First draft of my double page spread article

The new girl on the block known for her: singing, song writing, kooky fashion sense and her infamous party antics, Jessica Wynter. We discuss how it all started, inspirations and what really happened on tour INT: Wassup Jess? And thanks for dealing with us at the fine hour *yawn* J: I’m afraid it’s all part of the job, early mornings with 101 questions; it’s a good job I like you guys. INT: oh we feel privileged, our readers have been begging in their thousands to feature you in our next issue, now here we are. An undying question that we need to know is how did you get started in the industry? J: well I was brought up in a council estate where there’s not much apart to do apart from cause nuisance, where people didn’t get very far in life, and dreams and aspirations were non-existent. As you know I’m not the usual teen and I chose not to conform to the community. I knew what I wanted better. My music teacher at school spotted I had talent and from there used her connections to get me in touch with an independent record label called ‘LDN Productions’. From there I was broadcasted on City Shark radio. Yeah I’d never heard of it either… but I gave it a try and a scout from sbtv magically happened to be listening and I was called to meet at their HQ. After liaising I recorded one of my own tracks which they distributed for me online. And that was it really I then became a ‘viral phenomenon’ I think I’ve been described as… INT: Wow, as easy as that! J: I think it was just pure luck, in the industry it’s generally about who you know, not how good or talented you are. All I have to say is thank you Miss B! And thank god for YouTube. INT: We heard you have refused to record any song which you haven’t participated in writing, is this true? J: As a matter of fact this is true, unless the right song come about which I agree resembles me. My dream when I was younger was to become a song writer, I didn’t think I had the ‘look’ to perform or be in front of a camera. I just always hoped I’d hear others singing my lyrics which some star would make millions out of. But now I’m a star and I want to represent myself as honestly as possible, and the only way I think I can do so is by writing my own lyrics. INT: Ideally, who would you like to collaborate with? J: I would love to collab with Jessie J because I know she has a profound persona which is attention grabbing and just outright crazy. And the other starlet I would have said is Rihanna, but guess whose already done that *laughs* INT: Yes we know, and we love that track! How did you find performing with Rihanna at her 777 tour? J: words can’t describe, honestly… we co-wrote the track around a month before and we were both like that is the one! We called Guetta up and he mixed us up a banging track. Bingo. The feeling was amazing performing in sell out arenas with every single person singing back to you, it was like an out of body experience.
