From Russia to the USA and 16 years in between - Yalana: Finding Her Way Back to Music, Creativity & Her True Self What happens when you walk away from music for fifteen years… and then discover it was waiting for you all along? On this episode of The Jeremiah Show, I sit down with pop-rock artist and songwriter Yalana to explore a remarkable story of reinvention, healing, and creative rebirth. Before launching a successful public relations career in Los Angeles, Yalana spent six years fronting a rock band in Russia, performing concerts, writing songs, and chasing the dream of a life in music. But when her career path shifted, music slowly faded into the background. For nearly a decade, she didn't write a single song. Then something changed. After years of helping other artists tell their stories, Yalana began reconnecting with her own. What followed was an unexpected creative awakening that led to more than twenty new songs, including her debut singles "Good Girl" and "I Am You, You Are Me." During our conversation, Yalana shares her journey from Russia to Los Angeles, the pressures of being the "good girl," the power of therapy and self-discovery, and why it's never too late to return to your true self. This is a conversation about music, transformation, and finding the courage to become who you were always meant to be. "It's never too late to get back to yourself, to your true self." In This Episode: Growing up in Russia and fronting a rock band Building a successful career in public relations Moving to Los Angeles with almost no English The creative awakening that sparked her return to music The story behind "Good Girl" Healing, self-discovery, and finding your authentic voice Why songwriting became a form of therapy What's next for Yalana Featured Songs: • "Good Girl" • "I Am You, You Are Me" Follow YALANA INSTAGRAM TikTok Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Yolana and Her Musical Journey 05:00 Transition from Music to PR and Back 10:06 Insights on the Russian Music Industry 14:53 The Emotional Journey of Songwriting 19:58 Reconnecting with Music and Inner Self 25:09 Yolana's New Music and Artistic Evolution 34:54 Vocal Evolution and Techniques 37:07 The Journey of Songwriting 40:20 Returning to Music and Personal Growth 45:22 The Essence of Yolana: Transformation and Identity 48:25 Breaking Free from Expectations 52:36 Overcoming Self-Sabotage 54:16 Recognizing the Forgotten Self 56:34 The Role of Supportive Relationships 01:00:18 The Artist's Vision and Future Projects The Jeremiah Show features conversations with music icons, filmmakers, chefs, entrepreneurs, authors, and artists who inspire us to listen more and evolve.
