Assignment 2 - Interview

When and how did you first become interested in music?

I became interested in music when I was just five years old. I took classes for singing when I was seven                                                                 

What are the songs on your album ‘Odd’ about?

     

All the songs that are in my album are based on real stories that happened to me when I was in school.

                   

 What was the song ‘End’ about?

End is about one of my friends that passed a few years ago in a car accident, which made me realise that life is short and at any moment your life can end.

           

Why did you chose to name your album odd and how does it relate to the photo of the album cover?

I chose odd to be the albums name, because as  I told you I had a hard time in school and people thought that I was weird, so I chose the word odd as my albums name. The photo shows a puppet that is surrounded by fluffy bears, which makes the puppet looks odd. 

So how did your family support you during your journey?

Wile my mother was supporting me, my father was not so supportive. He used to say that I will fail and that I will not be successful, but after my tour he started to support me more than my mother did so I can fairly say that my family supported me during my journey to fame. 

How were you discovered?

Well one day I was sitting outside my school and singing then a man (which is my manager now) passed by and stopped five feet away from me and came back, he commented on my voice being unique and rare. He also told me that I can be famous and gave me his business card. I went back home and I told my mother about what happened, so the next day she called him and got me an appointment with him. Few days later I was asked to come back, he offered me the job.

How did your life change after you started your career?

People now know me so i can’t leave my house without many personal bodyguard. Life  is getting harder but i don’t mind it, I now can tack risks that I would never do a few years ago. Im having a lot of fun now with my friends and family, last year was the first time me and my family flew abroad to France it was the best holiday ever. After my first album was released i payed the fees of my sisters education, she is now a doctor. Im so grateful to what happened.

What do you see your self doing in 10 years?

I imagine my self sitting on a couch with three running around and my pregnant wife beside me.

What would you be if you were not a singer?

If I was not a singer, i would probably be a doctor, pilot or an engineer. I always wanted a high salary job.

How did you react when you were first noticed on the streets of LA?

It actually happened five minutes after my first song was released, I was walking my casual walk from the studio to my flat, when five kids stoped me and took a selfie with me. It was a bit acquired and uncomfortable, but after my twentieth time meeting a fan, it became something normal and easy to do. It made me feel comfortable meeting new people for the first time, which I hated to do. 

What advice do you have for your audience?

Life is short, and your life is valuable. You can make a difference by following your dreams. Do not let anyone tell you that you will not make it to the top. Believe in your self and live life, because you are worth it.
