Ina: Cool
DJ Ability: So, how are you doing?
Ina: I’m doing great this morning.
DJ Ability: Oh, that’s wonderful!
DJ Ability: So, you know we had a few questions…You know we found about you through Twitter. We saw your rendition of “Home Sweet Home.” (by Motely Crue). We want to make sure to showcase you today.
DJ: Uhm, so..
Ina: Thank you.
DJ Ability: What is it that drew you to singing? Why do you like to sing?
Ina: Because it makes me feel good about myself. I like to be a voice for those autism kids that don’t have a voice…and with people with mental health…Some people just don’t like to get out there and say things. So I sing for them. Because I think everyone deserves a voice.
DJ Ability: Oh, oh…that’s great. So, you’re an advocate too, very talented…So when did you actually start singing?
Ina: Around 6.
DJ Ability: 6, wow! Wow!
Ina: Like 6 years old.
DJ Ability: And uhm…So…did you take music lessons? Or how did you learn to sing like that?! (Host laughs in amazement!)
Ina: Well my mom and dad knew I had a gift when I was little. So that put me in ? school of music. And I got a voice coach named Taylor. And he’s one of the best. I still go to see him every other week. We work in the studio. So I’m still working with him…ever since I was 14 or 15.
But I had a voice coach before that. But she stopped showing up to my lessons which was awkward. So then I just got another voice coach. So…
DJ Ability: Well, you do have a beautiful voice.
Ina: Thank you.
DJ Ability: So, do you write your own poetry or lyrics for your songs?
Ina: Thank you. Well, I wrote one song. It is on iTunes. It’s under Tiff Ina. And the song is called, Show Me the Way.” It’s not a remastered version. I’m working on doing a country CD. We don’t have a date set yet though for that. It’s working. It’s a work in progress.
DJ Ability: Like some of your favorite artists? Uhm…
Ina: I love Patsy Cline. I love like the older country music. I’m a country girl…I mean I like Alan Jackson, stuff like that. Well I’m going to play “Home Sweet Home” since I finally got it up.
DJ Ability: Ok great.
Ina: Let me know if you can hear it.
DJ Ability: Ok

Love is in the air everywhere I look around
Song begins:
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes.
Love is in the air, in the whisper of the tree
Love is in the air in the thunder of the sea
And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel safe
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh, oh, oh, oh, uh
Love is in the air, in the rising of the sun
Love is in the air, when the day is nearly done
And I don't know if you are illusion
Don't know if I see truth
But you are something that I must believe in
And you are there when I reach out for you
Love is in the air everywhere I look around
Love is in the air every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh, oh, oh, oh, uh
Oh, love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh, oh, oh, oh, uh

Lyrics for That’s What Friends Are For (Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Elton John)
And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe, I love you

And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way
I thank you

Oh and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
The words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Keep smiling and keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
'Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
Whoa, good times and the bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
