MAS: Congratualations on your winning music video ‘Kiss’! How does it feel to take home the win and the $100 cash?
Connekt: I am really excited that I won this month’s contest! Not so long ago I was a stay at home mom working on her style alone in her studio, so winning that contest really is great!

MAS: How did the concept for the music video come together?
Connekt: Last December, I was finishing up the mixing of Kiss and was still searching for a stage name. Plus I knew I wanted to produce a music video to help promote myself online and my friends kept telling me "You are so lucky to have the talent to express your emotions through music, I wish I could do it too". So I thought that it would be great if someone would invent a computer that could connect to your feelings and create a song and maybe a video of how you feel. Like a futuristic personal jukebox. That’s basically how it all started. I actually did a “making-of” the video that explains how we did the video shoot and post-production at home. You can watch it on Youtube:

MAS: What sets you apart from other artists in your genre?
Connekt: I don’t compare myself too much. I love to do pop/electronic music without falling in the usual sets of beats you hear all the time on the radio. Plus I think I’ve got a vibe of my own. To my understanding, we all have different kinds of lives and inspirations that help us create our music. I am still very new to that industry and I am just hoping that many people will feel attracted to what I do, so I can keep doing it.
MAS: What are you or your musical plans for the year ahead?
Connekt: At the moment I am working hard at finishing up a few other songs that follow the same genre as Kiss, to put on a demo and go on the hunt for a record deal. I am also trying to reach for other artists who are in need of good original songs. I might also have a new idea for a second music video for my next release. We will see how it goes. Wish me luck!
MAS: We do wish you luck, though it seems you hardly need it. =)
