Interview on the solo artist for my double paged spread

This month's interview is on a brand new artist called, Misty Prophet, we at Tune up! can already tell that she is going to be big!

When did you start singing and think that this is going to be my career?

• Well, I started singing from a very young age. I was probably about 7 when I started, I just enjoyed it so much that I would be singing all the time. I then also got a lead role in a production  at 16 which encouraged me to develop my singing and performance skills. I decided to try and become a famous solo artist because I really love singing and used to record tracks in my bedroom. By the time I was 19 I decided that this is what I wanted to do and no one was going to stop me.

I heard that you're planning on raising money for charity? How will you be doing that?

• Yeah, I am actually really excited. I am planning on doing a concert where I am trying to get various modern artists of this century to perform, I am also performing my newest single, and there is also a surprise! The tickets will be around £20.00 each so hopefully everyone will be able to afford them and every single bit of the money will be going to charity.

What is your charity?

• Well, I am visiting Africa next summer for the comic relief appeal so I am planning on raising it for them.Just £10.00 can buy medical care for a family so they can live normal and healthy lives. I am really looking forward to it, but I am also a little nervous.

What is your favorite artist at the moment? And who inspires you?

• There are so much to choose from, I mean there has been so many successful talented artists in the past few years. My favorite rock band would have to be Green Day, however they haven't bought much out recently. The female artists that inspire me would have to be Beyonce and Lady Gaga as I feel that they have great voices and are amazing performers. But I am going to give my music more Rock theme!, electric guitars, Drums, Bass. 

 What has been the highlight of your life so far?

• I think that this is my highlight, being known around the world and being what I have always dreamed to be.... It's a dream come true, I can't believe that it happened to me.

What are you looking forward to in the future?

• Well, obviously the charity event and future concerts. I am also really looking forward to going to Africa, it will be really inspiring and an eye opener about how much worse off than us other people can be. It's all going to be a happy and at times emotional but I'm ready for whatever life brings me!

What artists are you hoping to work with?
I would be honoured to work with any artists to be completely honest as long as they don't change my musical style too much. There are a few classic artists who would be a dream to work with. But on the whole, I would prefer to work with more modern artists and maybe produce a few number ones.

 Do you ever feel nervous when performing?
Yes!! Before every performance I get extremely nervous, but I have amazing fans so I get through it! I always get worried that something will go wrong but so far nothing has and I am very thankful to all the crew.

Do you have anything that brings you luck that you take on stage whilst performing?
Yes, I have my guitar as it has been passed down through my family for generations. It was the guitar that my father learnt to play on, I always feel calmer knowing that he is near by.

It's been a pleasure meeting you goodluck for the future!
Thanks.
