Exclusive interview con Briana Lokura, 2012.

Cchwnn.

Somewhere in McAllen , Texas. Hello mi raza I am blanca blanch blanco con on the road again interviews, today our bicycle takes us to deep into the valley of south texas to meet up con a very young exciting Tejano artist, BRIANA LOKURA, so enough of that, let’s get to that interview.

Bbb; hello my dear como esta, can you please dear give me a hand of this bicycle?

 

Bl: Hello there, I'm good thank you. And of course I will.

 

BBB: first of all how young were you when you first performed in public?

Bl; 13 years old

 

BBB; has there been times that you want to just stop singing and maybe do something else?

 

Bl: No... I've never had the feeling that I want to quit but I would love to be a Dj on radio for a whole day. I think it would be fun :)

 

Bbb; I understand that you have been nominated for several Tejano music awards, tell us a little about the Tejano globe awards?

 

Bl; This year has been a great year for us. Our latest album "NUEVO HORIZONTE" has done very well. It has opened up some doors for us. I was also nominated Best New Female Artist for the year Tejano Music Awards with this album presenting the song "Te Presumo" A big thanks to Tony Vasquez for getting ,Our product in the door to for the Tejano music awards. <3 o:p="o:p" tony="tony" u="u">

I also found out I'm nominated for Best New Female Artist for this Year Tejano Glob Awards. I'm super honored and humbled by the nomination alone. To be included in these special events in recognition for our hard work is truly special and exciting!

 

Bbb; I see you have performed in some big events, can you tells about some of the most exciting ones you can remember?

 

Bl: This past year I got to go to Chicago for the first time in my life. I absolutely feel in love with Chicago! The best part of all was the people there. They welcomed us with love and kept telling us how much they enjoyed our show. That to me was awesome! They we're truly a incredible crowd and I can't wait to go back!

 

Bbb; do you have a backup band when you perform?

 

Bl; I always make sure I have my musicians ahead of time for a gig, but yes there's been the occasions when a musician can't make it all last min. Fortunately we know a lot of musicians that we can call to come jam with us.

 

BBB: how much traveling do you do and how hard has it been in your young career?

 

Bl: We do quite a bit of traveling. The music industry is not easy one to be in and it's twice as hard for a woman to make her mark in the Business. I think a lot of people don't realize that it takes a team to make one person or the group work. When you have a strong good dependable team behind you that's KEY!

 

BBB; do you plan on going to college one day and get a degree?

 

Bl: I actually went to college and graduated. I am now a licensed masseuse.

 

BBB: do you believe in vampires?

 

Bl: Um no I don't. LoL

I LOVE the movies of Twilight though and I can't wait for the last one in Nov!

 

BBB: if give the chance to speak with a group of young people wanting to get into the music business, what encouraging words would you tell them?

 

BL; I think a lot of people misconstrue the meaning of actually doing music. A lot of people think it's all about glitz and glamour when it's really not. I find being in the music business is very lonely because you can't always trust everyone and not everyone is out for your best interest. But I would say to anyone that if they truly truly loved working with music and NOT hoping to get rich or famous over night I would say to give it all and go for it! Music is therapy and good for the soul.

BBB: what is in the future for Briana?

 

BL; I'm currently working on four different projects. I have a big love for music in general and love to be involved in whatever I can. The two main projects I'm working on right now is my next tejano album and a English album. We are still in the pre production stages for my tejano album. Surprisingly the english album is moving a bit faster. The English album is a jazz, R&B soul feel. I love, love, loved Amy Winehouse, Adel, and Lilly Allen. This album is most definitely inspired by their music.

 

BBB: is the anything you would like to share with your fan base from around the world?

 

Bl; I would just like them to know that I truly appreciate with all my heart all the love and support that they've given me. It truly means everything to me!

 

BBB: well Briana I want to thank you for your time in doing this interview and now my little friend can you give me a hand on this bicycle and point towards kingsville?

 

Bl: Thank you so much for your time and why yes of course I can give you a hand I'll even give you a standing ovation LOL and I hate to break it to you sweetie but I'm really bad with directions.. Boo me! Sad face! LoL

 

BBB; well as I head north on hwy 281, I tell myself que la onda tejana is alive and well, I am triple b and have a great day.
