience. I also have a professional
dance background, so I always have
choreography included in my performances.
Always have to make it rock don’t stop!!!
ION: ARE THERE ANY ARTIST YOU
WOULD LIKE TO COLLABERATE
WITH?
SYA: It such a wide range question, but
right now David Guetta, Pit Bull and Will I
Am, will be a dream collaboration. But also
because of my Latin background and future
Salsa album, I would love to work with Marc
Anthony. I believe that our vocal dynamics
will blend in very nicely in a song. I have
been getting a lot of request on a Latin
Salsa album so right now we are working
with a few Latin producers.
ION: I’VE SEEN THAT YOU OPEN
UP FOR A LOT OF GREAT ARTIST,
WHICH ONE IS MOST MEMORABLE?
SYA: I have to say Tito Rojas, when I
performed at the 3rd Annual Arizona
Salsa Festival sponsored by azsalsa.net!
Because he is a legend in Salsa music, my
parents grew up in Puerto Rico listening to
him. So it was an honor for me to be on the
same stage of an icon. The energy of the
audience was amazing, the best part of it all
was meeting Tito Rojas and manager back
stage and them calling me “Celia Cruz” who
is the Queen of Salsa, may her soul rest in
peace. It was a very humbling and heart
warming experience.
ION: SO, WHATS NEXT FOR SYA?
SYA: My goal is to release two albums this
year! One will be “Believe” which is my
dance electro- pop album and my other one
will be my Spanish Salsa album. But most
importantly generate good music to make
people happy! I have a mission in my life to
spread love, peace and happiness.
