Tell Us About Yourself?

I am Esther Osakwe, AKA with a stage name LadyE. I am an award-winning gospel artist and the founder and CEO of the Lady E Foundation. 

What Made You Want To Become A Musician?

Music has always been a passion for me from a very early age. I started singing at the age of 4. It’s how I developed a deep passion for music and grew up as a musician.

What Accomplishments Do You See Yourself Achieving In The Next 5 To 10 Years?

I am incredibly passionate about my future goals. As for my future goals, I have not mentioned an endpoint since stating an endpoint is like restricting yourself from going far behind it. Being a self-believer, I am working hard to make my every year much productive and successful than the previous. So in the next five to ten years I see myself achieving more than the Oscars awards.

Do You Have Any Hobbies Or Interests Outside Of Music? 

I am a fashionista. I love fashion and try new styling techniques that make me feel more gorgeous. Apart from this, I also love to work out to stay healthy and fit. Furthermore, I do not consider myself a philanthropist, but I love helping people. I try to provide them relief as much as I can, which makes me feel wonderful and blessed.

What Strengths Do You Have That You Believe Make You A Great Musician? 

God is the alter and finisher of my faith; he is the one who strengthens me through prayer. 

Do You Have Any Weaknesses That You’re Actively Working To Improve On? 

No, not at all! Whenever you believe in God and pray for that, I don’t think you have any weaknesses left. My philosophy has always been to work hard for what I have done. So trust me, when you strive to achieve your best in any area, winning or losing is always your strength, never your weakness. Isn’t it?

Which Instrument Is Your Favorite To Play And Why?

I love everything about music. But when it comes to my favorite instrument, I love to play the piano. For me, it’s the most versatile and best instrument to learn and play. 

What Is It About Music That Makes You Feel Passionate?

 For me, music is everything. I praise music in a way it deserves to be. I think everyone can express himself easily through music and sometimes it is a good to express what words cannot. But for me, the best and most important part about music is that God loves the music and inhabits the praises of his people.

What Inspired You To Start Playing And Making Music? 

I think God gifted me this skill, and thus here I am, a musician who is trying to conquer the world by music.

Who’s Your Ideal Musician To Collaborate With, And Why? 

Umm! There are many names, and it’s hard to list them all. However, here are a few musicians that I’d love to collaborate with 

  • Mercy Chinwo
  • Sinach
  • Kevin Adams
  • Ada

Are There Any Musicians Who Inspire You? What Qualities Do You Admire About Them? 

Yes! Mercy Chinwo inspires me a lot. I love her passion, music style, and the energy she put into her music videos. She is a very talented young lady who has many accomplishments. Besides Mercy Chinwo, my other music industry inspirations are Sinach, Kevin Adams, and Ada.

Tell Me About Your Favorite Performance In Your Career?

Easy question! Although I love my every performance, but my favorite performance was at the award ceremony. It gave me a lot of exposure and was an excellent experience for me. This was the most beautiful moment of my life, a moment I will never forget.

How To Develop Your Creative Manifesto And Follow It In Art? https://fashionuer.com/how-to-develop-your-creative-manifesto-and-follow-it-in-art/ Fri, 16 Jun 2023 05:59:14 +0000 https://fashionuer.com/?p=33508 Alexandra Stepanova, a musician (Blind Mutation), talks on creative and moral-ethical manifestos.

Alexandra Stepanova (Blind Mutation) recently released a successful single “Shadows” and a music video for it. Her track received such prestigious awards as Indie online film award, EUROPE MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS and Music Video Awards. In this interview, she tells us about her creative manifesto.

Alexandra, as a creative person and a young performer, what, in your opinion, are the most effective ways to convey your message to the listener?

Firstly, you need to be able to be in touch with your feelings and recognize them in order to carry your message all the way through to the listener.

Secondly, you need to be aware of the technical side of creating music or a video. It’s important to know the basics of the field you work in. For example, in case of creating a music video, it’s useful to understand the basics of filmmaking, storytelling and producing. And in case of producing music, certainly, it is beneficial to be fluent in using DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) or to be able to play an instrument.

