[APPLAUSE]
YOU KNOW THE SONG IS GOOD
WHEN YOU ARE SINGING ALONG
AGAIN THAT IS KIMYANA
SINGING THAT AIN'T ME.
KIMY A, NA'S THIRD ALBUM.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH
US THIS MORNING.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
Chuck: SO IS POSSIBLE TO
DO BALLROOM DANCING WHEN YOU
ARE SITTING ON A STOOL
BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING.
Tati: TELL US ABOUT YOUR
BAND?
WELL, THE NAME OF THE
BAND IS KEY ELEMENTS.
WE HAVE POWELL RUSHING ON
BACKGROUND VOCALS, CRAIG
SHEPHERD ON BASS, WE HAVE
KYLE ROOT ON DRUMS, AND WE
HAVE KEN ROCKET ON
Chuck: VERY COOL.
GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY.
TELL US ABOUT LOTS OF GREAT
TUNES AND FOR BALLROOM DANCE,
TOO.
ABSOLUTELY.
I LOVE TO DANCE.
Tati: SO THE SONG THOUGH
THAT AIN'T ME HAS A PERSONAL
MEANING.
TELL US ABOUT IT.
WELL, FORMERLY I WAS
GOING BY -- I SAID I GOT TO
DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
I WANTED TO START USING MY
REAL NAME BECAUSE MY NAME
WAS CREATED BECAUSE I DIDN'T
LIKE AT THE TIME WHO KIMYANA
WAS AND AT WHAT HER LIFE WAS
ABOUT.
SO IT'S A WAY FOR ME TO
COVER UP HURTS AND OTHER
THINGS.
SO I CREATED DONYA WHICH IS
A COMBINATION OF MY FIRST
AND LAST NAME SO I WANTED TO
REDUCE MYSELF AS KIMYANA SO
THAT AIN'T ME IS HOW IT CAME
ABOUT.
IT JUST SIMPLY JUST SAYS HEY,
WHATEVER YOU THOUGHT OR
WHATEVER YOU KNOW YOU
THOUGHT I FEEL WORD TO
THAT'S NOT WHAT IT IS.
THIS IS WHO I AM.
THIS IS WHO I'M GOING TO BE.
Chuck: THAT'S A GOOD
LESSON FOR ALL OF US.
WHO BETTER TO BE MOVED
THAN YOU.
Chuck: TELL US ABOUT YOUR
ALBUM.
YOU HAVE COVERS OF THIS
ALBUM AS WELL.
I DO.
WE HAVE ACTUALLY HAVE A
REMAKE RIGHT NOW OF STILL
WATER DRUMBEAT A FOUR TOPS
SONG WHICH WAS THE FIRST
THING THAT HAD COME OUT
WHICH I LOVED AND I'M
ABSOLUTELY EXCITED ABOUT.
THEN ALSO GOING TO DO A
REMAKE OF IF YOU ONLY KNEW
WHICH IS ANOTHER SONG WE'RE
GOING TO DO.
Chuck: HOW DO YOU MAKE IT
YOUR OWN WHAT'S THE TWIST.
I HAVE A UNIQUE SOUND SO
THAT'S KIND OF EASY BECAUSE
MY SOUND IS REALLY NOT LIKE
ANYONE IN PARTICULAR.
IT'S KIND OF A COMBINATION
OF ALL OF THE ARTISTS THAT I
GREW UP LISTENING TO AND I
JUST MADE IT MY OWN SOUND
Tati: YOU ARE GOING TO
SING FOR US LATER ON.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SING?
I'M GOING TO SING HERE I
AM.
WHICH I'M GOING TO DEDICATE
TO MY SISTERS.
SHE PASSED AWAY THREE YEARS
AGO.
DUE TO TRAGEDY.
TODAY IS ACTUALLY THE
ANNIVERSARY OF HER DEATH.
SO I THOUGHT WHAT A BETTER
SONG TO SING.
TUNED FOR KATHIE LEE AND
HODA WHICH COMES YOUR WAY
NEXT.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE YOU
WITH SOME MORE MUSIC FROM
KIMYANA REECE AND THE KEY
ELEMENTS.
