A divine gift. This is how the singer and composer Aish Divine<\/strong><\/a> defines art. A divine gift, something which is precious and invaluable, useful to open new paths, to better understand the reality that surrounds us. And, why not, to mend some painful wound. Il Grande Colibr\u00ec interviewed him.

Could you please tell me something about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m Aish Divine. I\u2019m a classically trained composer and singer<\/strong> and I write and produce pop music. I live in New York. My upcoming album\u2019s called \u201cThe Sex Issue\u201d, a confessional about modern love and sexuality. The next single from the album, \u201cJungly\u201d, comes out Wednesday [September 16; ed]!<\/p>\n

Wow! Music is surely an important part of your life… When did you realize that it was the perfect way to express yourself and your feelings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Art is a gift I was born with, a divine gift I\u2019m forever grateful for. This gift has been a means to express myself since I can remember. I would paint a lot as a child, before I turned to music. Migrating between continents, moving from place to place growing up through traumatic experiences… music was the only constant<\/strong>. It became my refuge, a means to communicate with the world, a way to understand the world and find myself.<\/p>\n
