Divas Don’t Apologize
Apr 1, 2012 Legends, Stars with a Pen, Today's Stars
On Saturday March 31, Diana Broomfield had the pleasure of speaking to Aziza and sharing a taste of her wonderful music with the audience.
Aziza (formerly known as Linda Williams) is a breath of fresh air. She is a song writer, composer, arranger, singer and all around wonderful person who is definitely a true Diva with no apology needed. She worked with Natalie Cole traveling the world and making beautiful music until she decided to do her own thing. She talks candidly about the business, record labels, being independent and pros and cons of both. She also offers advice to those who might be considering getting into the music business.
Aziza currently makes her home in New York, but continues to perform all over the globe. She has promised to keep us abreast of her shows so those in that area can support her.
Please listen to the interview and then visit her website, like her Facebook page and buy the music from your favorite download site including but not limited to CDBaby and Rhapsody, and Itunes.
