Formula Indie Sessions : Interview with the Sheila

What is your earliest memory connected to music?

My earliest memory is feeling music before I even understood it. It has always felt like home to me, like a temple where I could find my peace.

How did your passion for creating music begin?

It started naturally. Writing and singing became my way of expressing the things I couldn’t say out loud.

What’s the story behind your current music project?

This project is about love, distance, and connections that never truly end.

How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?

It’s a mix of emotional sounds, always carried by Latin and Afro deep house rhythms.

What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?

I learned that simplicity is more powerful than perfection.

What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?

My voice, my phone for recording ideas, and my producer, who is always with me, whether in the studio or online when inspiration comes.

Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?

I’m constantly discovering new artists, especially in the Latin and Afro scene.

How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?

Everything I create comes from what I feel, from real emotions. My life itself is my biggest inspiration.

What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?

I want them to feel understood and emotionally connected.

What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?

Music has taught me to be honest with myself and to express every feeling I carry inside.

What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?

Performing at the Super Bowl or Coachella would be a dream.

If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?

The Weeknd. He’s an artist I connect with and listen to in every season, at any time.

Where can our listeners follow and support your music?

You can find me on Instagram, Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, and all music platforms.

Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?

My dream is to break through internationally as an artist.

What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
