After listening to Asia Bryant sing for only several minutes, it becomes evident that her voice is reminiscent of soul divas Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle. Her strong vocal ability and writing skills put her in a position to lead the next generation of female R & B singers. With the release of a new EP, Analog Girl X Digital World, Bryant is poised to take the industry by storm. –amir shaw
Why did you decide to name your EP Analog Girl X Digital World?
I’m a singer from the old school. When you hear my record, it sounds the same when I perform live. A lot of today’s music is auto tune or digitalized music. The album is my take on a real singer in today’s music industry.
You recently released a very provocative video for the song “Teasing Game.” What was the overall concept?
The concept of the “Teasing Game” was me recording a sexy video for my mate. It gives off this vibe as if I was teasing. I thought it was cute. But I wanted to do it tastefully because I knew my mom was going to look at it. I didn’t want to get cut [laughs].
You will be opening for Erykah Badu. How did that come about?
The show with Erykah Badu came about after DJ T-Rock from San Antonio heard my single. He really liked it and asked if I would open for Erykah Badu. Things took off from there. I will be opening for her on August 4. I’m super-excited.
What can we all expect from you in the near future?
I’m releasing more videos from the EP, doing more live shows and working on doing voice-over work. I will also be collaborating and writing for other artists. The sky is the limit. Wherever God takes me is where I will be.
