Interview with Emma M
Emma M made a grate success during her time in the X-factor. With her unique voice and great personality the people loved her and voted her to the final where she got second place after Gabrielle. A year after the final we talk to her about her life after the competition, her success and her Christmas plans.
What did X-factor mean to you?
It is because of X-factor I have my carrier. It was a helping hand and gave my carrier a kick-start. I wouldn’t have come this far this quick without X-factor.
What is the biggest difference between your life before and after X-factor?
I must have to say the biggest difference is that people recognises me. That people shout my name when they see me on the street. Another big difference is that people have opinions on what I wear and what I do. But I have to look at the bright side. If people did not recognise me I wouldn’t have my carrier.
What are you working on right now? Any new songs coming soon?
Right now I’m working on some new songs for my second album. We don’t have a date jet but hopefully I will have an album ready before end of summer next year. It is a lot of work that remains and since I’m a perfectionist it takes a lot of time.
When is your next tour?
I go on tour with my first album in February 2012. I really look forward to it because it’s my first tour alone. The last tour I was on was the X-factor tour with all the other contestants and that is really different from going on tour alone. Now it’s all up to me and my music.
You are now number two on the hit lists with your first single “on my own”, how does it feel?
It’s a dream come true. It feels amazing. As an artist one of your goals is to come on the hit lists because that means people like you music and that’s the main thing. You can’t make it as an artist if people don’t like you music.
What type of music do you listen to?
I listen to different types of music. It depends on my mode really. But I have some genres I never listen to like hard rock and metal, that’s to heavy for me.
Who is you favourite artist?
Hmm, that’s a hard one. I don’t have one favourite artist. As I said, I listen to different types of music depending on which mode I’m in so that means I also listen to different artists depending on the mode I’m in. But at the moment I listen a lot to Adele, Coldplay, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.
Last but not least. Christmas is coming up and we have to ask, what are you plans?
Work (ha-ha)! No, this Christmas I’m spending in Liverpool with my family. It will be nice to have a normal Christmas with all the family traditions and the hole family together. It’s hard to get the family together now because everyone are so busy so Christmas is a great time to get the family together and to spend some quality time with all of them.