How do you feel about the listeners who like your song but do not understand its meaning and pay attention only to what’s on the surface?

Firstly, I would like to thank you if you listen to my songs. And, even though someone doesn’t understand the meaning of the music I make, I do not see anything wrong with that because everybody has different perception of our world. Actually, I always strive to implement unusual and thought-provoking ideas even in those elements of my tracks that appear to be on the surface.

How would you describe your manifesto that runs through your art?

I want people, when listening to my music or watching my videos, to explore their hidden emotions that lie very deep inside them and which they hesitate to express in everyday life. A lot of people, and I am no exception, have a need to feel and experience those emotions. Actually, it is very important for me to know that I can help someone in this.

My goal, as an artist, is also to explore what lies beyond the horizon and to create something unconventional, different from the nowadays trends. By doing so, I would like to encourage others to be more creative and to think outside the box.

Can participation in secular music events and festivals in any way help to promote the creative manifesto?

Absolutely. Such events play a significant role in self-promotion as a music artist. They also serve as platforms which musicians can use to further spread their creative ideas and manifestos. By the way, I am currently preparing a program for one of those music events – the SOUND UP festival, which program includes contemporary classical and experimental electronic music.

Alexandra, how would you  describe your message to the audience?

I think people should be more tolerant of others. I also believe that it is beneficial for people to improve their emotional intelligence, empathy and compassion skills. I am convinced that effective and healthy communication is something we all need. I try to  follow those ideas myself as well as convey them to my listeners through instrumental music.

Tribute To Iana Sultanova On Publication Of Beauty & Business Book https://fashionuer.com/tribute-to-iana-sultanova-on-publication-of-beauty-business-book/ Sat, 20 May 2023 10:50:09 +0000 https://fashionuer.com/?p=31364 Iana Sultanova (Tashkunas) has been doing makeup since she was 18. At 20 years old she managed to become a make-up artist for the Bobbi Brown brand, and at 21 years old – the leading make-up artist for the Make Up For Ever brand. She spoke about it in her book “Beauty&Business” and the exhibition dedicated to it, which was held on April 29 2023 at the Zere School of Fine Arts in Kazakhstan.

Iana, let’s start our conversation about your exhibition. Tell us more about the idea of its creation.

My life path is closely connected with art. As an artist, I perceive any of my activities as a blank canvas on which you can create anything. I started thinking about creating an exhibition 5 years ago. I worked at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art then and was often inspired by other people’s work. I wanted to turn my work into art, but I didn’t know how. Writing the book was the first makeup bundle with “canvases” for me. I realized that this is a great opportunity to pay tribute to the makeup artists of the brands, which bear the whole industry and at the same time to be involved in art.

Why did you choose the Zere School of Fine Arts for the event?

The Zere School of Fine Arts is a small, but very beautiful and magical location, which, I think, is perfect for my event. Initially, I planned a small event for 10 people exclusively with the book presentation, but people began to find out about it and the number of guests increased to 30 people. Then I thought about creating an exhibition while conducting a performance with canvases: there was a white canvas at the exhibition. I applied red lipstick to everyone who wanted, they kissed canvas and thus left their mark on art and my project. By the way, there was even one man among them! The exhibition also featured photos with quotes from my book, and these are also canvases.

How much is it possible: reflection of make-up in the “canvases”?

In fact, makeup and art are closely related. We can say that a makeup artist is an artist who creates beauty on people’s faces. And, by the way, the reflection of makeup on the “canvases” is a common practice.  Let’s take as an example a face chart – applying products to a canvas to select shades, create contours and an approximate understanding of how holistic makeup will look on the client.

Iana, tell us how your exhibition went? Are you satisfied with the result?

