This week

This is my final draft of my front cover. I have finished it this week.

 I kept the theme of the colours and the same few fonts of writing as well as using more interesting things like the start to make it look better. I may add to it next week with more pictures of different things.

 

These are my first draft of my interview:

Interview questions

First ever interview, we do feel honoured

So you’re new to all this music business. How you finding it?

Well, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life but I heard my favourite singer Demi Lovato because she had gone through the same thing I had so she inspired me to follow my dreams and quite frankly I love it.

In what way did she inspire you then?

Obviously she has been through bullying and mental health problems as well as self-harming and I have been through similar things and have a similar story as well as my dad dying and the loss of my dad made me go off the rails.

Sorry for your loss, did your dad dying help you to follow your dreams?

My dad taught me to never give up on my dreams even if you get turned down because one day you will get there.

That’s lovely and very inspiring for all your fans, so how are you finding fame? Is it what you expected?

To be honest I know other celebrity’s hate it but I love meeting my fans and telling them my story. I think about them more as my friends than my fans. I love hearing how I have helped them through bad parts of their lives more than anything. They’re all such lovely people and really they are the ones that have helped me.

How has fame changed your life?

Well I just couldn’t tell you how much its changed my life, words cannot describe it I've gone from living in a one bedroomed flat with my family to living in a house where everyone is so much happier and even though it isn’t about the money, money does help!*laughs* Music has changed my life.

What is it all about then?

Its all about making people aware, I would never want someone to go through what I have been through and feel like no one understands so I want them to know that when they listen to my music even though I am not there with them I understand and hope they can get through it.

So by the sounds of things most of the reason you are where you are is because of what you’ve been through?

Yes, talent is talent but it inspired me. I have more things to write about in songs and I have more emotions that I channel into my music. If you can sing but can’t write songs I don’t see the point really! It’s about songs as much as it is about the voice and a lot of my songs are all based around what I've been through.

So going through them things has helped you in a way?

I guess you could say that, going through them things has helped get me where I am today; I still wouldn’t wish it on anyone though. My dad was an amazing man and you never know if he was still here he might have pushed me to follow my dream!

No of course not, what advice would you give people who are going through the same type of things?

The most important thing is stay strong and believe in you. At the end of the day things will get better, maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but they will get better and if you don’t believe in yourself who else will believe in you? Every single person is amazing in this world and never let anyone tell you different.

That’s amazing advice, what are your plans for the future?

I want to carry on singing, of course. I plan to tour the world and do more concerts. I want to write more songs and hopefully make a new album by this time next year. As well as doing that I'm starting to build up my own charity and awareness for teenagers going through self-harming and to help parents deal with it. In this way I’m glad I earn a lot of money because my money can help everyone! Care to chip in?

Well I don’t think I earn as much as you! But I’m sure I can give a contribution!

Thank you! Every little helps to be honest! More people just need to be aware!

Definitely, thank you for doing your first ever interview with us! Must of taken a lot to start talking about your story, I’m sure you will make a big difference to many people’s lives and good luck with everything in the future, I’m sure we will be hearing from you soon.

Thank you! You’re right, you will be hearing from me very soon, and don’t think I’ve forgotten about the money either!

These are my interview questions, I like the questions and the answers I just need to make sure they are correct and make sense.
