Two bright examples of the new generation entrepreneurs and creatives from The Netherlands: Sevdaliza and Gunifort Uwambaga. These two thought-provoking artists meet on stage for their conversation about art and business blends together in their worlds. How can you really make a change as an artist? Can you remain an independent artist at the moment you become successful?
Dutch-Iranian and internationally successful multidisciplinary artist Sevdaliza is a master in “bending genres”, with her music that draws on genres including electronic, punk, triphop, grime and the avant-garde. Bookstore-owner and publisher Gunifort Uwambaga focuses on visually driven publications.

Speakers
Sevdaliza (Teheran, Iran) is an autodidactic singer, songwriter, director and composer. Her creations contrast husky vocals with cutting strings and bass lines setting an-enigmatic mood. Born in Iranand residing in the Netherlands, Sevdalizahas made quite the impression with her consistent release of audiovisual experiences. Sevdaliza’s melancholic visceral voice floats over beds of thumping triphop dubs, married with classical harmonies. Rhythmic tensions build slowly into chaotic climaxes. In 2020, Sevdaliza will continue her powerful career with a collection of releases that will leave a great impact in youth culture and far beyond.
Gunifort Uwambaga is a co-owner of MENDO, a publishing company and bookstore, based in Amsterdam, that focuses on visually driven publications. Born in Rwanda, Gunifort came to the Netherlands at the age of 8. When he was 18 he met Mendo co-owner and co-founder Roy Rietstap and started working at MENDO. Even though the aim wasn’t to stay at MENDO - Gunifort worked as a private banker trainee - he never left.

people who are this creative always have a certain spark in their eyes. It's beautiful to watch them speak about what they love.
I couldn't have put that better myself. She really is something special and changes how you perceive certain things. Her creativity is really something I cant put into words and never does she disappoint
I KnoW! :)
fr
yes, they have their lights on
I can’t believe she exists..like she exudes such a goddess vibe
it’s the glow of self-actualization.
This is exactly what I said lol
she's got an unique beauty
I CAN'T believe Sevdaliza is human
@Molnia Vnebe oh my friend, my mind is everything but narrow
is she an actual woman
Something very luciferian Baphomet here about this artist.....
don't be fooled, she is just wearing human skin
She is very human, creative people are awake and have old souls...lots of people on the earth are just mindless robots/drones with no soul.
Love this woman. To hear that she decided to go into music at 27 yet her music is so extraordinary is so inspiring. She is one om greatest inspirations. When I started buying musical equipment and taking musical courses, all I heard was "ain't you too old for music, are you taking this serious or you just playing". DO NOT LISTEN TO THE DOUBTERS!
So much needed to hear this. Thanks a lot mate
@@prachurjyasuraj1510 👍You're welcome brother.
27 is extremely young. Just another construct created by society to believe it's 'late' .
can I hear your beats?
@@Jwaydanofficial yea unfortunately for ALOT of industries its considered undesirable for women. Can't p*mp them out for the audiences ya know?
She speaks several languages. I'm always so impressed by people who are eloquent when shifting through so many language options in their head simultaneously.
"...The process of becoming is ongoing, but the choice of what we are has already been made, by others and by ourselves."
- Sevda on the cognitive dissonance regarding the process of becoming
thats a quote to remember
Sevdaliza makes the table look like a throne
Not to be overly focused on Sevdaliza’s appearance but it really aligns with her esoteric music. She really reminds me of classical paintings of the Sphinx. Such a perfect mixture of womanly and robust. Of gentle love and unyielding might.
The way she speaks is reminiscent of old Hollywood actresses, it’s very pleasant fo the ears and clearly enunciated.
This is surreal. This discussion has been a long time coming. I am Rwandan and I've been listening to Sevdaliza for years now since her first project. I have gotten so much knowledge, perspective, insight from her music that i can't even begin to put it into words. I can feel her energy from the screen just listening to her talk and express herself. This interview with Sevda and a fellow Rwandan was such a pleasant surprise. The quality of this conversation is beyond... I am so humbled and grateful to experience this. Thank you so much for this you beautiful humans, let's change the world!
