Below is my interview for the double page spread article. At first I found this difficult as I was unsure how to write it, but research into other interviews helped:
It may just the beginning of the road for stunning new girl on the music scene, Sophie, but this blonde bombshell is already becoming a worldwide star. With her first single 'Ego' reaching number one, we thought we'd meet up with the bubbly 18-year-old London girl before she gets too famous to want to talk to us!
Wow, what a whirlwind past few months you've had! How are you?Yeah, it's been pretty amazing. I can't believe my luck to be honest! I'm great thanks, just so busy, I've barely had a chance to sit down!
Congratulations with your debut single 'Ego' reaching number one! Tell us a bit about that, what is the record about?Thanks, I'm over the moon! I never thought it would ever do this well. It's about a typical teenage girl's life, you know, heartbreak, feeling insecure, friends - and we always seem to know someone who's life is so much better than ours, you know, the ones who seem to have it all!
Bit like your life now then! Believe me, my life's not always been this exciting, everyone has their problems. I'm just starting out.
So how did you get into the music business and where did your love of music come from? Well, I've always loved music since I was tiny. I did the usual things like singing, dancing and acting classes and always took part in the school shows...I just never seemed to grow out of it! It wasn't easy to get where I am now though - I'd been giving demos out to record companies for ages and then I got a call from a record company saying that they loved my song 'Hard', which was the first song I ever wrote, and then they gave me a record deal.
Who are your insprirations then? Well, I grew up listening to artists like Mariah Carey. I absolutely love her. She's got such an amazing voice. I'd love to think I could be as big as her one day.
We've heard rumours that you might be working with Neyo. Are they true? Well I met him at the VMA awards and he said he would like to work with me at some point so its been spoken about but nothings certain yet. I'd love to work with him, he's worked with some amazing people like Rihanna, he's such a talented songwriter and such a nice person. It also helps that he's good looking!
So if you weren't singing, what would you be doing instead? To be honest, I have absoluetly no idea! Singing's the only think I've ever really wanted to do but if I had to choose I've always loved fashion and clothes so it would probably be something to do with that.
Who are you listening to at the moment then? I really love 3OH3!'s song with Katy Perry - Starstrukk. It's so catchy and a great dance and club tune, it really gets me in the mood for a night out with the girls. I'm an extreme party girl at heart!
Is it wierd being spotted by people and paparazzi when you're out now? Yeah I find it really strange; I keep thinking 'why do these people want my picture?' My friends think its great, we were coming out of a club the other night and the paparazzi were taking photos, there were flashes everywhere, my friends say they feel like they were on a catwalk! I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
Your on the line up for V festival, are you excited? I can't wait! It wasn't long ago that I was there with my friends and now I'm going to be on stage! It's amazing, I'm on stage with stars like Pixie Lott and Jay-Z, I can't believe it!
Your debut album is coming out next month. What can we expect? I've been working on this for ages, it takes me so long to write a song. I'll write about 20 songs and out of them 2 will go on the album and the rest will be crap! I'm very fussy but I think I've finally got an album that I'm happy with. All the songs are different so I guess you'll have to buy it and see what you think!
Finally, what are your plans for this year? Well, I've been busy with promo for the alnum so once thats over, I'm hoping everything might settle down so I'm planning an extreme clubbing holiday with the girls (laughs) and then once I'm back I'm gonna hopefully plan a tour and I guess I'll write more songs!
