On Music Monday, we had a special guest on the show. She is a singer-songwriter from Dearborn Heights who goes to Wayne State University. She has even performed her music on a national stage. Isrra Darwich appeared on “Live In The D” to talk about her musical journey.
When asked when did she realized she wanted to start writing music and playing the guitar, Darwich said it happened in high school. She says she wrote poetry, decided to start writing music, and used YouTube to teach herself how to play the guitar. As a way to improve her mental health, she decided to start making music.
While being a student and an accomplished musician might be challenging, it can also be rewarding. Israa says that during the week, she works on school and records new music on the weekends.
The song she sang in the studio is called “Lavender Tea,” and it’s about meeting a stranger and falling for the idea of them.
To see her sing her original song, check out the video above.
