1. Interview
I have created a draftinterview, which featured the famouspop, jazz
and soulsigner Paloma Faith. I have created these questions because
of my musicmagazine, Q magazine. This is because I have created a
style of magazine, which is about herself, her musicand her fashion
so she will feel comfortablewith the questions.
I know that I couldn’tget a real interview with PalomaFaith, for my
question so I received my information about PalomaFaith from
perviousinterviewsshe as donefrom IBM.TV. I also, got my
information from differentwebsite.
Interviewer: Hello Nicole. It’s good to meet with you – how are you?
NICOLE: Good to be finally meeting with you, very excited to be here. I’ve been
good, thanks.
Interviewer: Congratulation, for winning your first Brits award for British
Female Solo Artist this year.
NICOLE: Thank you, I was very happy that I finally won a Brits award, after I had
been nominated three times and never won a Brits award before. So, this was
very special for me when I won my first Brits award.
Interview: Does being famous affect your day to day life?
NICOLE: No, because I have made a conscious effect to stay with the same
friends, do the same things and go to the same places. This is because my
friends can’t afford to go to posh or fancy place with me, so I go with them to do
cheap and cheerful things (laugh). So I am so relaxed with my friends, so I’m
always forgetting that I am in the public eye. So, when people ask for a photo
with me, I still find it really weird.
Interview: Who is your biggest inspiration ?
NICOLE: Well… I would say Etta James. She is a singer between the 50s and 60s.
I tell people that she was like a teacher because I never had any singing lesson as
I would copy the style of her vocals. I have had singing lesson now because I
need to know the techniques to save my voice. Another artist I admire is Billie
Holiday and all the old singers.
Interview: So, you are known for your retro and eccentric style as well as
your voice. So you explain what you are wearing now.
NICOLE: Well, I am wearing everything from the high-street. So the top and the
trousers are from H&M and these shoes are from New Look. The beret is from
eBay, they come in lots of colours. When I was an opening act for Prince, he did
say to me that I was one of the best dressed people in the music industry at the
moment. So that was quite nice.
2. Interview: So I heard that you have donedone a bit of acting during your
career as a singer, What have you been in and have you auditioned to do
anything else?
NICOLE: Well, I appeared in one episode of Holby Blue , which is on the BBC. I
played a thief. (Laugh) also I was in St Trinians in 2007 as an extra. I’ve been in
other acting roles for example I was cast in Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctors
Parnassus. I did audition for Kickass 2 but I have never got a call back.
Interview: Don’t worry, I will watch it. I heard a rumour that you have
started making your fourth album, as you announced it at Glastonbury
Festival. Can you give anything away?
NICOLE: That is true, I am in the process of making the albums. I’m not going to
say anything yet. The song Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix did inspire me for my
fourth album. It’s going to be a surprise. That’s all I'm going to say.
Interview: What are you hoping to do in the future?
NICOLE: I want to continue making music, have a career and have a family one
day. I also want to travel with my work because I have done lots in the UK and I
am happy with the support I have received. But, I'm not well known around the
world, that is my next aim.
This interview is sadly coming toward the end, so would you ever stop
singing?
NICOLE: I will never stop singing as long as I live. Singing is my life and I enjoy
myself and I just have so much fun doing it. Sometimes it feels like I am living in a
dream world or something.
