Research & Planning: My interview With My Main Model

* How old were you when you realized that singing was something you wanted to do as a career?
My mother constantly played rock music when I was a child and I remember that I used to sing along and it just started from there.

*What artist would you say has had the biggest impact on you and has been your biggest inspiration and why?
Hayley Williams from Paramore. She has the most powerful voice! She's a great role model for young girls and puts so much honesty into her lyrics.

Is rock your favourite genre of music? If not, why do yo think you based your career around that?

I would say rock was. However, I do like other genre's. I listen to rap a lot as I think they speak the truth which is something I love in an artist.


Who's concert was the first that you ever went to see as a child? 
Avril Lavigne was my first gig. It was the Best Damn Thing Tour. I was standing and I ended up getting hit in the mosh pit; It was awesome!

What would say your favourite part of being a current music artist and why?

The live shows, the fans go crazy! I love that fans come to appreciate my music and also have fun whilst listening to it.

Do you prefer performing live at a concert then, or working in a recording studio?

Both. Working in a studio is fun because you can experiment with your voice and change different problems. On the other hand when your doing a concert you get to run around and the audience gets to see the real you.

What made you want to sing solo rather than sing in a band? 
Being in a band is fun but you can have disagreements and fall out so I think that when you sing solo it's easier to portray your personal feelings.

Where do you get your inspiration from when you're writing your songs? 
I get my inspiration from my life experiences and friends lives. I like to write about the truth and give my fans my honesty.

How was it, growing up with people treating you differently? Did you miss your normal life at all?
Well I never enjoyed school. I never fit in as the other girls called me as I hung around with boys. I was always a tomboy, I never wanted to play with dolls. Haha.

What instruments do you play and how old were you when you first started? What made you want to start?
My mum found her acoustic guitar and I found it amazing! My sister also played piano and I picked that up from her. Then eventually I started playing the drum and bass.

Who's your closest famous friend and how did you meet?
Taylor Momson from the band 'The Pretty Wreckless.' We were at a film premiere a few years ago and just hit off from there. She's one of the funniest people ever!!

What's the nicest thing one of your fans has ever done for you?
When my picture was leaked. A fan was tweeting messages of support to my family and myself. He also made 10 facebook groups to support me.I appreciated that as he showed his love for me and made me feel like I wasn't alone.
