I have read through various interviews to get some ideas about the sort of questions and answers usually found within the music industry.
This is the interview I have created for my magazine, using inspiration from other interviews I have read in current music magazines:
So Kasia, firstly, how are you!?
I’m really great thank-you, in fact—never better!
That’s good to hear! Is your recent success anything to do with it?
It is definitely a contributing factor! I can happily say I have no complaints about my life right now!
Your life hasn’t always been this way though ..
No it hasn’t, which makes me so, so grateful for what I now have.
So how has your life changed from what it used to be?
Well, growing up was far from easy. Living in a tenement block in central Glasgow with my mum and three younger brothers, it was very tough. I got in with a bad crowd at a young age, but thankfully realised what I’d got in to and decided to chase my childhood dreams of becoming a singer.
And now you’re the UK’s ‘hottest female artist’! How does it make you feel owning that title?
And now you’re the UK’s ‘hottest female artist’! How does it make you feel owning that title?
It is insane! (Laughs) It really is unbelievable! Little old Kasia Stone from Glasgow—the UK’s hottest artist!
Well you definitely deserve it! On to your music .. When is your new single set to release?
May 5th, I am so excited! It is one of my favourite tracks so far.
Not long to go then! What makes it such a special track?
It has a lot of meaning behind it, about my past, about the present and about everybody I love in my life.
Are we allowed to know the title?
You will have to wait and find out I’m afraid! (Giggles)
OK! While we’re talking about singles, congratulations on Fire of Love and Born Like That, the two number one singles of 2011!
Thank-you!
You’re very welcome! So, which festivals will you be performing at this summer, if any?
Yes, I most definitely will be performing at some of the UK festivals this summer! Glastonbury, The Isle of Wight festival and T in the Park are the ones I will be at! I really cannot wait, this will be the first time performing to crowds that big.
Wow, so you must be feeling nervous?
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but the excitement is definitely out-weighing the nerves! I just can’t wait to get out there and show everybody what I have to offer to the world of music!
World of music—brace yourself! Who are you most looking forward to see perform then Kasia?
(Laughs) Oooh, there are a few people I’m really excited to see, but Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Ed Sheeran are definitely top three.
Who is your inspiration for your music?
Who is your inspiration for your music?
Hmm, I don’t really have one person I use as an inspiration, I like to take inspiration from all sorts of people and events.
There must be one person you aspire to?
There must be one person you aspire to?
Ok, I do like Taylor Swift, however I would say I am a little more ’rock’ than she is. I just absolutely love her style, and she seems like such a nice girl!
Yes, I can see where you’re coming from there! So should we be expecting a Kasia/Taylor mix up any time soon?
Wow, wouldn’t that be amazing! (Giggles) We’ll see. Let me get my music out here in the U.K. first before we think of anything State-side! Although that does not mean I’m saying no!
We’ll look forward to that then! Do you have any plans to release an album any time soon?
Yes, I am currently in the middle of my first album, well, more towards the end than middle actually!
Ahh, great news for you fans then! Do you have a release date yet?
We don’t have an exact release date yet, but hopefully it should be end of June, start of July—watch this space!
No it isn’t long now, I can’t wait! Ooh now that would be telling ...
Go on ...
Alright then! There are fourteen songs on it, 2 of which you will already know—Fire of Love and Born Like That, and then twelve other songs obviously!
And are the other songs anything like what we’ve already heard?
No. I have tried to make each and every song original and different to the rest. Although, they may sound different and have different meanings, but all of them do have their own special meaning behind them.
Bring on the release! I cannot wait to hear this now! Do you write all the lyrics yourself?
Yes, all my songs have been written by me. I feel that way the meaning behind them is true and easier for people to relate to. It is also one of my favourite things to do—there is nothing better than settling down at night with some chocolate and a bottle of wine and writing song lyrics.
There’s nothing better than songs written from the heart is there? Well Kasia it has been an absolute pleasure having you in today, and everybody here at MYL would like to wish you all the luck for the future (not that you need it), and I can assure you I’ll be first in line on May 5th!
Thankyou so much!
