Let’s get to the interview! Here are our questions answered. Also we are doing a giveaway as we do with each interview. Check that out at the bottom. Here is our interview with the beautiful and talented, Sabrina Lentini.

You have written quite a few songs and spent some time on the road. What advice would you give your past self?

If I were to give my past self some advice, I would say to always trust my creative instincts and to always believe in myself. I’ve been singing since I was 5 and writing since I was 9, so I’ve gone through so many changes as a person and an artist. I’ve grown so much, and I’m still always growing. I would remind myself that there is no rush and that time and hard work are key to becoming more and more experienced. I truly believe that I am where I’m supposed to be right now, and I’m very excited  for what’s to come.

You have been writing since a pretty young age. What is your favorite song you have written and how did that song come to be?

Oh wow.. This question is very difficult to answer, because I have a few favorite originals to perform. Usually my most recently written song pushes its way to the top of the list. However, I would say that “Dorothy Gale” is the most special song to me. It pays homage to my favorite childhood movie, The Wizard of Oz, which brings me back to the beautiful memories I have from growing up, spending time at my grandma’s house, playing in the backyard, blowing bubbles, getting lost in my own imagination, singing and dancing– doing all of which with my very own Toto, my dog Zorro, almost always by my side. Filming the music video made my childhood dreams come true and made the song come to life, especially getting to wear my ruby slippers that my mom made for me. The whole process of bringing the song to life, from writing with wonderful co-writers to recording to filming the video, was very magical and emotional.

What inspires you and how do you use it in your everyday life?

I’ve been blessed with parents who have supported me every single step of the way, and their belief in me is what inspires me to keep pushing toward my dreams.

What is your biggest fear?

My biggest fear is not living life to the fullest and not taking in every moment before it passes. I’ve always been a very deep thinker (almost too much for my own good, haha!), and sometimes that gets in the way of living in the now and soaking up every detail, big or small.

We are always developing recipes here at Southern Fellow. When writing music what recipe do you use?

My songwriting recipe usually starts with a melody and a few lyrics that pop into my head, then if I don’t have my guitar already in my hands, I run and grab it and start playing around with chord progressions that fit. Sometimes I start with a verse, and sometimes the hook comes to me first. I also love to co-write. In co-writes, I love to start getting to know who I’m writing with by just talking and joking around a little bit because writing should be fun. Songwriting sessions are always best when some laughing is involved.
