RNBCanada: Who are you and what do you do in the Canadian music industry?

Staasia Daniels: I am Staasia Daniels, a turtle on skates racing to the top. In the Canadian music industry I am a singer, a songwriter and an entertainer striving for success notoriety.


How would you describe Canada’s R&B scene?

I would describe Canada’s R&B scene to be in somewhat of a stand still. There is not a lot of progress but at the same time it hasn’t digressed in a major way. I can sum it all up with one quote. “There are too many artists and not enough supporters”


What drives you to stay in the Canadian music business that is rarely profitable and highly competitive?

What drives me to stay in the Canadian music business is not the fact that it’s rarely profitable due to the lack of outlets but there is more than just our borders to consider when one is striving to be a successful artist. I am going to be a successful artist who is proud to be Canadian born. Competition is high in anything you want to do whether it be in the entertainment business, or simply a 9-5.There’s a ton of talented musicians here, but what drives me is MUSIC alone. It’s better to try and fail than fail to try.


Who is your favorite Canadian R&B/soul singer and why?

My favorite Canadian R&B/Soul singer right now is Tamia and Shi Wisdom. I have always been a fan of Tamias’ work over the years. Her voice is extremely soothing, warm and her music still bumps to this day. Shi is an incredible vocalist that I have grown to admire after hearing her perform many times.


What is your favourite Canadian R&B/soul song?

I’d have to say that “Stranger In My House” by Tamia & “My First Night With You” by Deborah Cox are my favorite R&B/soul songs.


Which artists have you worked with that left an impression on you and why?

OShauN who is a rapper, he’s my team mate from GSXMusic. He is a part of why Staasia Daniels is who she is, he’s helped me realize that I can do many things with my voice that I was afraid to do, and that it’s okay to really ‘be me’. The impression he leaves with me after working with him all day can’t be summed up in one sentence. Tamara Madison my bff has always told me “If you don’t believe in yourself, you can’t expect anyone else to” and that 100% truth that I know applies to her as well .Owen O’sound has helped me on numerous occasions with vocal lessons, and he’s just awesome over all. Haley Small’s passion, her drive, working with her has left a good impression on me as well.


Which Canadian artist would you most like to collaborate with?

I’d like to collaborate with Luu Breeze.


Tell us about past and present successes people would know you for.

Honestly, I am a rookie in this R&B scene. I have only been doing this for a year and some change. Although some may know me for my original “11 O’clock” and the covers I have done, 2013 will depict my smart work paying off, gaining more fans, more recognition for my craft and more success.


What do you have planned next?

Next and onward I will continue to release videos for, originals and covers, I have a few shows that I will be performing at in the new year, not to mention our own GSXMusic showcase. My EP “A Turtle On Skates” will be released and I should be traveling a lot more.


Anything you’d like to add?

Never underestimate a turtle who can skate. Be sure to check out OShauN who will be releasing his Everything(O) Mixtape, and the “ Odition” album, LOTS of videos to come.

Toronto, ON – GSX Music presents Toronto native Oshaun‘s first single off his forthcoming album Everything O. In music knowledge, overture is the term originally applied to the instrumental introduction to an opera. Produced by in-house producer Xpress, Ovature (stylized from Overture) is bass heavy, orchestrated madness that is built to rumble car speakers and club walls everywhere. Standing on its own, the record takes us into Oshaun’s mind, boasting a balance of lyrical prowess and giving listeners a glimpse of his satire. So sit back, relax and watch the curtains unfurl to witness his “Ovature” begin. - MINIGOTCHU
