How is the new
found fame treating you?
Quite well, I’m really enjoying myself. There are
obviously some down sides like the made up stories in the press and the people
who don’t like what you’re doing but I haven’t come across many of those.
Have any other
celebrities given you advice about how to deal with the media?
Yeah they have actually! Jessie J called me the other day
and was just telling me to stay true to myself and to not read the comments in
the newspapers and on the social networking sites because she doesn’t want them
to upset me like they did her.
We also heard
Beyoncé has had some kind words to say, what can you tell us about that?
Yeah I was in New York a few weeks ago recording and to
my surprise Beyoncé walked through the door and said she had heard some of the
material from my debut album and that she thought I had a great tone to my
voice. That was amazing for somebody of her calibre to say something like that
to me, the small town girl from Yorkshire.
Would you say
Beyoncé is one of your idols?
Oh definitely, she’s amazing! To have even a quatre of
her success would be more than enough for me.
Do other artists
influence your music?
I suppose, I pride myself on being individual and
original but if I like an artist or a song I will think about how they have made
the track successful and try to incorporate that into my own work.
That sounds like a
good idea! What type of music do you usually listen to?
I love a bit of everything except heavy metal, I can’t
understand why people enjoy that sort of thing but I suppose everybody is
different. I love old school R&B like Boyz II Men, Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo,
R-Kelly and Trey Songz. The relaxing vibe to that kind of music is great
especially with the type of schedule I have.
Oh yes I love that
too! Speaking of your schedule, what do you miss the most about your old
lifestyle?
Seeing my family and friends whenever I want to. It has been very hard to come to terms with that and also
just being able to walk to the shop or sit in a cinema screening without being
noticed. I miss the “normal” things that you take for granted.
I bet that’s hard!
Yeah it really is. I mean I don’t get recognised all the
time, in London it’s a different story but especially back home I can’t go
anywhere. It’s a compliment though!
Yeah, a great
compliment. What is your favourite part of the job?
I think my favourite bit is getting to travel the world
and meeting lots of new people. My fans are amazing! If I’m in a city and they
find out, I have people trying to find me to meet me. Touring is something I
have always wanted to do and also recording across the world is great!
If you could
record or shoot a video anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Definitely Australia or the Caribbean! I love warm
weather and when I was a child one of my best friends moved to Oz and I haven’t
seen her since so I would love to go there and see her again, whilst working of
course!
Great choices,
Australia is on my bucket list too. Now finally what would you like to have
achieved by this time next year?
I would love to have had a successful tour and debut
album, they’re my dreams. By this time in two years I would love to have done
an arena tour!
We like this, an
ambitious and down to earth girl. Thank you for talking to us Scarlett, see you
soon!
My pleasure!
