About Me & Why I Created A B C
Firstly, thank you so much for being here!
My name is Tianna and I am the visionary behind Arts Beats Culture. For me, it has been a long journey of re-finding my voice, and owning that I am an artist! I hadn’t sung, or shared any art work for 10 years! I had thoughts I would never sing again! I was deeply missing creativity in my life, and had locked away my artist voice. The thing is, I love to sing, I love to perform, but most of all, I need to, to keep my creative artist alive, and to feed my artist’s soul! I was so afraid of sharing my voice with others, of standing in vulnerability and letting my heart be seen. I needed, and still often need a boost of confidence, a reason to share, a purpose to bring me back to my creative life! It was a realisation (an ‘AHA’ moment) that I was missing something deeply! It took one gathering with a group of my friends to realise that I was not alone in these feelings. We were all missing something… something to keep our creative artists alive; we needed a place to feel safe, seen & heard, cared for - supported so that we have the security and confidence to share our art with the world. We were missing each other! Artists do not need to be alone, and why should we!? ABC was built to support and inspire artists (us) together, and to help encourage each other to share our art, to be brave in our vulnerability, and to never stop ever creating! - Arts is the hearts work, without it, who are we? - I truly believe everyone is an artist and that every artist needs support! Without the support of community I would not have built the courage to start performing again, to start creating, to start singing again!
It is a true gift that keeps giving - to inspire and be inspired!
I cannot wait to welcome you!
“Perfectionism can kill creativity, and keep our artists locked away. We welcome all the messy art you create. We welcome you, and your vulnerability! Because life is a messed up masterpiece! So let’s bring it all together and share what ever our heart beats - we are better together”
- Tianna Alexander, Visionary Behind ABC
