An interview I did for a singer's


Avian X – Pursuing the American Dream
Avian X is someone I’ve watched for the last four years. We met at an indie conference/showcase in Connecticut. I’ve been on her mailing list for all of this time and I have admired watching a woman slowly build herself in this industry and as an artist. She’s gone from singing with her own tracks to having her own band. Her canvas and artistic tools have expanded greatly.Read More!

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” -Calvin Coolidge ................................................................................


Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere. 

-Barak Obama

ARJANWRITES.COM SHOWCASE

What a great show it was on Wednesday at Canal Room.
Such good vibe and what an amazing choice of artists it was.

AVIAN X opened the show last night, playing a potent blend of pop, rock and electronica.
She fired up the crowd in her sassy yellow-black outfit.
I had not seen Avian perform live yet, but boy, does she have a great stage presence.
Love "Dark Circles." Such a mesmerizing track.-Arjanwrites.com

We've been sort of averse to this act for a while, writing most of the tracks off as chintzy diva-pop B-sides that you'd find in 15 second bits on MTV during their soap opera-styled "shows", but our bluff has been called this time. Darkwave synth pop that only an eastern European can pull off, Avian X just completed work on a new remix from French hotness, Kolt 13 (you might remember his work on that Tigersapien electro stomper "God Knows") that's a four minute and thirteen second grower of a remix that focuses intently on the stuttered beats from the producer's chair and Natalia's icy, lusty, all-too-dangerous voice. You'll be hooked right in, webbed up and frozen.


Avian X - Dark Circles Previously from St. Petersburg, Russia but now working out of New York City comes Natalia Ivashkevitch aka Avian X. The beginning of this track instantly reminds me of Tekken Tag Tournament for the weird vocal. From here the track demonstrates the interesting darker edge that Pop music can take.


Who exactly is this Avian X? Known by here given name in some [dark] circles, Natalia Ivashkevitch is Russian born but resides in Connecticut now. She is trilingual (English, Russian and Polish), and creates dance/rock music that is inspired by Depeche Mode, Shiny Toy Guns, IAMX, Madonna, etc. My advice to you is to keep an eye and an ear out for this dynamo. 2009 is going to be very kind to Avian X.

Current mood:  accomplished
I just played a show that was supposed to bring a nice crowd. But instead we played to an almost empty room. Those few people that did stick around to hear me instead of Your Vegas on main stage [great band that I played a show with in the summer…] are HEROES. They just witnessed and now are a part of Rock 'n roll history.

See every band that is or was successful had to play to an empty room at some point.
So I am honored I had this opportunity. I am now a part of rock and roll history! Amazing. When I woke up the morning of the show I was just a singer , songwriter with hopes and expectations…and then just like that….it happened…rock 'n roll history and me are ONE :)

On top of that...you know how out of every so so situation there is something amazing comes out…I met and played this show with a sick drummer…who also happens to tour a lot with few bands one of them being Combichrist. Joe Letz. Plans of kidnapping him and stealing from that band are in works…I can't revile much more…TOP SECRET!


I decided to start bloggin again :)
I used to do it when I was working on my first CD...
remember those times? some of you must :)
well the reason for my silence is that I am recording some new songs...
and when I am working...I am focused :)
I have 9 songs...working on more :)
that's all
will update with some more things when they happen.

high five
Natalia :)

THE WALL

V1.
Do you know why is it so?
You seem to fail to break the Wall
Defeating with your hands
Trying to understand
Why can't you find a better way to bring it down
Same time same hill
There's so much truth in standing still
Dark places of your mind
Bring them back to the light
Can you hear the voice?
It's calling your name
It's your guide

CHORUS:
You should never stop cuz you make mistakes
The bigger the Wall the more it takes
To bring it down but you can bring it down

V.2
You wanted to be in control
But the power lies in letting go
Dark places of your mind
By bringing them to light
You can hear the voice
It's calling your name it's your guide


THE PROMISE OF THE SKY.


V1.
When the unity of mind and soul is gone
It rushes through my veins
Before it hits the ground
It makes me lose my sight
It breaks the promise of the sky
Trying to escape from myself
Failing every time

CHORUS:
How many tries will it take to make it right?
I pray that doubt will never cross my mind.

V2.
It feels so cold right here
Below the frozen sky
Take breaths to melt the ice
It hurts to even try
It hurts to even try
It hurts to even try

CHORUS:
How many tries will it take to make it right?
I pray that doubt will never cross my mind.




MY LIFE.