Everything was organized in just one month, but despite that, the exhibition went as easily and smoothly as possible. The only problem we faced was the difficulty with the printing office, which printed the banners in the wrong size, but these are small things that we easily coped with. I was also worried that the size of the venue would not be enough for 30 guests, since, as I said, I originally planned a program for only 10 people. However, all the guests were comfortably accommodated in Zere, and the exhibition went just wonderful! With my project, I managed to unite people from a wide variety of areas of activity, which I am very happy about.

What aspects of makeup creation and industry did you cover in the book?

My book is about my path as a makeup artist, about self-development after completing training courses and about the psychological aspects of the industry, which are no less important than the ability to use brushes. I wrote about how to create your original portfolio and express your uniqueness. My book will be useful for beginner makeup artists and those with a professional background but want to develop and go beyond their capabilities.

How can you formulate your creative manifesto?

During my work the main conclusion I came to – is that there are no restrictions. The only thing that slows people down is the fear of being misunderstood and not accepted. For this reason, people often give up their desires and goals. I am convinced that there is nothing in the world that a person could not do. By the way, I faced criticism in my own direction when I decided to create an exhibition: I was told that exhibitions can only be held by artists, and as a makeup artist I don’t need it. However, creativity is the absence of restrictions, so I’m working hard towards my goals.

Exclusive Interview With Mr. Kirk C. Stange – A Well Known Family Law Attorney https://fashionuer.com/interview-with-mr-kirk-c-stange/ Thu, 10 Nov 2022 14:45:38 +0000 https://fashionuer.com/?p=17062 Mr. Kirk C. Stange is a top-rated licensed family law attorney in Clayton, Missouri, with over 22 years of experience in this field.

As an experienced lawyer, he focuses his practice in divorce, family law, child custody, child support, alternative dispute resolution and estate planning.

Mr. Stange also owns offices in several states, including Missouri (MO), Illinois (IL), Kansas (KS), Oklahoma (OK), and Nebraska (NE), in places like St. Louis in Clayton, Kansas City, Chicago, Columbia, Springfield, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Wichita, Omaha, and Lincoln.

Stange, tell us about yourself.

I am a family lawyer who has been practicing law for more than 22 years. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about everything I do. When I started Stange Law Firm, PC, in 2007, it was a single-office law firm in Clayton, Missouri.

And now, we have more than 20 offices in five states: Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. I am proud to say that we own the second-biggest family law firm in the United States.

What motivated you to become a divorce & family lawyer?

This is an interesting story, or should I say an event that led me to this. When I went to law school, I did not know I would practice divorce and family law. My first job out of law school was in a general practice law firm where lawyers practiced various areas of the law.

One day one of the partners at the law firm who practiced family law went on leave while I was there. I was asked to take on his divorce and family law cases when he was away.

Before I knew it, the clients referred their friends and family members to me. Family law then became a significant part of my practice area. After about five years as a lawyer, I decided to make family law my primary practice area.

What sets you apart from other professional lawyers?

I believe everyone around me is very professional and has exceptional abilities in this field. What sets us apart is having offices in several states, which makes us very different from other divorce and family law firms.

As you know, most firms just have a single office in one location. As part of our family law services, we have opened offices in different locations to help people deal with their respective family matters. As a result of our constant efforts, our firm took off and grew.

In terms of me as a lawyer, I have always taken my clients’ cases very seriously. I understand that what our law firm does for clients impacts the lives of real people, which is humbling. I also diligently work on my client’s cases to ensure that I am prepared for court and provide thorough advice.

I have tried to instill these same virtues in the lawyers at my firm. Presently, Stange Law Firm, PC has close to 50-lawyers at the firm in five states, and all these lawyers are hardworking and professional in their respective areas.

How do you emotionally connect with your clients?

It is no secret that divorce and family law matters can be some of the most emotionally charged and difficult times in a person’s life. So a lawyer must be empathetic to clients who are going through divorce and family law matters.

These individuals literally have their whole lives hanging in the balance. What we do impacts clients and their families for years to come. I’ve never forgotten that fact and tried to instill the same care in the lawyers at my firm. More than anything, the family lawyer does have to put themselves in their client’s shoes.

