Diandra\u00a0Adamczyk:<\/strong>\u00a0What do you miss most about performing live for an audience?<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geibral\u00a0Elisha:<\/strong>\u00a0The thing I miss most about playing in front of a live audience is the energy you get from the engagement of the audience.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a unique level of bliss,\u00a0and it\u2019s a rush at the same time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DA:<\/strong>\u00a0How\u2019ve you been keeping inspired as of recently?<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GE:\u00a0<\/strong>I\u2019ve\u00a0been inspired through meditation.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a different type of music, but I think that\u2019s what makes music evolve\u2014taking advantage of the situations that arise by making the most of them.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DA:\u00a0<\/strong>What kind of things are you and G.E.M. working on these days?\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GE:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Right\u00a0now,\u00a0we\u2019re all just enjoying our time with our families.\u00a0We\u2019ve\u00a0been in touch,\u00a0and we check in on each other. I have been spending this time being present with my family.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DA:\u00a0<\/strong>What are some aspects of the local jazz\/art scene that you look forward to getting back to?<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GE:<\/strong>\u00a0I look forward to seeing the people\u00a0mingle and\u00a0go out to First Friday. Phoenix had a\u00a0really solid\u00a0community in terms of the arts and music.\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0looking forward to seeing everyone out having a good time.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0what makes us human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
