Today we’d like to introduce you to Angie Maserati
Hi Angie, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I have reached my current position by following the light that reveals the truth within me. This guiding light directs my path, navigating with the strengths of authenticity and belief. It is energized by the creative forces that exist within myself and within us all—a pure quantum life force from the ever-expanding universe. This energy empowers me, creating a way of being that encourages my personal growth. It flows with truth in an unblocked and unapologetic manner. I aspire to be nothing other than my true self. My inner voice is loving, nurturing, kind, and patient; this is how I perceive and cherish the world around me. Any other perspective would hinder my joy. Joy does not imply constant laughter; rather, it signifies moving through life with genuine understanding and seeking love in every situation. The most challenging moments foster our growth, and I have discovered that growth itself is an expression of love.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
When you pursue a dream, you often observe the success of others and ponder their journey. What efforts did they make? Was it merely luck? Rarely! It’s about connecting with those who appear to hold the keys and influence needed to break into the industry. However, these connections can also turn you into a puppet without self-preserving boundaries in place. We see this depicted in the documentaries that are currently popular, showcasing the contrast between the facade of success and the actual and often painful experiences behind it. I’ve encountered the unsettling aspects of the music industry firsthand—men who grope and sexualize, hoping to manipulate you into relinquishing your power. Fortunately, my self-worth prevented me from becoming a victim. Ultimately, no amount of success can heal a wounded soul. I’ve even penned a powerful song about this experience, though I haven’t released it yet. One challenge lies in the financial investment required to produce a quality track, but that landscape has shifted significantly due to advancements in technology. While technology has saturated the market, what remains essential—both now and before the internet era—is touring and organically building a fan base. I would love to go on tour! The real challenge is finding fellow musicians who are willing to face adversity and live out of a van alongside you.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am so proud that nothing has ever put out the fire in me to live my dream of making music and performing. I am a mother of three and my oldest is 30! That is a lot of juggling hats through the years to maintain balance and fulfillment for everyone. The most important thing to me in the whole world is that my family feels and knows how loved they are in my actions and my presence. I have successfully done that. Part of that success is with communicating and sharing the dream with my family. Showing them Angie the girl with a dream is their mamma too. They love it and they are so proud of me. I believe it has shaped their view of roles and the freedom that exists when you are in a healthy loving family. My only ask of my kids is that they be authentic to themselves and never settle for less than they were born to be. They decide what that is. A powerful quote that resonates so much with me is that “my kids came through me, not for me” There is no ownership, just the awe of the miracle that they are and I get to be a part of it.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
Growing up and living every day of my life with my sister Terri was a childhood with a best friend! Terri knew and loved everything about me and I her . We are less than 2 years apart and I have loved her since I met her. We seemed to grasp the gift of one another. We didn’t fight or compete, instead supported and loved each other unconditionally always. I don’t even know who I would be without her love for me. We shared a bedroom into our high school years; at night we would chat until we fell asleep or play rhyming games and laugh until tears of joy ran down our faces. I lost her to poor medical care and cancer in March 2023. Even with the spirit of her reminding me constantly that she is right here, it has been so hard. I believe her angelic presence is near, because she would never leave me alone knowing that she is the beat of my heart. Watching the person who is woven so seamlessly into the fabric of you suffer is soul crushing.. Music has been a savior for me. I felt so numb after she died. I wasn’t sure I could make it through a show without falling apart. She was my biggest fan. I was printing my set list for my first show back after her passing and as I looked up from the printer I saw a note card on my office shelf from her that read “Let Your Heart Sing”. It was a clear sign and in perfect timing. Terri still gives me strength and support. We are our spirits, the body is a lovely and powerful vehicle we create with. Life is a gift, physically, spiritually and eternally. ‘Nothing to fear but fear itself”
