We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Twinkle. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Twinkle below.
Twinkle , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
The first song I ever made from scratch! It’s called “PUZZLE PIECE “ it represents our journey & experiences in life being a piece of a puzzle that will all come together one way or another. I made the beat on GarageBand and every thing a representation of parts of me. I feel like God was really trying to confirm that even though things may be uncertain he is always with me & that he gave me the tools and courage to continue pursuing and working on my music because there’s so many parts of me that I have to show. I also hoped that people could put themselves in the song and realize that all their dreams are puzzle pieces that will soon become one big art !
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m Twinkle Ohana, I was born in Tyler Texas and raised in Illinois. I turned 25 march 10th! I’m a singer I write my own music and I also make beats, I’m still starting off just like a lot of people and so much to do and quite frankly, we don’t even have a lot of time, but with the time that I do have I want to be as genuine and as creative as I can be! I think we sent me apart from others is the fact of knowing the truth, and how I would choose to use my platform.. I thank God for everything that I have and it’s only because of him I was able to even have the courage to do what I’m doing now. I spent a lot of time in darkness so I know what it’s like now to experience the light & grace that I’ve been given. I choose to use my platform for more than just me and my creative endeavors, I want to do so much. I wanna be a voice for those who can’t speak. Creatively I’m very versatile, any beat any vibe any genre it doesn’t matter I don’t have a set or specific anything. Making music is something I would actually do just because I feel like it’s something that God put in my heart, I’m unashamed of my faith because I know how good he’s been to me, and I’ve tasted the goodness of the Lord I also am an imperfect person, I know that nothing I have is by my own will alone. I truly believe in everybody.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
I had to learn what it means to be a true warrior. I love anime but as I got older, I started to truly realize what message they were truly trying to convey, courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s being afraid and doing it anyway. When David took down Goliath, I’m sure he was afraid all he had was something so so small and seemingly to this giant, who has been slaying for who knows how long , but he did it. Not without the absence of fear, but with faith & courage to do it anyway. I love to sing all my life, but I was always so scared and so shy, and even still struggle with feeling insignificant compared to those who are more experienced than me. But I’ve gotten so much better, I have a best friend named Sparkle who has supported me when I didn’t know anything about presets or mastering I just sounded a mess! But without hurt, and without the courage, I would have never pursued or even tried even when I knew in my heart that God gave me a gift of music. Instead of comparing myself to others I’m happy with the fact that I’m me and that no matter what I put out, nobody can put it out like how I would and that nobody can tell my story the way that only I could. Because it’s me. I don’t wanna be anybody else.
What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?
It’s nothing in particular, besides like I’ve stated before that it’s a gift that’s always been in my heart. Quite frankly, it’s really hard to work a regular job. I’m just not really built for it on my own boss and I like to do things on my own time if I am doing something, someone tells me to do I can’t help but to add my own little sprinkle on it, regular life is so enslaving and dull it makes me apathetic. I’m someone who wants to do a lot of things, I don’t care to be the most famous person in the world. I just want to be successful in what I do and I want to be able to give back to the causes that I care about. I love animals with a strong passion and one thing that I want to do is to be a part of the Borneo orangutan Society, they help endangered orangutans because they are severely endangered, I want to help rehabilitate them so that they can live the way that they should’ve always lived before. Humans came and messed it up for them. I want them to know that they’re protected and that they don’t have to hide or suffer & that mother orangutans should always stay with their babies for as long as they can so that they can continue to grow as they should. How people treat animals infuriates me and if I could make a difference in their lives I’ll be satisfied. I also want to have my own variety show and I already plan to call it “Twinkle with the stars” where other artist/actors/models can come on my show and have a great time!
