Amahla, Corinne Bailey Rae, Tiana Major9, and Simeon Hammond Dallas discuss using music to freeze life, how much to reveal about yourself in a song, creating worlds through lyrics and crying in the studio.

Multiple Grammy-winning artist Corinne Bailey Rae's soul-rooted indie sound helped her shoot to fame in 2006 with her self-titled debut album, and she鈥檚 since collaborated with the likes of Mary J Blige, Al Green, Paul McCartney, and Stevie Wonder.

Tiana Major9 is a singer-songwriter and Grammy nominee signed to Motown Records. Her track Collide, with EarthGang, featured on the soundtrack to the film鈥楺ueen & Slim and was nominated for a Grammy. She blends influences from jazz, soul, and her Jamaican heritage.

Singer-songwriter Simeon Hammond Dallas fuses country, blues, and soul music to create her own brand of UK Americana.
