After lending vocals in support of the ongoing fight in Arizona over immigration laws, Alexandra Taveras is thankful to R&B singers Mya and Shontelle for reaching out and supporting her decision to offer support through song.

"I’m deeply humbled and honored to have my fellow artists back me up and to stand for the same thing that I’m standing for, but you know coming from them such big artists in the industry, it means a whole lot," Taveras says of Mya and Shontelle. "It really, I’m honored to have them stand by me.”

Taveras decided to lend her voice to the growing chorus of individuals speaking out via two songs, two captivating calls to action – one in English and one in Spanish – titled "Land of the Free/Tierra de la Libertad" on the website,www.ArizonaApartheid.com.

"I was asked to be involved and I was so happy to do it because I feel like it’s a very important cause to stand against this new law in Arizona number one and number two I feel like I’m actually contributing and doing whatever I can," she tells Chris Yandek of CY Interview. "I feel that it’s the very least that I can do to lend my voice to this cause."
