Double page spread interview


 When did you start singing?
 
I always used to sing around the house, in the shower (she giggles), anywhere really but my singing career didn't start till I was 16, that was when I starred as Sandy in a Grease musical, after that I was signed to a label but didn't release any music till I was 18.
 
You're now a house artist how did this love of house come about?
 
Well it happened last year, I wanted to take a year out and just relax because the last 3 years I haven't had a real holiday and was constantly working, so I went to a few festivals and then went on a long holiday in Ibiza that's where I met James (Smith). We had met at a festival and talked for a bit but that was it until Ibiza. We met up and I went to one of his concerts that's when asked me to come on stage and sing.
 
Do you regret starting as a pop artist?
 
No never as that was my first passion. Yes maybe I regret some of the hairstyles I had and the clothing I wore, doesn't everyone but not the music. My very first song I produced got into the top 40 charts although it was at number 38 it was my first song ever produced and it still got in and I was so proud of myself, just because I've changed genres and grown doesn't mean I regret being a pop artist.
 
 
Do you feel like your fans agree with your changes to house?
 
Hopefully they embrace the change but I have grown up and changed, I'm not a little girl anymore, I have found my maturity. As I have matured my fans matured and if they don't agree with my change that's fine everyone has different genres of music they ;like and don't, yet most of my fans have liked the change and they like the new me and my new music, which I'm so glad of. Me and my music have matured.
 
What was your most memorable moment of your career?
 
Most memorable moment. That's a tough one. I would have to say when I was holiday and James asked me to come on stage and sing on his tracks that was amazing I felt quite free when I was doing that as it was such an amazing experience.
 
Now that you've changed will you do collaboration?
 
I want to do more collabs definitely. I'd love to collab with Calvin Harris for sure and to be able to collab with David Guetta and Avicii that would be amazing, but I would want to do more collabs with my boyfriend James (Smith).
 
Do you miss your family and friends when your doing concerts and gigs?
 
Yes and no, that sounds awful doesn't it (she laughs) but I have a family in the form of my production team but I do miss my mum and dad. Nothing is better than a big cuddle from my mum and dad.
These are the questions on my double page spread.
