Nakkia Gold is Shining Bright!

Nakkia Gold is an artist you have to tap into because she’s solid in the sense that she makes music from the heart, stays true to herself, and has a passion for her art.

I had the chance to connect with Nakkia and talk about her life, love of music, and why her future is shining bright.

M: Your voice is so melodic, do people know that you sing, or do they automatically think you’re a rapper?

NG: Yeah I get that when people first see me, I have that dominant look, they’re like she’s from LA, she’s west coast she gotta be a rapper. I’m like yeah I could rap but naw I’m coming with something different.

M: How did you know you had this gift?

As a kid, I was never influenced by anybody else, always different, didn’t fit in but always listening to music. My mom would scream at me cause I was loud. And I was a church kid, so I’m service singing then the song ends and I’m still singing so anyone in the church telling me to keep going. Then I started writing my own songs, yay!

M: Your talent is so natural, it’s doesn’t feel forced. How did develop your skills growing up? Because you grew up in South Central, tell me what that was that like?

NG: It was rough, I grew up in the center of gang turf. My family and friends from there. It was tough, I’m blessed to still be alive and have my brother and sister and some of my friends still here.

I didn’t have an outlet, at a certain time when my mother was in the hospital, we didn’t have any adult supervision. We literally lived in that house on our own cause our mother was in the hospital for a whole year. Me and my brothers and sister but what it taught us was that we had to stick together and we can make. When she got back, we really made changes.

M: How did music and arts keep you sane?

NG: Growing up I had a lot of anger issues, a lot of authority issues. Music was my outlet. I would dive into the music instead of fighting or doing something I didn’t have any business doing. I was able to voice myself. I would write it down and let my feelings out.

It was my therapy.

I would write my feeling down and create them into a poem or a song. And release it. And my mother somehow found out that I wanted a piano, she got me a piano and karaoke machine. I didn’t get in the producing but I was able to be creative.

M: How did you tap into the songwriting, cause you mentioned that you self quarantined before the quarantine and really got into it songwriting.

NG: Just being able to do something every day, and not get tired. There are so many concepts and we can say something different every day. And we’re all different and unique.

I really go off my feeling and my emotions and the emotions that I’m getting at the second.

“What did I say?” “How do I feel about this?

M: What is your process, the vibe?

You overnight delivery viagra need to take the dose once in a day before you are going to intimate with your spouse. This should not happen generico cialis on line to you as well.

NG: I go off my emotion at the moment, I mumble and write my thoughts. Then I ask myself, “How do I feel right now?”. I never pre-write what I do, I go by my feelings and I build off that. I can literally see something in the room and it gives me a concept.

M: So when did you really tap into making music and linking up with your record company. Saban Music Group. I read that it was around 2019?

NG: During the process of us writing, we were sending our songs and submitting them, and it got in the hands of who is now manager, Chris Leal. They listen to a couple of our tracks and gave us a project, and eventually, we got signed.

M: Right, so you have this cool monumental moment of getting signed, you in the process of elevating, and then this crazy thing happens, your mom passes. Talk to me about how you handle that, cause it’s like you want to be happy but you are sad at the same time?

NG: So on the anniversary date of my mom’s passing, he asked me to be on the label and be an artist. I kept getting all these signs, her birthdate. Okay, let me pay attention to a higher purpose, the universe. I’m asking God to talk to me, and he shows the signs. Like this is my time, I put on the back burner for so long, and putting other people first.

Once I had that freedom, and they let me tell my truth, I was like let’s go!

Just Give Me The Light – Nakkia Gold

M: How did you tap into “Justice”. It’s so poignant. We’re both hip-hop heads, and your song Justice is so cool and has a message but you can vibe to it you don’t really hear that sound currently.

NG: Being it’s a song about Bob Marley, it’s about peace, love, and justice. He was never derogatory, bashful in any type of way. First I had to speak in a proper type of way and talk about what’s going on now. The song is not a moment, it’s a movement. The song will never get old.

M: Marley’s message was positive but also about standing up for equality, and standing up for your rights. Had did you connect with Wiz Kalifa.

NG: A friend of mine Truly knows music he and Bootleg Kev work hand and hand. He sent Wiz the song. He sent the trackback immediately, and for me, it was an honor to get him on the record. He is an iconic person I listen to comin up, so being able to put them together.

It was major. Epic.

M: What is your vision as an artist? Your aesthetic is so unique. How do you want people to see you?

NG: Um, just being Nakkia Gold. See me as my truth, accept me, allow more acceptance of the LGBTQ community. Open more doors, be more vocal and open-minded. We go through and deal with the same things as everybody else. There’s a lot of people who are scared to live in their truth. The Brat and Queen Latifah, I looked up to them coming up because they’re true to themselves.

M: Are you excited? Have you taken a moment to take this all in?

NG: I haven’t had a chance but I do meditate. I don’t take anything for granted. I thank God every single day. Because people don’t get chances like this. I’m here to show people you can make it out of nothing. Out the mud.

I had an epiphany I told myself to write down everything I’m thankful for. I took a manila folder and crayon I wrote down everything I was thankful for. I put on my mirror. That be the first thing I’d see when I’d wake up in the morning and meditate. I put out in the atmosphere. How does feel like to be onstage? I started really praying and manifesting. And applying myself and not just having my hand out.

Once I tap in, I didn’t confirmation from nobody. I got the signs. I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing stay focused and stay strong.