I am Ugandan and got into Sevdaliza's music back in 2017. She has a way of being vulnerable and mysterious in her art that is rare these days. I'm grateful I came across this conversation. It's enlightening and taught me so much about different ways to access creativity. Sevdaliza's eloquence combined with Gunifort's informed analysis made this a delight for me to watch.
What a beautiful comment. I am an "older" person who likes to "crash" the party of younger people...in other words, I have been studying the culture of youth in this era, and it's such a beautiful thing to behold. I am so happy to see a global community of creatives, first of all, which I feel is going to build this "new world". Great Spirit of the Universe willing...
Thank you for the kind words !
@@Missjunebugfreak Thank June!
LOL
She deserves more recognition. These types of artists, this true artistry they bring to us, with their voices, their lyrics; telling stories, their emotions, their vulnerability, their rawness as a human being, and with their visuals all mixed together deserve the most recognition in society. She’s deserves as much recognition and as much rating as A-List celebrities.
This conversation helped me sketch out a hand tattoo I have planned. Free energy here. Very good interviewer or mediator.
Awesome! I'm over here organizing my computer files clearing the way for all new visual and musical art! Can't wait to get to the new chapter in my life!
I love the smile Gunifort makes when a question/comment sparks up in his mind
yess
Sevdaliza has imbued Shakti on this earthly plane. She exudes creative femininity, engulfing and reminding us of the ultimate beauty of Prakriti... But she reminds us that she's human. She's carving her own effervescent path and breathes life into those of us (women) who are lost/confused via her original creations... I adore her immensely. Thank you for this wonderful interview! 🙏
Big fan for years. Would love to see her collab with FKA Twigs for a whole album.
Omg, she’s smiling 😳🥺
Umm yeah... her smile catches me too, even if it just shines through the display of my smartphone. Maybe because it's more than just a social smile (?)
Love her ^^
I love to hear minorities own their space, craft, and passions.
Minorities. LOL
@Buffalo Bully Creatives who have penetrated a commercial industry that only glorifies a certain sound, idea and narrative.
She’s built like a beautiful statue and I mean that in the most respectful way ever 🙌🏽🙌🏽♥️♥️
I think a Sevdaliza collab with Lauryn Hill would just take us into another dimension, boy would I want to go there
Badu as well.
NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!
Perhaps FKA TWIGS or ALINA BARAZ on the female side, or GALIMATIAS, SOHN or GRANDJEAN on the male side.
Perhaps I am prejudiced towards the likes of LH or even EB, but I dont think they are even on the same level creatively.
@@errolmotau927 I agree, although EB is still very on point ,of course with diff vibe. If we have to say someone from the great big names that influenced music in general, I would say Bjork and Sevda.
Did someone mentioned how intelligent and beautiful human being is Gunifort ?!
Mais oui !
Finally, a new interview after 4 years! 😱
Can you imagine her in a movie! The mind goes crazy with the beautiful roles and characters she could embody. Yes!
i don't know a single person here but i feel so calm watching them all
Gunifort is a poet, he just doesn’t know it yet.
I just dont like how the interviewer loves to cut him off
probably the most heartwarming interwiever ive seen in a while
17:00 - I could see this. It seems like what she's been doing is lock-picking the unsconscious, hidden, archetypal, etc., and perhaps begging the question - where are those elements taking us in the 21st century, 22nd century, and beyond. IMHO she brings a strong amount of Hecate to the table, the Triple Goddess is very important these days as we grapple with big existential questions such as how the heck it is that we survive cocktails as awful as exponential technology with age-old Darwinian game theory. It's like E.O. Wilson said 'We have neolithic emotions, medieval institutions, god-like technology'. Bret Weinstein's recently said in response to some questions about psychedelics that we should really have all sorts of people probing every angle of the solution space. I see Sev's work as part of this much like I see the 21st century Hermetic revival as part of this as well. To bring the whole thing forward into survivable equilibrium we have to face and integrate our collective shadow.
