About Festive Single, ‘Jingle Man’, And Find Out What Makes This Artist Tick"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

We chat with incredible artist, Ozzie D., about her music and her inspirations.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Talk to us a little bit about your musical origins. What inspired you to start making music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When I was 3 years old, I would listen to my parents and brother singing to country songs and I would try to chime in… my mother would tell me that I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket and I would jut my jaw out, and tell her that is okay, I am going to be the hummer in the family. I continued to sing while I was working and kept writing and singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    ‘Jingle Man’ has a Rock & Roll blues kind of sound, who were your musical influences for this song?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Everyone and every situation I find inspiration just simply through living life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What motivated you to write a song about Santa Claus in this unique style?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        I have a deep sense of humor and thought I would put a twist on Old Claus’s name since folks are always seeking something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What was your writing process like for this song?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          As I mentioned in a prior interview, being on the Spectrum. I interpret energy differently and more deeply than others. It usually takes me to write the song as long as it takes you to sing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          What emotions are you hoping to stir in listeners of ‘Jingle Man’? What message are you hoping to spread to others?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Hold on to your inner child and never fully grow up in order not to lose hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Do you see this song becoming part of a new holiday tradition?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              I do not assume anything, I can only hope that my songs will do well, in order for me to help the Children at St Jude’s and the Ronald McDonald House. I normally am not comfortable in crowds, but I will come out of my comfort zone in order to help these kids have a more fulfilling life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Did you face any challenges while working on this track? If so, how did you overcome them?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                When it comes to writing, there are no challenges except how the public will respond to what I am sharing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                What would you tell young, aspiring musical artists looking for advice?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  <\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Always believe in yourself and never give up because you are never too old to make dreams come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
