INFLUENTIAL SPOTLIGHT
did not go well, and I decided to take a break from music. For the first time, I decided to travel to Toronto, Canada, and live there for a year. I obtained my first intership at G Spot Studies which is where I met many producers and artists. Toronto’s music scene brought me back. Watching other producers and artists working together just amazed me. The combination of Toronto’s unique sound and nature made me fall in love with music again. InFluential: What are your future projects? Alina: I’m working on a few singles. One of the singles, features a very special singer / songwriter from Argentina, her name is Michelle Leclercq. Our single called Small Doses and will be released on all platforms by the end of January. Working with her has brought many positive outcomes. I’m proud of how the single is sounding and I love the honesty and feeling Michelle puts into her work. I believe we make a good team and can’t wait for the world to listen to this song, because it’s fire! The second single, How does it Feel, is a very special collaboration between singer / songwriter Sandyjoe and Shai B. Both singers born and raised in Jamaica are ready to show the world their music. I wanted to work with these two very special artists, not just because of the talent they bring, but to start the year by bringing women together and to show the industry that when women work together magic can happen. InFluential: Tell us about your last single. Alina: My last single is called 10/10 by Hozay Suave and The Connect from Profits Music. It’s out on all platforms and our music video is streaming on Youtube. The song, originally in Spanish, is dedicated to all the 10/10 amazing women in the world. We released it specially on Valentine’s day. InFluential: For whom would you like to produce a song? Alina: I’d like to produce for Young Money OvO, YSL, XO, and for many more Reggaeton artists.
