In this blog post, I am going to show you the contents of my the article for my double page spread.
Hannah maybe the freshest face on the pop scene but shufflin has an exclusive interview with this new artist. Less than a year ago she was just a normal girl now she is on her way to the top. It looks like 2012 is going to be a big year for Hannah
Hannah, what has the last year been like for you?
It has been a bit of a roller coaster ride to be honest because I was just singing in pubs and small concerts in my home town now I’m in London recording my new single.
It must be exciting?
Yes, it is very exciting but it is also very nerve racking because you never know if people going to buy the single.
Can you explain to us a bit about your new single?
Well, it is based on some of my songs that I used to write in my room back home. So this song really connects with me. It is about trying to be strong after a break up but I hope the listener can still hear the sadness to the story as well.
Wow, sounds like you have been through heart break. Do you think that helps you create better songs?
Yes I have had my fair share of heart break but I have used song writing to get across my feeling when I feel like I can’t say them.
Do you think people will be able to relate to you?
I hope so; I mean I really did come out of nowhere. I live in a small village in the North of England so nothing really happens up there. I hope that people can relate to the songs that I sing because they are about things that normal people go through all the time.

What do your family and friends think of the new you?
They are all really proud of me for what I have achieved so far. I don’t think my friends can really believe that I have been in a studio and I’m recording my own songs that they have heard me singing in my room.
What does your mother think about all this?
Emm, she is really supportive of what i want to do and she has always told me to try my best and that's all I can do. So I think if i give this my best shot then she will be proud of me no matter what.
Some people change when they get in to the public eye. Have you changed or are you planning to?
I personally don’t think that I have changed in the way that i write music or the way I preform either, some people might think that I have but the most important thing to me is what my family think of me. As long as you stick to where you come from and as long as I am happy in what I am doing then I can’t go wrong.
Good for you. Do you have any one that you look up to in the music industry or back home?Growing up I used to listen to Michael Jackson and quite a few 80’s songs because that was what my family listened to. As I got older I wanted to be like Beyonce or Madonna. I also look up to my mother, I come from quite a big family and she was an amazing cook and always did what was right for her family. She was not one to sit around, she wanted to be doing something with her children.
Your Mother sounds like a amazing woman. Did she inspire any of your songs?
There is one song that I wrote quite a few years ago about her. It was me talking about her as if she was not there anymore and what I would do with out her.
Sounds like it is an emotional song with deep meaning for you. Do you think that that song would go on your album?
I’m not sure yet we are in the early stages of my album but I would love for it to be there for people to listen to. My mother and I are very close and it is a song that reflects that and I think that lots of people have the same relationships with their mothers.
You said before about that you look up to Beyonce and Madonna. What is it about those artists that you like so much?
Well Beyonce started her career very young and had been around for a long time, as has Madonna. So I have grown up listening to their music trying to sing along with them my room. Madonna has changed her style so many times and has come back to the pop scene again and again. She does not let her age get in the way of making music. Beyonce has an amazing voice with such a range to it; it seems effortless for her to belt out one of her classics. She shows me that women do run the world and she is music’s woman in charge.
Is there any artist in particular that you would like to work with?
There are so many amazing artists out there but it would be amazing to work with someone like Beyonce, Madonna. I also really like Bruno Mars’s songs so it would be cool if we could work together, but I think that might not happen or in the very distant future. I need to become a bit better known first.
We are sure that you will get to duet with them.What does the 2012 hold for you?
Thank you, well I am hoping that my new single is a success and that I get to create an album to go along with it. So there is going to be a lot of song writing in the next few months. My manager is trying to see if he can get me in to Leeds Fest or other festivals.
Leeds Fest, what would that mean to you?
It would be a very important moment for me, getting my music out there. I think I will be very excited if I did get to do it.
Have you had to sacrifice anything to get where you are now?
No I would not say that, my manager is very understanding of the type of music that I want to make and produce.
Sounds like you are going to have an amazing year and we wish you well.
