Welcome to the first installment of my series, 5 Cubed: 5 Incoming Students, 5 Days, 5 Questions! This week, I chatted with the lovely and talented vocalist, Nelli. Take a look!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Identification:
Name?
Nelli Saarikoski
Where are you from?
Helsinki, Finland
What’s your instrument?
Voice
Serious Question:
When did you have that defining moment when you knew you wanted to pursue music as more than a hobby, but a career?
Well, it was 1998. I was in Sound of Music the musical in Finland and I played one of the Van Trapp kids, if you know the musical. So that was the moment for me. I knew that this is what I want to do, maybe on the stage like as a musical actress or just singing. But then I knew.
Silly Question:
What’s your favorite guilty pleasure song, artist or album? Something that you really like but wouldn’t necessarily want the faculty to know you enjoy?
That’s a hard one. Let me see….. I think that Beyonce’s Deja Vu is kind of my secret song.
So, if you see Nelli this week, please say hi! Also, remember - I keep the questions brief & easy, as you can see. So if you see me this week & I ask you if I can interview & photograph you for Berklee-Blogs, don’t be alarmed. The process is quick and painless – I promise!
