We chat to the new popular group ‘ZINC’ to get all the latest gossip
and find out some interesting info! ZINC are a fresh current band
who have popped up out of nowhere in the music industry and are
taking the world by storm .Their young hip-hop image is causing right
fashion statements all over the world and seems to be very popular
with younger audiences. Surly this famous life isn’t as good as it
sounds. Or is it??? What inspires you when writing your music?
I suppose us as a group loved our young teenage lives and base our
music around memories we had. We want the current generation to
have what we had so we make our music fresh, dancy and stylish.
Does anyone in particular influence your music? To be honest i think
us together influence each other when coming up with new ideas for
songs, like i said the majority of past albums have been about
memories. However, having said that we do have a lot of artist who
are very inspirational in the sense of how far they have come and
where we would like to see ourselves in a few years. For example
Justin Bieber, Beyoncé, Little MIX and One Direction. They have all
been on a fantastic journey and we would like to follow in their
footsteps. Do you get nervous before going on stage? Erm of course i
don’t think we have ever had a time where we haven’t got
nervous but we think getting nervous before the show is a good
thing because it gives you that rush of adrenaline. All those
butterflies just make you more excited to go out there and do what
we love to do! Perform! What personal advice would you give
someone wanting to pursue this career? I think we would have to say
just be yourself, there is no point in being fake in this industry
because it just doesn’t work. Also just have fun with it, you can’t be
too up tight and bothered about what people think of you.
Everyone is going to have different opinions about you but that’s just
2. life. What is the hardest part of the job? The hardest part of the job
for us has to be the touring side, only because you’re away from
family and friends. Don’t get us wrong we love touring; it’s just
difficult being away for so long. When did you decide to create a
band? We all decided to form ZINC about 5 years ago.
We all knew we wanted to be singers and singer songwriters as our
carers but to be honest our parents thought of the idea of a band.
And about 2 months later we were all in a studio creating our first
album which was called ‘home’. Have you had any struggles along
the way to where you are now? Erm, I wouldn’t say we have had
many struggles along the way, the main one is probably when we
were on tour and were currently in Canada, and all of a sudden
Olivia, Lauren and Josh fell ill and literally none of them had a voice.
However we still managed to perform and put on a good show so it
was okay in the end. What are your goals for the future? Long term
goals for us would be to still be touring all over the world and to have
hit No1’s in as many countries as possible. We just want to create
new current music for everyone to enjoy and listen to them.
If you could perform with anyone in the near future who would it be
and why? Erm, this is a tricky one. We have many artists which we
would love to perform with but if we had to pick one we would have
to say Beyoncé because she has so much experience in the industry
and she has an amazing voice and talent. Do you have any events
coming up or recording going on right now? We are performing at
Capital FM’s summer ball and Key 103 live this year, which is very
exciting and we are looking forward to these events. And at the
minute we are currently recording our next albums which will be out
on sale on the 24th of April 2016. When are your next tours? Well
were still recording in the studio at the moment so hopefully it will
be sometime in July and August, after the album has come out on
sale. We can’t wait for this next album to be on sale we hope you
3. enjoy our songs and were very excited about seeing our fans at
upcoming events and tours. Is it true one of you girls dated Justin
Bieber once? Yeah, it was me Lauren; we were together just before I
met these for about 2 years
