Ariah (RAO)
My name is Ariah and I'm a 16 year old from Rhode Island who dreams of becoming a well known professional singer.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I absolutely love to perform live, but I don't the chance to very often. Usually it's just for school talent shows and competitions at conventions that I go to.
At Connecticon 2008, I won Connecticon Idol and was able to sing during the Masquerade's intermission.
Your musical influences
First and foremost, my father. As a music teacher for 29 years, he was able to motivate me to keep singing and keep playing my violin. He taught me so much over the years and it is entirely because of him that I am as skilled as I am now.
What equipment do you use?
I record with a Blue Snowball USB Microphone, and for Audio Editing Programs, I use Garageband and Audacity. And if I can get my hands on a Windows, then I use Adobe Audition.