If an attorney cannot empathize with their client, it can make the already difficult situation even more stressful. The client may feel they are not being understood or their attorney does not care about them. This can lead to the client feeling disconnected from their attorney.

What was the hardest time of your career?

No matter what field you work in, there will always be ups and down. There have been many challenging times throughout my 22-year career.

However, I think getting Stange Law Firm, PC, through the pandemic was particularly challenging as it was for other businesses.

You know, as family and divorce lawyers, we deal with a lot of emotionally charged cases that can be very stressful for our clients, and the pandemic added an extra layer of stress and anxiety for everyone involved.

We had to find new ways to stay in touch with our clients and to get clients’ cases moving through the court system at that time. Many clients were also going through difficult times financially. It was challenging, but we got through it by working together as a team and supporting each other.

Stange, can you describe your hardest family law case?

I have worked on many difficult family law cases throughout my career. It is hard to reference one case. I have dealt with cases involving sexual abuse, physical violence, and tough financial circumstances.

However, in one case that I had years ago, the other party tried to hire a hitman to kill my client in the middle of the case. That cause brought a litany of challenges and complexities.

How do you keep your clients up-to-date on their cases?

As a law firm, it is important to keep your clients up-to-date on the status of their cases. At our firm, we respond to all phone calls and emails left before 5 pm the same day. We also, for many years, have uploaded all client documents to an online portal known as Your Case Tracker.

In a day and age where most desire documents paperlessly, lawyers must utilize technology to communicate with their clients. This allows our clients to log in and view the status of their cases at any time. In addition to providing updates, the portal also answers frequently asked questions and provides other information about the legal process.

How do you envision your next five years? What are your goals for the future?

I envision Stange Law Firm, PC will continue to grow to other locations. This year alone, we’ve opened seed offices in Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Chicago. In the years to come, Stange Law Firm, PC will continue to grow and expand to help individuals needing divorce and family law representation.

We have seen a lot of success with our seed offices and believe this growth will continue. We are committed to providing the best possible service to our clients and believe this growth will allow us to do so.

The next five years of our law firm will be exciting as we continue to grow and expand our services. We plan to open new offices in other major cities across the country and expand our online presence.

We will continue to offer our clients the highest quality legal services and work hard to keep them satisfied. We are always looking for ways to improve, and the next five years will be no different.

Stange, is there any case you lost and regret to this day?

When you practice in any area of law, there are always cases in which you ponder about the result and wish it may have turned out differently. 

Ultimately, it is also hard to call a family law case a win or a loss. These are multi-faceted cases with many different issues in play. In some parts of a case, the client might feel as if they won. In other areas, they might feel as if they lost.

But as their lawyer, my goal is to help ensure that clients can move on with their lives in a way where they can be happy and move into the next phase of their life.

Any advice you would like to give to those who also want to pursue their career as a family lawyer?

There are a few things you should know about a career as a family lawyer.

To be a family lawyer, you need certain specific skills and qualities. First and foremost, you must be able to empathize with your clients. As it is a highly emotional area of law, you need to understand and relate to what your clients are going through.

Secondly, you must also be able to think critically and analytically, as you will need to dissect complex legal issues.

Lastly, you must be patient and detail-oriented, as the legal process can be slow and tedious. If you have these qualities, then you have the guts to be a family lawyer!

How should people connect with you?

I am easily reachable to everyone through my website. We always try to respond to everyone as soon as possible. My Twitter account is another way to get in touch with me.

His answer was quite humble.

 He stated:

I started using musically here and there, just for fun. Later I realized more and more people liked these, so I got excited and thought that maybe I should take it more seriously. So I started TikTok from 2019, like actually using it consistently.

Your journey through the years has been quite influencing to the youth, and TikTok was not that bigger of the deal when you started, and your content has not only been one constant way it changed during the time so:

2) What do you feel has contributed to your success on TikTok?
