Tien

An interview by Ziyna Ember from Eliyora Entertaintment™, LLC Hi, Ziyna Ember™ here. I’m in Tien’s™ place at 186,000 Velocity Street™ to give you a glimpse into Eliyora Entertainment’s™ singer and co-composer of her own unique style she calls TropJazz™. Instead of a standard biography, I thought it would be more personal to let you get to know a bit of Tien through her own words.

Ziyna: Hi Tien, thanks for having me!

Tien: Hi Ziyna, nice to see ya! Here, have a Brazilian Lemonade.

Ziyna: Oh, love those — thanks! 
I guess that’s appropo speaking of TropJazz™!

Tien: (Laughs) Yeah. I do love adding a tropical spice into just about everything — food, drinks, life and jazz!

Ziyna: Why is that?

Tien: Blame it on the samba.

Ziyna: Samba, huh? How did that happen?

Tien: As soon as samba got into my ears, my hips — and my soul, there was no turning back! So many rhythms in one samba — take your pick! As a musician, I just started craving those rhythms, and started hearing them in my head layered on top of everything I would listen to. I don’t know if I can even dance anymore without my hips adding them in to whatever I’m dancing to! There are so many other amazing tropical rhythms, too, and the more I listen, the more I hear them all layered over the top of my mainstay favorites — jazz, funk, hip hop.

Ziyna: So — wa la — TropJazz™?