@carbon1479 you're right, very hekate and alchemical - navigating inner and outer crossroads by sevda moon, with help from mucky sun. she deals in/plays with universal elements that undulate and breathe underneath everything we take in with our senses. a fine balance of objective and subjective. weird to analyze it so much because the attraction just is what it is, but here we are! go on with your bad self, madam sevdaliza
i appreciate your words
@carbon1479 i like your take on it
that’s beautiful
This actually spoke to me, the energy and source coming from this interview is truly authentic and powerful.
super inspiring, very excited to hear sevdaliza's thought process for her art and career
A rare Sevdaliza appears!
Sevdaliza brings a fresh awareness to us being so much more than the stories made, boundless to flow in our own authentic presence. Love flowing from within.
She is so beautiful, so unique. I'm amazed by her.
Sevdaliza and Gunifort were answering these questions so well. The interviewers questions were framed in such a way that was so strange- he was fawning over them/sevdaliza and I could see she was the TINIEST bit uncomfortable... Maybe not uncomfortable, but the way he was asking them was a little extra for an interviewer and was putting them on such a pedestal when all they were there to do was to have a conversation. Sevdaliza is so down to earth and humble and I think she appreciated the questions he was asking but some of the questions were a little ridiculous, or at least worded a little ridiculously.
Sevda is a Goddess, saw her concert a few days ago and was in awe of how ethereal she is, I didn't wanted the concert to end, she is just so magical❤️
Independent artists are the future. Everyone must have the chance to manage their own talent, let the people sustain the people! Wake up everybody, we don't need anyone or anything between us and the artists! Most of the time publishers or big companies end up killing artists creativity. Internet will unite us all, wait and see! Good luck, everybody!
Inspiring, enlightening, and beautiful dialogue. Truly enjoyed this interview.
Danielle, I love your play on words for your name! Clever
@@princessjoymillani2054 ♥️ Thank you!
Sev is so beautiful, inside and outside. Could listen to her for hours, both her music and talking
I unfortunately don't like all of her music , but I like her. She's even more amazing to me now after viewing this. Very inspiring!
i would sincerely love to see someone try to top this "interview" :) amazing conversation! everyone shines with their contributions, and sevda & her work/art is showcased in a surprisingly insightful and balanced way. bravo
I didn't know who Gunifort was. But boy is he handsome! Also, Sedvaliza's chill energy and beauty are insane.
This was uploaded on my birthday. What a gift! 🙏🏾✨
the creative process between sev and mucky sounds really interesting. One's a great guy who can produce and another's a woman full of character and stories. Also what an eloquent speaker Gunifort and the host. Loved the conversation, god bless
gunifort is MY GUY ! seriously cant wait to see what him and sev get into these next few years
Honestly they need to have a bebee. ^.^
omg she is soooo pretty, love everything ab her
18:06 - About music creation process: This kind of workflow is the pinnacle of creative making. As long as you have a partner in crime that accepts it. Great to hear that this works for Sevdaliza, as it sounds to be working extremely well.
I love the fruit of diverse cultures mixed, and their delicious results, it's inspiring and so thank you! for sharing it all in English so that I could understand!
She Is So beautiful !!
Voldoen aan de oordelen en percepties van anderen versus het volledig tot ontwikkeling laten komen van je ware zelf. Wat een mooie conversatie!
so many gems and insight here. I'm so grateful that there are people that do work like this - very rooted in the earth, very intuitive. I love that there are people like that.
such an insightful/pure conversation between 2 artists who are on the continuous quest of self-actualization. so inspiring. i can’t wait to work with Sevda and Mucky in the future ⚡️
Such a beautiful conversation. Lovely lovely souls
Love her and the way this interview was conducted
Ze is een fantastische artiest, overstijgend, spiritueel, mysterieus en gedreven 🙌🏻👁🖤
I am so overwhelmed by the lessons you gave
This was such a wonderful thing to stumble on to this morning. Thought provoking and inspiring people
This is a great moderator. Absolutely superb
Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! Gaining insight in how these incredible people do things and what's their mindset behind them is truly inspiring!
This was so awe inspiring. I rewatched and rewound so many parts from everyone Andrew Makkinga, Sevdaliza and Gunifort Uwambaga. Thank you so much for this, truly. It would be so incredible to have a part 2 later down the line!