V1.
I've changed my destiny
I found out who I am
I learned to pull the strings,
I thought I never had
I stepped out into the unknown
And discovered so many things
Couldn't live the life I was shown
It had no passion...only fears

CHORUS.
I wanna live my life,just wanna live my life
I wanna scream out loud
that's how I want to live my life

V2.
I'll go all by myself
If there is no one to join
I pray for power and strength
To overcome what I can't avoid
And all unanswered questions
Are being answered on my way
When I fall I get up fast and
I take a break look up and pray


BRIDGE: Every day is another chance
To take a deep breath and to make sense
Of things that are out there, out there
Of things that are out there, out there




PLACE CALLED HOME.

1.There is a place called Home
That's where we all belong
It's such a special place
It's filled with love and grace
The Love is always there
It's present everywhere
It's watching over me
So I can be free

CHORUS:
Free in my visions
In my decisions
Now I am creating
I am celebrating
A place called HOME

2.There is a guiding star
It's in feeling who you are
It's in feeling good inside
Emotions are your guide
It's there for you to know
That you are in CONTROL
Don't get stuck in yesterday
Make your way in Today.

BRIDGE:
I felt it in my veins ooo
And I may never forget oooh
That There is nothing I can't be
No. There is nothing I can't get

3. With Each and every day
I try to find my way
but every now and then
I don't know who I am
I am reaching for the Light
To find the piece inside
I know I am not alone
On my way back HOME.

Oooooooo. Ooooooo
and it's all in my hands
and it's all in my mindnow I can be FREE
by leaving DOUBTS behind




FIERCE EXPLOSION.

V1.
Why do we fall from the sky
Lost in years of Existence
We're hurting, we're dying
How did we ever forget
We were put into motion
by a Fierce Explosion

CHORUS:
Feel the Fire
Face your Desire

V2.
You are holding the Key
Step into the Silence
to Remove your Violence
hold on to what you see
with the Eyes of your Soul
it's just something you Know.

CHORUS:
Feel the Fire
Face your Desire

Bridge:
Why do we fall from the sky
Why we're hurting, we're dying





ANOTHER NIGHT.
V1.
I am falling into another night
Another chance for me to reunite
With my desires and my regrets
Darkness spreading through, it's endless
My loneliness, my loss of words
I can't go on it's getting worse

CHORUS:
How do I get through this
Who will show me the way to the light?
I am helpless and I can't refuse it
Don't leave me alone tonight

V2.
See the sunlight and I am still awake
Wish I could give myself a break
Used to be strong just yesterday
Now I am falling down
I lost my way
So many doubts are on my mind
I need to leave them all behind

BRIDGE:
Like a butterfly
I wanna fly high in the sky
But I just get burnt by the sun
And I am falling down to the ground


DARK CIRCLES.

V.1
Dark circles left behind
It's the prison of my mind
Destroying cells, it makes me blind
All my fears are locked inside

CHORUS:
I'll find a way to break away
Sooner or later
I can make my stars shine again
Brighter and greater

V.2
Dark circles reach the skies
Stars falling- my wish dies
Prison doors are opened wide
There is nowhere I can hide

Bridge:
I will find my way to break away



SECRETS.


V1.
Secret whispers that you put in my ear
News I wish I didn't hear
It's all deception. There is no need to know the truth.
but it's something that we always do
Look how easy it is for you to criticize
Now you looking away
Afraid to meet with my eyes.

Chorus:
Ohhh we're so close you and me
I have my own secrets you see
Hidden deep inside

V2.
Secret meaning lies behind every word
unknown makes me wanting more.
Curious I am crushing into the walls that disappear
Then I am recovering the vision till it's clear
Look how easy it is for you to criticize
Now you looking away
afraid to meet with my eyes.


FEARS.
1.I am so afraid
I am so afraid of falling
Why do my fears have to be controlling
Over my soul, over my plans
Why am I so scared to miss this chance

Chorus:
All my life I was escaping from my dreams
Never really tried to turn my head and set my feet
On this ground
Where I belong where I should be
Do you believe in Destiny?
Destiny

2.How do I find
how do I find direction
that gives me all, that gives me all the protection
That I need,that I am searching for
How do I become
Stronger then before

Chorus:
All my life I was escaping from my dreams
Never really tried to turn my head and set my feet
On this ground
Where I belong where I should be
Do you believe in Destiny?
Destiny

Bridge:
My fears are taking over me
All I can hear All I can see
My fears are taking over me
All I can hear All I can see
Is my misery
