5 Cubed Part 1 – Meet Nelli!
August 31, 2010 – 5:40 pm
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!

Steve immediately opened the floor for questions and not too many people were raising their hands. Since I had A LOT of questions, I ended up asking a ton of them and I got some incredibly inspiring information out of him! He also asked us what our goals were and offered personal advice.
Here are my two most important questions and Steve’s answers as I understood them: Read More
