Music is one of the most powerful forces of unification. It has the power to heal, the power to help, the power to inspire, and the power to change.

Yuna understands the importance of music and has the ability to write songs that transcend any and all boundaries. With her soft vocals and warm acoustic guitar, this singer-songwriter crafts intriguing and infectious ruminations on life, love, and so much more. We talk with Yuna about guitars, Lord of the Rings and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...

You got recognition through MySpace in 2006. How important is the social media process to your career and your fan base?

Its really important because I get to share my creativity to m fans, thats also a way from you to get your fans to take part in all the cool projects you have going on.

Pharrell produced your single "Live Your Life". How big of a departure was it to have a hip hop producer working on your music?

It was really new to me and I was a bit nervous in the begining, but it really open my eyes and I started looking into beats and hiphop influence that i could fuse into my music after that.
