Come under the cherry tree Come under the cherry tree
The track opens with a massive sub bass groove, setting the scene while Sanya relaxes under a cherry tree for reflection on her life and loves, evolving her lyric into a fresh invitation to meet under that tree again.
Sister Sister
A haunting horn solo sets a sophisticated, dark, eastern-flavoured groove off under Sanya's hymn to her sisters everywhere.
For me for now For me for now
Sexy, heavy jazz grooves accompany Sanya's slow dance with a new friend. Wicked instrumental section.Let that horn take you right out there.This track is definitely one for the lovers.
After the New Year After the New Year
Sanya sings a four-line intro, in Serbian and so beautiful! sometimes we don't need to understand the words to be able to feel them...
To the bee To the bee
Early morning, world-sounding lighter type of heavy jazzer. Sanya is a daydreamer living in a real world, facing that voice in the back of her mind saying 'wake up!'

Sanya has been living in UK/ west London since January 1992. Her experiences of music range from initially writing the songs and the melodies to forming her first band "Delfini" 1996-1999 through which she kept developing her material and herself as an artist. Since then she has become a solo artist with the help of close collaboration and support from Jez Prior, who is an artist in his own right and also co-writer and co-producer of " Luna's Illusion album material. Over the last six years , Sanya has had her material released on various albums and compilations, some of which are very well known. The artist/producers Sanya has also colaborated with include "Dzihan & Kamien", Declan Flynn aka" Al-pha-x" and "Tominaga". In 2000 "Dzihan & Kamien" couchrecords.com "Freaks & Icons" album-song 11."Smile" Declan Flynn aka "Al-pha-x"-"Gravity" album-song-"blue jay"(2002) "Tominaga"-vinyl release-song-"words we say"(2004) Sanya has also written music for theatre ("A peek trough the clouds" Angel fest in 2000) and film ( film fest/"Prince's trust" short film "Scarred" in 2003) Sanya: Although I have loved music and have been singing since i can remember, my intimate relationship with music started around 12 years ago.... one evening when I was walking back from my waitressing shift, I found a broken guitar on the corner of a street. I knew it'll never play again, but I couldn't bear to leave "her" there, so I took her home with me. I started humming .. then lyrics started rolling out of my mouth as if it was very natural for me to do so. I felt charged by an unusual excitement, that only the most beautiful feeling of disbelief can produce. It was truly a magical evening, for the inspiration made herself visible to me, I am truly blessed and forever more grateful. To this day I believe that if I had chosen to see the broken guitar just as a thing that couldn't be used any more, my path would have turned out quite differently. It may have been as beautiful & exciting, but different. Looking back, that evening transformed me. I am in love with inspiration & through this mirror, each time that a song comes through me I get to understand myself & and the world around me better. It has been a journey of revelations, my sweet little broken guitar .. thank you!Have you performed in front of an audience?At any "Sanya" gig, you can expect the unexpected. This is because for Sanya, the stage is a space where nothing has to happen, yet so much always does. All she ever needs is a group of trusted musicians and off she goes, flowing effortlessly from atmospheric-jazzy-bluesy vibe all the way trough to drum n base, dub n reggae, she even touches on hip-hop, her own style of course, not to forget her beautiful poetic expression that will undoubtedly melt your heart and tickle your mind. ..." I had a dream about you, / long before we ever met. / We swam in a big blue water, / under the spell of Luna's illusion. / And the moon was so full, /so ripe, / ready to fall, / in to our mind / and in to our soul..."

Hey what it do?, this ya boy beacon from Rapskallion records, asking you to check my new tracks. I’m not gonna waste your time BSing like so many other people are doing lately on this site. Straight up, if you listen to my song “Who You Side Wit”, “Dejavu”, or “That Real Hip-Hop” and leave me a message on the message board letting me know that you actually listened to my song, (don’t just say “you gotta nice flow, check out my tracks” I ain’t stupid enough to fall for that) I will listen to your whatever song you want me to and leave you a message with honest, real feedback. I’m just looking to improve even further, and the best way for me to do that is listening to your feedback. I’m more than willing to give my opinion and feedback to you in return. So, if you’re interested, check out my site and listen to the songs: “Who You Side Wit”, “Dejavu”, or “That Real Hip-Hop” and if you leave me feedback letting me know you did, I will do the same for you. God Bless and One Love, beacon.
