One on One with Funky Music Artist Laura Cheadle

Q. Did you have any personal struggles that took your life on a certain course?

A. Absolutely. There was always a struggle with identity and who I truly am. Since I have become nothing but myself, I have had more success than ever.

Q. How do you feel about yoga and meditation? It is a growing phenomenon. I know you engage in it often. Many say their schedules do not permit, but it is so vital to find time for ourselves in today’s society. Where and how do you find the time with your busy schedule?

A. I meditate every single morning no matter where I am. I think it is crucial to the soul. It took many years to be able to quiet my mind. My new song ‘Be Myself’ off my upcoming CD ‘What’s It All About’ was written while I was meditating. I just got into yoga and I’m hooked!

Q. Do you find that yoga and meditation help you with your music?

A. Absolutely. Especially with my new album! It helps me write and be in tune with my spirit.

Q. Who is an inspiration in your life and where you find motivation to keep striving towards your goal and not give up? Some find it hard to do these days.

A. My father inspires me every single day. He is the most hardworking musician I have ever met and really hones his craft as a piano player and producer.

Q. Do you have any advice for young singers who want to break into the business?
