Veronika Releases Most Anticipated Video For Single "CAMERA"

Veronika has released her latest visuals to the most anticipated record "CAMERA". The concept behind this masterpiece is its focus on current problems females face nationwide and globally everyday.

  Veronika's music career began in 2012 through her strictly motivated decision to build up herself as a musician and as an artist. She came back to Ukraine and began her work as a musician in association with DJ and sound producer First Craft (Dmitriy Stefaniv) genius music writer who was spotted first ay the age of 14 by Sony label in Holland, and director Yevgeniy Timokhin who worked at that time with boys band KAZAKY featured artists in Madonna’s “Girl Gone Wild”; she met Timokhin through mutual friends during a casting for a TV reality show in Kiev in May 2012.

This is a one-two knockout punch of a powerful video, and equally powerful lyrics. The video evokes thoughts of female protests around the world, and everything that is wrong with personal objectification and men "putting in time" with a woman and feeling they are entitled to her body (and the violence that follows). The line "Give me your time and you will be rewarded" is a great indictment against the general perception of women by today's society.


I was lucky enough to interview Veronika, and here are her responses to the questions I posed:

Tersichore: What moved you to music instead of, say, financial statistics?

Veronika: I can't imagine doing something else but music, it's the way I express myself, deliver my message, making a change, living. Some people have lives and some have music. Originally I started to protest through my songs against discrimination and prejudgement against women, against violence toward women which I experienced in my own life, to stand for freedom of expression, religion believes and acceptance. We are all unique and we should not violate someone else's rights for self expression or being different or just being a human.

Tersichore: How long have you been doing this?

Veronika: I formed my solo project in 2012

Tersichore: I'm not going to ask about your influences (because everyone asks that), but who are you listening to when you're not making music?

Veronika: I listen to MJ a lot but when I'm driving or working out its mostly rap/hip hop music Jay Z, Drake, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Dr.Dre, Eminem also I like Will.I.Am. I like women empowerment message in Beyonce's music and I like to listen audio books bios mostly.

Tersichore: Plans for the future?

Veronica: Just take it all by storm!

Tersichore: If you wanted to impress something on your listeners (or the readers of this article) what would it be?

Veronika: My message, my cause for music and a reason why.
In songs- my favorite is definitely talking part intro/ bridge where I express sincere all what lies deep inside my heart, when I talk in my songs it feels like I talk personally to a person who listens it, even if it's a one way conversation it's still very meaningful, private and emotional.
