Ana Kiri released her new single and music video, “I Still Remember.” The music video was produced by the Black Flamingo Films and directed by Jarop. This single defines the direction where Ana wanted to go in her music career - good quality house EDM.
What made you decide to pursue music?
I have always loved music. However, it has been years since I finished classic music school, and I’m getting back to music only now. When I was little and practiced piano pieces by Mozart and Beethoven for school, I couldn’t appreciate music. All I wanted was to go back to my dance classes or with my school friends and have fun. I concentrated more on dancing, then on acting. It wasn’t until I moved to Miami that I got to know electronic music and fell in love with it. And all the possibilities EDM offers to you. Not only as a performer but as a producer as well.
Why did you switch modeling to singing, or are you doing both?
My music to me isn’t about my singing. My music to me, is about music itself. It’s about the melody, the arrangement, the instruments I choose. It’s about the story the song tells. With my first single “Feel my love,” I was going for the summer upbeat tropical house vibe, with carefree and a kind message. With my recent release, “I still remember,” I wanted to go more into deep house and concentrate on the bass, kick, and the drop. Here I had the possibility to work on an amazing music video with Miami based Black Flamingo Films. We portrayed the fight of a woman with her inner demons. I’m most proud of when I play my song to someone, and they actually have that feeling I wanted to convey – that’s what I love.
I’m doing everything at the same time - music, dancing, acting, and painting. I find that switching from one thing to another also helps me advance while giving me time to rest doing something else, and get a perspective.

What is your next project?
My new single, “Word of Mouth,” is coming out on January 26, and I’m very excited about this one. I worked together with the talented Patrick J Que Smith, who wrote “Best Thing I Never Had” for Beyonce, “Radar” for Britney Spears, “Baby I’ for Ariana Grande, and many more. This song is so much fun, and I can’t wait for you to hear it. I worked with the very talented Lucas Villemur on the production, and we came out with a super cure and groovy pop-funk sound.
Are you planning on working on a full album?
Releasing my first EP, “Dreaming,” was a big project. Mainly because any album is like a story on its own, like a book with many chapters. And you need to see the whole picture. It has been so much fun for me working on singles because I can try totally different things with each new track. Definitely down the road, I see myself working on an album, but at this point, I think I’m still finding my sound, still a lot of things I need and want to learn. It is definitely a journey. And I’m super excited that I started it.
Do you listen to music other than electronic music?
Of course. I love Mumford & Sons, Florence + the machine, Vance Joy, Norah Jones, and many others. I pretty much love all music and can find beauty in it all.

We love your social media; it looks like you’re putting a lot of time and effort into your shuffle dance videos. Does it take a lot of your time?
Actually, the idea of doing music came out from my shuffle dance videos. I thought how cool it would be to dance to my own music one day. So, I guess one of the main goals I want to achieve with my music is to make people move. Move and dance. Now I actually can shuffle dance to my own songs, and it has been a lot of fun.
