Double Page Spread Interview

This is my first draft of my double page spread interview.

Me: You recently got your first number one, how did you feel?

Riggsy: It felt great! I had never been so happy before, (massive grin) it has always been my dream to do this as my career.

Me: Were your family supportive with the career path you chose to go down?

Riggsy: (Slight laugh) we could say that! They weren't as supportive as I would of liked them to be at the beginning of all of this, but they came to terms fairly quickly.

Me: Whys that then?

Riggsy: Well… (Looks disappointed) he wanted me to get into the family business which is gardening but I never really felt that enthusiastic about it as singing has always been the thing I’m good at and enjoy.

Me: Well at least you have their support now. What does your partner think with all that has happened?

Riggsy: She has been great! Really supportive and has helped me come to terms with it all, she just wants the best from me and would be happy with whatever I had chose to do.

Me: How did you meet her?

Riggsy: It was really romantic actually, it was on holiday where we had been staying in the same hotel, and we got on well throughout the holiday as friends and decided to stay in touch after. So it all lead on from there!

Me: So back to the music, the lyrics in your songs, are they from experience and how you felt?

Riggsy: Of course they are. I don’t think you could write a piece of music without talking from experience. Otherwise it wouldn’t be telling the truth, music helps through good times and bad, you can write a song for anything you're going through and it really helps.

Me: In the future who would you like to see yourself collaborating with?

Riggsy: I would really like to work with Craig David, he has always been one of my favourite artists, and it would be amazing to come up with a song with him!

Syd: I plan to win myself a VMA in the near future, that would be a great honour!

BR: So you think your music is going to take on the public well?

Syd: From the success of my first single I really hope it does! I would be disappointed if it
didn’t.

BR: That’s a good attitude to have as a solo artist. What’s your plans for the next ten years then?

Syd: I would like to see my still successful in this career in ten years time, however if this does not happen id like to move over to the med somewhere, that’s always been a plan of mine.

BR: That does sound nice! What is your favourite artist around at the moment?

Syd: Me (he laughs), not really, id say my favourite is the female artist Pixie Lott, I think she is fantastic. Close behind her I would say Lady GaGa, I am very impressed with her success the last few years that it has really inspired me.

BR: We think exactly the same as you! There are some great artists around.

Syd: This makes it harder for me doesn’t it with all their success!

BR: And finally what would you like your readers and fans to know about you?

Syd: (Smiles) My album is released on the 23rd February, so get to the shops! And I appreciate the support all my fans already have given me!
