Anniina Visits Section 36 Music!

Section 36 
Music has another visitor!
 Anniina is a fantastic singer whose single "Woman" is definitely one you need to check out.
 I was thrilled that she was willing to visit with us and discuss her music, future goals, and more. I’m sure you’ll enjoy everything she has to say.

So, let's see what happens when Anniina visits Section 36 Music!

I’m a big fan of your latest single, “Woman”. What can you tell me about it?

Thank you so much! “Woman” was an awkward song to release because I wrote it about having a crush on my brother's best friend, and I didn't want my brother or the friend to hear it. I think in the end the song is, however, really about the experiences and insecurities I had as a teenager and still do.


What is your favorite part about performing on stage in front of an audience?

My favorite part is probably getting any reaction out of someone, whether it’s laughing or crying. It’s cool to see songs that I’ve written do that. I’m also kind of shy so performing is like my moment to get some attention I guess haha.


You are currently attending Berklee College of Music. Why was Berklee the right choice for you?

I’m from Finland and I think it was a good way for me to move to the U.S. and start finding a music community. There’s so many people here in every kind of scene that you can imagine.


Who or what would you consider your biggest musical influences?

Adele really got me into music when I was young. In more recent years I’ve been really influenced by Holly Humberstone, Bon Iver, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Taylor Swift, Phoebe Bridgers and Boygenius, Gracie Abrams, Jensen McRae... So so many.


What would you say is your biggest challenge with your music career?

Probably having to do so many things that have nothing to do with music.


What are your immediate music goals?

Kristina Emilie
Right now I’m in a phase of just writing a lot of new songs :).

I can drfinitely relate to that challenge. How about you?  


As always, I want to thank Anniina for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview.


I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram and Spotify to make sure you don't miss a thing. 


Thanks again Anniina, and good luck reaching your goals!

Milani Rivers Visits Section 36!

Section 36 
Music has another visitor!
 Milani Rivers is an incredible singer fresh off the release of her fantastic single "In Vain".
 I was thrilled that she was willing to visit with us and discuss her music, future goals, and more. I’m sure you’ll enjoy everything she has to say.

So, let's see what happens when Milani Rivers visits Section 36 Music!

I really enjoyed your song, “In Vain”. What can you tell me about it?

“In Vain” is a piano ballad I wrote in 2021 that evolved to a confident and fiery rock song somewhere in my creative process. This song is about leaving a mark on a person’s heart and having the boldness to believe you are irreplaceable.


Do you see more studio work in your future?

There is more music coming!!! I record in my bedroom with a combination of real and played instruments. Since graduating, releasing more of my music has become a goal!


You are a graduate of Berklee College of Music. What is the biggest thing you saw Berklee do for your career?

Berklee helped me find my confidence as a musician more than anything. I used to be afraid to sing, and desire a career in just songwriting. Since meeting more musicians, I discovered my love for entertaining, live music, and event planning. Berklee was a great testing lab for self discovery within the many niches in the music industry.


Who or what would you consider your biggest musical influences?

My musical influences are mostly pop/rock artists. I listened to a lot of Selena Gomez and Avril Lavigne growing up. I have always loved seeking out music in other languages and styles that I wouldn’t naturally discover, so I think I’ve developed my sound from my favorite parts of whatever is playing at the moment.


What would you say is your biggest challenge with your music career?

My biggest challenge has been gaining the confidence to release music. I hesitated a lot in my sound and ability, but I now realize that where I am is the only place I can be. I have recently found my sound vocally and sonically, and am excited to share my magic with more music lovers!!!


What are your immediate music goals?

I am currently working on releasing another single to lead up to an EP (yay!!) that will be released in May. I’m super excited to have this project out since I have an overwhelming amount of unreleased music.

Those are great goals. I'm so excited for that new music!  


As always, I want to thank Milani for visiting with us, and for sending along the pictures to accompany the interview.


I'm sure you’ll all want to follow her and see what she has going on. I would follow her on Instagram and Spotify to make sure you don't miss a thing. 


Thanks again Milani, and good luck reaching your goals!
