Interview: Mary Keey Shares Insights on Her Musical Journey

Mary Keey joins us again to discuss his music, her inspirations, and what we can expect from her in the future! Make sure to check out our interview below:

What does music mean to you?

Music is my way of expressing my feelings whereas sometimes I might be a bit more silent rather than a talker that’s why I like to express myself in the shape of music.

What does your music say about you or what message do you try to push through your music?

This song is my way of getting the people together and have a good time which is something that lately people haven’t been able to do and this song is supposed to be a way of getting that feeling of hanging out and enjoying time together should bring back.

Was there anyone or anything in particular that pushed you to pursue music?

Actually, I started by myself when I was 14 years old to write my own lyrics. Of course, I have no idea what I was doing but I always knew that I want to do music. But I always knew that I want to do music and I suggest to anybody out there to do the same your music is your voice, and nobody should keep you from using your voice and expressing your voice.

When you’re writing a song, how do you know when you have an idea worth pursuing?

There is something about the way when I start writing lyrics and they just start to flow when they all fit together that’s when you know that song is going to work. Of course there are some moments where you just stop and you don’t know what you could keep on doing or just nothing happens and that’s the moment where are you best take a break think about something else and then try again if there is still nothing happens probably means you’ve got a move on.

Do you put a lot of pressure on yourself?

Actually yes I always put a lot of pressure on myself I always wanna perform my best. And still want to be in control of every aspect of my career which means that I am essentially doing many many things per day which sometimes then results in too much. Lucky you have a good team but sometimes tells me oh you got a slowdown.

Biggest lesson learned in your career so far?

Don’t wait anybody. The music business is full of people that are trying to tell you what I should do when you should do what and if you’re good enough for something or the other thing which led me to wait for a long long time and throw away many opportunities. When I started really recording my songs I have really bad asthma and I have to take tons of medicines which made me sound very nasal of times and through the combination of medicines sometimes my voice also got pitchy. Those songs could’ve been very well released because they always had a message to it they always came deep from my heart and at the end of it all I think that’s what makes a great song. And sometimes it just takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there so don’t be afraid.

For our final question, is there anything else you would like to add?

Just go for it. Whatever you wanna achieve just go for it you’re always going to be a work in progress and you’re always able to improve but if you never try you never get there.
