He\u2019d play a rhythm and I\u2019d play it back, which gave me my love of drums. I still always start any song I write with the beat. Then at school I sang in every musical, sang and played percussion in bands and acted in every play \u2013 playing Peter Pan at 11 was when I knew that I wanted to be on stage forever!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve got an interestingly rich heritage. Has this inspired your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course it has. It has meant that there have been no borders to the music I\u2019ve grown up listening to. As well as rock, pop, blues, motown, jazz etc&#8230;I was also getting into Gnawa and Malian music &#8211; artists like Ali Farka Toure and Salif Keita, and the haunting sounds of Classical Arabic music and Bulgarian choirs.<\/p>\n<p>My father comes from Algeria, which I\u2019ve not been to since I was very young and I often visit in my mind through my music. \u2018Banana Tree\u2019 for example is set in my Grandmother&#8217;s garden and the song is about something very sad that happened there.\u00a0I have family from Italy and Norway too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What sort of thing were you listening to whilst you were growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would sit and listen to records with my father when I was very young. He\u2019d play me everything from Jethro Tull to David Bowie and Nina Simone and Billie Holiday to Prince. At the age of 8 he had me singing along to Patti Smith &#8211; &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xxygqSTO1lQ\">Jesus died for somebody\u2019s sins but not mine<\/a>&#8221; \u2013 it made me want to write music and the story that goes with it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve been collaborating with some London-based Algerian musicians. Will the album be very diverse in sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, that was always an influence I wanted to bring into my album and its one of many. Expect to hear more off beat rhythms, unusual instruments from around the world and soaring vocals. I\u2019ve just written a song with Baaba Maal and my friend <a href=\"www.wonderlandmagazine.com\/2012\/10\/new-noise-seye\/\">Seye<\/a>, which will be out early this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who inspires your style?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My impeccable Norwegian grandmother: always tailored with a twist \u2013 Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday \u2013 and the drama and flamboyance of matadors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What fashion designers and other musicians are you championing at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Katie Eary, Finchittida Finch, Soropol, Corrie Nielsen and I love Dolce and Gabbana and Moschino\u2019s latest collections. I\u2019d wear them everyday if I could.\u00a0I love a singer from Brooklyn called Doe Poaro \u2013 we\u2019ve been chatting online, I\u2019m looking forward to meeting her. I\u2019m also a big fan of TNGHT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could collaborate with any other musician, who would be your first choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hans Zimmer. Hands down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;re also a keen artist too and make all of your artwork? Was art another career option?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a lot of creative energy, sometimes I like to put that down on canvas but at the moment I&#8217;m pouring all my energy into making music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yadiyadiyadi.com\/\">www.yadiyadiyadi.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Words: Shane Hawkins<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musical chameleon Yadi is cleverly creating her own pop-genre in 2013.\u00a0With her diverse and impressively eclectic range of influences, the singer&#8217;s rich heritage and angelic vocals defy your expectations.\u00a0Wonderland premiere her brand new single &#8216;The Blow &#8216;, produced by studio maestro Ariel Rechtshaid (Sky Feirrera, Charli XCX).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":13107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9419,9413],"tags":[6899,3486],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>PREMIERE: Yadi - &quot;The Blow&quot;
