Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with SIRA
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
One of my earliest musical memories comes from sound itself — water, wind, movement. I remember sensing music as something alive, something that moves through the body.
Alongside that, my parents shaped my listening. My mother would listen to classical and cinematic music, while my father would play The Rolling Stones.
Growing up between these worlds created a sense of balance in me — between nature and structure, emotion and energy.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
It came naturally. I wrote my first piece of poetry when I was around four or five years old — I called it Butterfly. From there, I continued writing more and more.
Over time, those words began to find their way into sound, and that’s how music emerged.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
Past, present and future — the momentum of time and space.
My work lives within that flow, connecting different moments into a single experience.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
I would describe it as emotional and cinematic, with a strong connection between voice, space and atmosphere. It’s minimal in structure but rich in meaning — somewhere between music, movement and visual storytelling.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
Just to be your self.
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
My voice is the starting point.
Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?
From the indie music network, I recently really enjoyed “Jodler” by Alpkan. There’s something unique in the way it blends elements and creates atmosphere — it really caught my attention.
How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
My personal experiences influence my music deeply. The way I live, feel and move through life becomes part of the sound.
Live life with intensity and just keep walking.
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
Music moves hearts because it speaks beyond words.
It connects directly with emotion, with memory, with something deeper that we don’t always see but we can feel.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
Over the years, I’ve had very different experiences within the music industry, and yes — it can be challenging. I’ve learned to stay strong, to find balance, and not to change the way I create, because that’s where my essence lives.
What I’ve understood is that, whatever happens, you have to keep moving forward. The industry can sometimes lose its centre — commercially, creatively, and even around identity. I’ve experienced moments where my work and identity were not clearly respected, and that can be difficult.
But these experiences also bring clarity. They remind you to protect your voice, your work, and who you are.
In the end, not losing your essence is the most important thing.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
My dream venue would be a space where energy just flows — where music, people and atmosphere come together naturally.
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
I would have loved to collaborate with Ennio Morricone. There’s something in his compositions — the emotion, the space, the storytelling — that deeply resonates with me.
Where can our listeners follow and support your music? (Website,Spotify, IG, links)
Listeners can support my music through selected physical record shops and on iTunes, where my work is currently available and verified.
Looking toward the future, what’s your dream for the next chapter of your musical journey?
Looking ahead, my dream for the next chapter is to have more time to devote to music, and to continue expanding my work — much like my alternative medicine practice — without territorial limitations.
What do you hope listeners will discover about you along the way?
I hope listeners will discover my music clearly — without misattribution or confusion — so they can find it easily and experience it as it’s meant to be. That would make me very happy.
I also hope to see more transparency within the music industry, so artists and audiences can connect in a more honest way.
