Color is the vibration of people. It evokes moods, thoughts, and emotions, and acts as bookmarks in our memoirs. Raging red, envious green, mellow yellow, or true blue. Without it, the world would be an uninteresting place. Color distinguishes us from one another (cliques and sets), but it is also brings us together (culture and nations). Subliminally, it identifies where each of us stand; a visual statement that compliments our philosophies on life. Bliss is a prototype of this vibration. Her music and style is a colorful energy that relates and connects to everyone. Granted she is a bit more than distinct; from her curly hair to her tribal tattoos all the way down to her skittle toes. Yet inside her individuality, the world still gravitates towards her. Psychedelic, she is the center of all shades; her color is Bliss.Toni Burke: Tell the people what it is you do.Bliss:I am a singer, songwriter, aspiring actress, dreamer, lover and believer =) TB: Your style is very diverse, far out, and culturally aware. What are your thoughts on today’s concept of American fashion? B: Fashion is creativity; style is what we make it. I dig that people are [now] wearing whatever the hell they want. The best place to see different styles is in the streets of NYC every block is a new runway. It’s collaboration of various generations; from the 50’s to the 90’s. Personally, I don’t follow trends. I just wear what I like. Even if it is the same shit I wore three days in a row, or it is out-dated. Who cares? Rebel, rebel, anarchy. Do what you want!
TB: Which artist represents the relationship between your fashion and music? Why?B: Well…I represent my [fashion and music] style. Getting dressed is either playing dress up or putting on the first thing I see next to my bed. Style should be an individual preference not an organized perspective. I wear what I want, and what I like until I don’t like it anymore…with taste of course.TB: What influence does color have in your creative process?B: That’s an interesting question. I use color [in my art and my style] as a means to illustrate my imagination. My songs are paintings of my memories and thoughts, which are vivid and rich in color.TB: As you break into acting, how will that connect into your music & art? What statement do you want those three to say together?B: My music and art is an expression of what I think and feel. The same goes for acting. They should express a moment or a perspective.
TB: Finish this sentence: “My tattoos are…”B: …An expression of what I love and believe: my family, my tribe, and my art.TB: People focus so much on the future, lets talk about today.What is your ultimate goal for today?B: Good question. I live in the second, so in every second, [I aspire to] find peace happiness, and a lust to experience the new. *Live*Learn*Grow*Evolve* Listen to Bliss: www.myspace.com/blissalonia Download her new single, “Shooting Stars”.
