Bella Kalolo tells us why Music Matters to her

The hardest part of creating music is needing to meet a creative deadline and not being able to switch on the creativity at all!  It can be quite frustrating.  I sit there and will it to happen! So I then go back to the drawing board, which usually has nothing on it at all!  If I end up with a verse and a chorus I’m happy, but it’s the finishing of the song that stumps me the most.  Sometimes I’ll wake from slumber and jot down songs in a flash, but it’s the somewhat forced creativity that I find a little intimidating.

My first memory of music is hearing Paper Roses by Hank Snow! There was a lot of country music being played in my household as a youngster.  I do remember performing this song especially a fair bit!  I always knew I was going to be singer.  I remember sitting my Mother down and singing her a song, and at the end of the performance I then declared that I was going to be a Singer.
