...

AmeriCymru: Hi Sian and many thanks for agreeing to this interview. How would you describe your music?

Sian:  That's a hard question because I can't really compare myself to any one artist or any specific genre of music as I like to write different types of music and as I'm writing my songs I can tell when I'm about half way through the song whether it's going to be a country song or a pop song etc so overall I would just describe my music as alternative.

AmeriCymru: Recently you were 'BBC introducing Wales artist of the week'. Care to tell us a little about this experience?

Sian:  It was an amazing experience because I didn't think that my music would have such an impact and then to be chosen as artist of the week was just amazing, I couldn't be happier and more grateful to BBC Radio Wales for choosing me.

AmeriCymru: Do you perform in both Cymraeg and English?

Sian:  Yes I write and perform in both english and welsh and I have already got some of my welsh songs out there which I am lucky enough to say that they are being played regularly on BBC Radio Cymru, and if anyone is interested in looking them up they are called Tywyllwch Ddu, Hunllef, Torri and my new single which will be out on the 3,10,16 called Welai di eto. It's nice to know that people like my welsh music as well as my english music because I would like to try and get the welsh music recognised in more places.

AmeriCymru: Any plans to perform in the States?

Sian:  Currently I don't have any plans to perform in the states, at least not any time soon but I would definitely love to play in the states at some point in the future.

AmeriCymru: What is your current single. Where can people go to hear/buy your music?

Sian:  My new single Circles will be out on the 3/10/16 and it will be available to download from Horus Music, HMV digital, iTunes as well as my new welsh single Welai di eto which will be released on the same date.

AmeriCymru: What are your future recording and performance plans at the moment?

Sian:  I am currently in the process of recording my first 12 track album called Borderline which will hopefully be out sometime before Christmas and I have also got some gigs coming up which people can find out more about on my website and my other music pages such as Facebook, Reverbnation or on here.

AmeriCymru: What are your dreams and ambitions for the future?

Sian:  In the future I would definitely like to play in other places around the world and also play at bigger festivals to bigger audiences and I would also like to write music for TV and film if it's possible.

AmeriCymru: Any final message for the readers and members of AmeriCymru?

Sian:  I will let you know when album is being released and I hope that you will enjoy it and share it with family and friends. Also if you have any questions please feel free to contact me on my website or other music pages.
