This is music
artist ETZIA, one of RECYCLE ME´s amazing ambassadors! We had the chance
to meet her and interview her about her engagement in the RECYCLE ME movement. Read about her, what inspires and
motivates her!
- Who
are you and where do you live, would you like to say something about your
background and family, friends?
My name is Erica, I'm 31 years old, I'm born in New York and
have Westindian heritage.
Now I'm based in Sweden, living with my daughter and fiancé.
My friends are my extended family, most of them in the music industry.
- What
inspires you as a person and in your music?
Life inspires me, waking up to a new day, walking the
streets of Gothenburg, looking out over the harbor, participating in cultural
things, listening to my friends and other peoples’ stories. I also love Art Deco and sci-Fi.
- How
would you describe your music?
My music stems in reggae and dancehall but has a Western
flavor to it, giving it new character.
- What
motivates you as a person and as a musician?
Understanding myself and learning to let go of control
motivates me to continue doing music.
- Why
do you choose to take part in the RECYCLE ME movement about organ donation?
We have
come of an age where our technique is so developed, instead of building nuclear
and other weapons I think we should proceed to educate us in saving lives and
learning more about the human body.
- You
are now one of the ambassadors for the RECYCLE ME movement, can you describe,
tell us something about this?
As an ambassador
I hope to be a spokesperson for the voices in need, so when they're lying on
the operation table they know there is a chance they will be saved.
- You recently performed in Gothenburg, Sweden at the Culture Festival “Kulturkalaset”, can you tell us something about this event?
The event
was a kick-off for us Swedes and South Africans. Combining music and
arts is a tool we will continue to use to express the importance of rescuing
lives and staying humble to humanity.
- Is
there something you would like to change like anything in the cause of organ
donation or other movement, topics, anything the sky’s no limit?
I wish for people to be more conscious of how we choose to
spend our days on this planet, to prioritize right so that the future can be
worth longing for.
