I was backstage along with all the other people ready to audition for the Elani Records who were looking for new and natural talent. Auditions like this weren't something new to me; every time an opportunity would come for me to do what i've always wanted to do -music- i would train and work hard for the moment when i'd get to record my own songs and have the honour of hearing my voice on the radio, going down a red carpet along with artistes i've grown to know and learn from but most importantly to share my music with the world. So here i am chasing my dreams with every angle life gives me. I am then interrupted from my thoughts when i hear my name called, this was it.
"Fayne Syan, please come on stage"
I steadily walk up to the wide and wooden-floored stage. I make sure to show confidence in my poise, something my mum reminds me all the time.
"Fayne Syan, how are you today?" one of the female judges asked me as i answered genuinely with a smile.
"Very good, thank you"
"that's wonderful now what have you prepared to perform for us today?"
"I will be doing a cover of Ariana Grande's Tattoed Heart"
"Go ahead when your ready"
I take a deep breath in and carefully exhale, i close my eyes and imagine my self in my bedroom singing along to the instrumentals i would get from Youtube pretending to be performing for thousands of my fans at Coachella. But this was real. I openend my mouth and sang along to the pianist's rhythm and for a moment there was no judges, no jeers from other contestants, just me and the music.
"You don't need a lot of money
Honey you don't have to play no games
All I need is all your loving
To get the blood rushing through my veins
I wanna say we're going steady
Like it's 1954,
No, it doesn't have to be forever
Just as long as I'm the name on your tattooed heart..."
When i was done with my performance i opened my eyes and could see people in the audience clapping, cheering nd some even standing ovation; The judge with curly brunette scruffy , then raised his hand commanding silence throughout the whole auditorium, there was now pin drop silence. My heart beat faster the more quieter it became.
"Thank you Fayne we throughly enjoyed that performance from you and we are greatly impressed by your voice control and your rendition for that song was beautiful too. Now something we notices about you is your stage presence: you seemed a little bit nervous? But son't worry that's something you can work on, we will be getting back to you very soon on if you have proceeded but until then , thank you very much"
"And thank you all" I said humbly
I walked off stage courteously and proud about my performance, i did my best and that's what i aimed for and i was fine with it. I went back into the audience where i had sat , took my bag and my way out of the auditorium. I took a glance at my phone's screen and saw that it was only 2 O'Clock, i had about 2 missed calls from both Myles and Mavis - my two bestfriends. I sent a text to Mavis telling her we could meet up at my place after it looked like such a nice, chilled , sunny day here in the city of Los Angeles, California.
"Auditions was good-ish, saw your missed calls, how about, Me, you and Myles meet up at my place, tell me what you guys wanna eat and i can bring it on my way there?"
