Research: Interview Writing

2017 has been a new start for the rising pop artist, Olivia. She has started out travelling and believing in her dreams and is now here with us as a successful 17 year old answering some questions and telling us how her life is going so far. 

Q: How did you get started with music?
A: I started off when I was very young with the support from my family and friends. It started off as just hobby, I would pick up my guitar every once in awhile and would just let all my emotions out through the use of my words. Over time I realised I had a strong passion for music and wanted to pursue it further so I began to take music classes in school which includes staying after school for hours. My music teacher also pushed me whenever I had a bad day and helped me use music as a distraction or a get away. As I remember, words flew right out of my mouth, it all came together. It made me happy and I never gave up...

Q: Why pop?/How long have you been writing songs and performing cover songs? 
A: As many teenagers do, I went through many phases with music. My love for music was courageous and I discovered lots of different genres I never thought existed. For example, when I was 13 I was into rock and electric but gradually got hooked into acoustic and pop therefore here I am today in love with pop. I was also greatly influenced by many artists and Bands.

Q: Who has inspired you throughout the years? 
A: Well...many people have! My family, in particular my mum, has showed huge amount of support as she never gave up on me which has also made me motivate myself.

Q: Were you thrilled to hear that your new release was on the top 10 charts? 
A: Obviously I was pleased and in joy as I remember going out to celebrate with my mates and received much love from my family. However, I’d say I wasn’t shocked as I know I’ve worked hard and deserved it. I’m already thinking of going further...above and beyond.

Q: What was the story behind your recent release? 
A: As you might have realised, I like to correspond my style with my music on the whole. Sometimes I do dress a bit different depending on my environment but I do like to stick to what I feel comfortable in and like to almost impress myself really.

Q: I have heard you like to travel, what are your top places to visit? 
A: Yes! Other than Music, travelling is another passion for me as I enjoy taking photographs for memories. I love to visit sentimental and historical cityscapes to get some inspiration as well as to just relax, taking in fresh air. My top places to visit would be Kyoto (Japan), New York (USA) and Barcelona (Spain).

Q: As you have previously mentioned you said you never gave up, what made you stay productive and motivated? 
A: I’m an ordinary human being just like anyone else, I have struggled with many problems including stress and have fallen into depression not long ago. However, I have always picked myself back up as I know what I am capable of and the talent I can show to the world. Many people as mentioned previously have also helped me and I am so thankful for those people but the major key in my life right now would be to believe in yourself and never give up.

Q: Who would you collab with? 
A: Ahh, that’s a tough one! Of the top of my head, I’ve always been a fan of Justin Bieber and can see how far he’s come from such a young age which inspires me to do the same. I’d like to work with someone who’s fun but knows when to be serious and down to business.

Q: Any upcoming music releases to look forward to?/Do your fans (your audience) have anything special to look forward to? 
A: Well you’re going to have to keep your eyes out for that! What I can say is my future releases will be about my past as I feel my fans don’t know much about me and I would very much like them to know. I want my fan base to feel as though we are a family, as I love my supporters very much and is the least I could do for them.

Q: What’s your overall message for your music? 
A: At the moment, I haven’t released much content therefore cannot put an overall message as of yet as each piece I make may have a different meaning and reason behind it. Nevertheless, I want my music to bring happiness and I’ll always try my best to put out a positive message. As a reminder to all those who look up to me, I am not a role model, I myself make mistakes and may be “rebellious” in certain circumstances but don’t take my lead. Be yourself and have fun.





This was my final and improved interview write up however did not have time to go back and improved little details however is still roughly the same in my final DPS. However, I have changed the purple writing to blue in order to match my feature colours as well as the blue working well with the DPS from the model's hair.