I was so focused on what she was saying so carefully and so awarely !! Extra attractive human being!
Incredible interview! So grateful for this enlightening, grounding, expansive conversation. Thank you.
There are so many powerful and insightful things in this conversation. Thank you to all who made this possible.
I share the same feeling of tangible information with Gunifort. Sevdaliza looked a bit shy outside her music.
Thanks a million for this inspiring conversation.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Lover many of her songs & vids and I am Goth/Punk. Another new Find for me, is from Sweden called Crying Vessel. great artistic vids. wonderful Post punk revival darkwave feel yet about love. Also independent for the most part. As well a published Horror Author.
2 Beautiful artistic souls who work so incredibly together!! No wonder the rest of us watch in amazement!
I am amazed. I would watch this over and over.
As an artist this was so affirming to listen to and watch it brings peace of mind to the future of ART for me.
This is interview remind me we are capable of the changing the world and doing the seemingly impossible.
I appreciate this so much. Been following Sevda for years now and it’s beautiful to get to know her more through conversation than just her art.
Ah yes, thank you for inviting such thought provoking individuals to speak about their creative processes and express their thoughts. Om shanti
Thank you for this. Really great conversation.
So gratifyng to see people talking with such empathy, really inspiring, i cryed thanks
As an Iranian, I'm proud
Yeeess girl!! "Egos are over presented" [because it hinders making shit happen]... best way to describe it!!
Thank you for this interview - Long live Sevdaliza ❤❤❤❤
I haven't had the opportunity to listen to an interview which is genuine, inclusive, real and inspiring for so long. This was so refreshing. Principled, intelligent and perhaps most importantly, decent human beings that are living in the real world. Beautiful work. Thanks for posting!
wow! love from méxico
I am so grateful for this.
This was such a beautiful and insightful conversation.
waou. Great minds, huge spirits. What a treat to be able to expeirnce this moment
Thanks, I enjoyed this. 👍
Two really amazing talented young people creating in new ways and relating in new ways. Hopefully others see their example and learn to manifest their creativity. I see the younger people around me approaching the problems of the world in a different way. Creating in new ways and relating to each other and respecting each other maybe better than my generation and my parents generation did. I encourage them and applaud them. Sometimes all you gotta do to make this a better world for artists and scientists, problem solvers, inventors and social connectors is just do you.
Uwambaga from Mendo?? Ok, so, I've darkened their doorstep (and sofas, and drooled all over their shelves) every time I've been to Amsterdam these last years. That man is one of the best voices for independent, visual-oriented edition! Mendo's take on iconisation is one of the sweetest, I love that you're making him talk with Sevdaliza ♡♡♡
Been enjoying her music so much, recently got her Shabrang vinyl to play. Such a wonderful layered album. Did not know about that particular shop, which makes me intrigued and want to visit once that is possible again.
the most beautiful singer alive ❤❤❤❤
I think I'm officially in love with this woman after hearing her talking... LOL
this entire conversation is refreshing. 👽
Good video. I am glad it took place.
Sevdaliza is a truly revolutionary creative force.
This is the most inspiring talk on youtube
Regarding the question about the harness in min 34:
When I saw her wearing that in Shahmaran, my interpretation of a beautiful woman wearing something that resembles crystals, clearness, pleasure while laying like a Venus in that video, was like “the final test” for a mortal man before ascending to a higher level of consciousness/freedom, and he chooses “water” instead, the most important thing for human existence, not letting his internal desires or greed take over him.
A beautiful video and song with many ways to be perceived by each mind🤍
yo this mediator/interviewer is really really good
*i just discovered Sevdaliza and am hooked on her sound....now im curious to hear her rap, shes such a whirlwind of interesting musical aspects
Brilliant interview, thank you 🙏🏽
I didn't want it to end.
very interesting to hear Sevdaliza's thoughts
59:06 great question and well placed answer
This was an excellent interview
you both are magic
This was a great interview, very mentally stimulating. 😁
I love Sevdaliza so much

I love sevdaliza 💖💜💜💜💜
We All Do! We Are The Chosen Ones^^
you can feel the passion of gunifort in his eyes
