"No matter what as an artist that's always what you want to do, you want to connect to the audience, you want to be able to send whatever message it is that you're singing about, you want to be able to convey that - and not make them feel - you want them to feel it, you want them to feel what you feel"

This quote by Naima Adedapo talks to the heart of what it suggests to be an artist. As an artist, it is essential to be able to get in touch with the audience and to be able to communicate the message of the tune. It is inadequate to merely make the audience feel something, however to make them feel what the artist feels. This is the supreme goal of an artist, to be able to share their emotions and experiences with the audience. It is a powerful thing to be able to do, and it is something that all artists strive for. By connecting with the audience, the artist is able to create an effective and meaningful experience for both the artist and the audience.
