Styinzine.com: Hi Ariana, it’s great chatting with you again? Well tell us how your life has changed since you joined the music biz?

Ariana Stewart: Wow, where do I start?  Well first, I retained the worlds greatest publicist Jerry Doby and have had more interviews set up.  I will be opening up for the R&B group Climaxx when a new Orlando talk show called "Real Talk With Kietta" will be having a release party.  I'll also be appearing on the show at some point.  I just wrote and recorded a song that's going to be in a major motion picture.  I also was asked to screen test for the lead female character in another movie in which my music will appear.  I am working on collaboration with The Lords of The Underground.  I wrote songs that are being considered for Bad Boy Records group B5's sophomore album.  I'm collaborating with a couple of artists from the UK.  My record label has also been made a part of a 6 member network that is up for deal consideration with a major label.  The legendary Maurice "The General" Starr, who discovered, produced, promoted, and wrote all the hit songs for "New Edition" and "New Kids On the Block", has just joined my management team.  And as you now know, I was picked on BET.com's Ya Heard Segment as the hottest unsigned artist for that week.

Styinzine.com: How was the experience at BET?

Ariana Stewart: Well, it is an honor to be chosen.  Out of the thousands and thousands that they probably review, they chose me for that week.

Styinzine.com: Who has been most supportive of your career?

Ariana Stewart: I'd have to say, hands down, my mom Shannon and my father Willie.  They have been doing the hard leg work which allows me to concentrate on writing and singing good music and branching into other areas of entertainment.

Styinzine.com: What has been the best and most rewarding part of your career so far?

Ariana Stewart: There are so many things and I know there are more to come.  But, I'd have to say having my family be a part of my growth in the industry is extremely rewarding.

Styinzine.com: The Music industry is about meeting people; who has been the most incredible person you’ve met so far?

Ariana Stewart: I met a girl on myspace.com who says that my music inspired her to keep going on.  It can't be more incredible than that. That's why I think it's so important to connect with fans as people and don't forget who is getting you where you want to go.

Styinzine.com: What would you say is the most exhausting thing about what you do?

Ariana Stewart: Everything is exhausting about this business, but this business also re-energizes you when people show their appreciation for the hard work you do.

Styinzine.com: What else besides music are you currently involved in?

Ariana Stewart: I am really trying hard to do the movie thing.  I think I could be a good actress, so my management team has put an opportunity in front of me and I'm going to go after it.

Styinzine.com: Have there been any surprises along the way in the process of building your career?

Ariana Stewart: The biggest surprise has been how many people all over the world know about me right now.  I have gotten hits from everywhere on my website http://arianastewart.net/homepage.htm

Styinzine.com: If you could have one spectacular wish right now, what would it be?

Ariana Stewart: I would want the victims of Hurricane Katrina to have their lives restored to normal.

Styinzine.com: Well thanks for dropping by Stylinzine.com; before we wrap up what else should our readers know about you?

Ariana: Ariana aka The One and Only A R I is asking you to mobilize your resources and help Hurricane Katrina victims.  I plan to try and do it in a big way when I get a major label deal so ya’ll pray for me and let's make it happen. ¯
