Interview with Singer Songwriter & Sound Designer Karima Walker
Today on the Living as a Musician Podcast I’m talking to my dear friend singer songwriter and sound designer Karima Walker.
In today’s interview we talk about
- How her Catholic upbringing influenced her early relationship with music
- How her birth-mother being a singer created a complicated relationship between Karima and her singing-voice in her early years, and how she came to respect the path her birth-mother chose as a singer in the diva lineage
- How a Martin parlor guitar that had been tucked away in a closet for years changed her life
- What her process was like creating her critically-acclaimed album Waking the Dreaming Body
We also talk about...
- Balancing collaborating with other musicians and “holding the reins” as a producer
- How Karima makes her video projections that accompany her live performances
- Why it’s important to pay attention desire, resonance and enjoyment as an artist–and the power of trusting what you’re drawn to
“What you pay attention to, what resonates with you, and what you’re interested in–that is often telling you something about yourself just as much as it’s telling you something about what you’re seeing out in the world. Those resonances are things that are alive in you that if you want you can cultivate and you can create space for–simply by spending more time in them.” –Karima Walker

P.S. Have you ever thought of creating videos or projections to accompany your work? Here’s Karima’s best advice for you: “Notice what you enjoy and push into that with none of the guilt or shame. And then trust that what you’re noticing is a form of composition. What you’re drawn to is you shaping your world in a way that your brain and your eyes and your mind are creating in real time.”
Your Artistic Lifecycle: A Free Workshop julialucille.com/lifecycle
In this workshop we're going to unpack the artist's lifecycle, from birth to death. From childhood, to the artistic initiation phase, training, and finally into domain manipulation, creating your body of work and submitting it to the greater culture in the hopes of making a meaningful cultural contribution. Along the way we'll tackle what makes a person a "real artist" (the answer might surprise you) and how artists who succeed in making a cultural contribution live their lives out.
Once you have a roadmap...
1) You know where you are on it
2) You have clarity about what to focus on right now
3) You know where you're headed next
