Music magazine interview. (questions and answers)

Music magazine interview.

1.     As we both know, after your major career breakthrough in 2010, you disappeared for a while. Now that your back, your even bigger! What do you see for yourself in the future?

ANSWER: To be honest , every time I look back at what I've done with my life , I think “I didn't see this coming”. So when I think about my future , all I can think is “Something’s coming and I can’t even see what it is”. but I know for sure I have a lot more to give to the world and my career in the music industry has only shared a sand grain compared to what’s coming.

2.      Speaking of your disappearance from the music industry, what did you get up to in your four year break?

ANSWER: I was going through a lot in my life at the time. I had started to lose relationships that were very important to me and I realised that fame had gotten to my head. So I paused my career in order to get my priorities straight and re-connect with people in my life that I needed. Now I have come back stronger than ever and have more support from my loved ones than I could possibly ask for. 

3.     What or who inspired your recent track?

It was actually inspired by someone I had been taking for granted when fame was getting to my head. As I mentioned earlier, my priorities weren't straight and the person who inspired this track helped me a lot throughout my career break. There were times where I had no one and didn't know who I was any more but somehow this special someone always managed to get me on my feet without the slightest bit of judgement coming from her side. She’s an incredible person and I can’t think of anyone else who I would rather dedicate this track to.

4.     Are there more feelings than most for this special someone?

ANSWER: Yes, definitely. For the first time in a very long time she managed to make me see the positive things ahead of me and when I imagined those positive things happening, she was always right there next to me. And I plan on seeing her in my future until I no longer have a future.

5.     There are lots of rumours going around. What collaborations are you considering?

Answer: At the moment there are three, one of which must unfortunately remain a secret until the release date. But the other two artists are both female and very successful. Florence Welch is one and then also the wonderful Santi Gold. I'm actually very excited! They’re both extremely talented people and I've never had as much fun in a recording studio as I did with Florence. It’s almost as if her emotional connection with the music runs through you as she produces these amazing vocals. It’s truly been an amazing experience.

6.     To help all the upcoming superstars who are reading this interview, what keeps you going when you feel like giving up?

ANSWER: well definitely my special person (chuckle). But for those of you who don’t have a special person, it’s definitely the end result. When I feel like a track is going nowhere , I tend to listen to my older records which make me think of the fact that I felt like giving up on them all but sticking in their helped me achieve the amazing career the finally products helped me to get.

7.     What would you say is the most valuable lesson the music industry has taught you?

ANSWER: To not believe everything the press say. Of course interviews are different which is why I agreed to this one, because it’s direct quotes. But articles in gossip magazines and newspapers twist a story around like tornadoes are the latest fashion. You never know how bad it is until you experience it first hand, which is why I don’t even read the press any more. Of course I stay up to date with the news but as soon as a celebrity’s lifestyle is involved, I lose interest. I take nothing they say about me seriously and the sooner you learn to do that the better.

8.     People tend to have a rebellious perception of the fame life. How do you feel about this?

ANSWER: I think it depends on what you do with your life. I'm not going to lie, there are many celebrities who choose to live life like they show it on the movies. There are also many , like me , who enjoy the money in a responsible way but love the feeling of success  and love of music more than anything. But the doors to go down bad roads are much larger when you have this life.

9.     Besides yourself of course, which artist would you say is the easiest for you to relate to?

ANSWER: It all depends on what mood I'm in. I tend to enjoy Macklemore when I'm in a good mood but when I get serious about life, I relate quite easily to ‘Florence and the machine’ as well as Hozier. I actually own all three of their latest albums. I think they've got so much talent and their lyrics actually have meaning unlike some artists in the industry today.

Press Release.

A new music magazine for the United Kingdom.

For immediate release.

13 November 2014 – Bauer Media will officially be publishing EXPOSE Magazine in January 2015. EXPOSE Magazine is designed to inform readers between the ages of 16 and 21 about the music industry and how to get into the music business. It will include information such as the latest artist news as well as sharing ideas on how to make it in the music industry. This will attract our target audience because their age is the same as the age at which most artists become successful and will therefore help musicians across the country get onto the right path to success. Articles about fashion advice will also be included but of course will relate to other topics in the magazine.

The unique selling point of this magazine is that although it is a British magazine, it will interview both female and male artists and bands from across the world that will be chosen by the readers for each issue. We will achieve this by including a contact number on each printed and online issue as well as have an app that allows you to vote which you can download from the app store. Another thing that this magazine will include in order to get more readers to buy the medium is a monthly ITunes voucher with a free song from whoever the artist is that is focused on in that specific issue.

EXPOSE magazine will be available monthly at all news agents, local supermarkets, and post offices and online to download for a price. This magazine will not be expensive as the target audience are in education and have part time jobs and therefore do not have money to waste. The intended target audience are teenagers / young adults that have a great amount of interest in music and becoming musicians in their future. They are both male and female and have high goals in life.
