Interview.
So, this month, HEARDRUM has been speaking to a BRAND SPANKING NEW Singer. Here, we interviewed this young man who insisted his girlfriend stayed in the interview with him! Aw, young love!

HTD: “So, Matt, we’ve heard this is your first interview in these kinds of conditions, how do you feel?”
Matt: “It doesn’t seem that bad, plus I’ve got my lovely girlfriend next to me, nothing can really go wrong.”

HTD: “Well, it’s great that to hear! Do you care about how people see you and your music?”

Matt: “No, I don’t mind, I know that I don’t like some artists’ music, so I understand that not everyone will like me.”

HTD: “Well, that’s a great way to look at it. So you’re 17 with a very pretty girlfriend and now you’ve started a career? What about College or University?”

Matt: “I’ve always been interested in music and singing and girls, haha. I used to sing in the shower, put a few words together to make a song; I didn’t think I would end up here! I left school at 16 at the normal age, I wasn’t interested in College or University, I do have a job though so I do earn money, it’s not that much of a problem.”

HTD: “Your song has been sold to thousands around the world, it must all be new and a big shock for you, surely? To suddenly be noticed as a star?”

Matt: “I guess so, I was used to singing in front of friends for a laugh every now and again, but now people around the world are singing my song, wow.. It is a big shock, but it’s really nice.”

HTD: “It looks like you’re dealing with it well and your girlfriend here, Sophie, how do you feel about your boyfriend suddenly having girls all over him?”

Sophie: “Erm, well. I guess I’m used to it by now, every couple has their problems with someone trying to get at them, so now it’s become a norm, you learn not to be bothered by it. I’m so proud of him to get this far, I told him to pursue in his singing and he did.”

HTD: “So Sophie here helped you pursue into singing, Matt? Do you like the decision you’ve made? You can’t go back now, really.”

Matt: “I do like the decision I made and I’m glad Sophie helped me go forward, I love writing songs, I love singing and I love making people happy with my music. So becoming an artist around the world is exactly what I want. Plus, I’ve got a bit of extra cash to treat my girl.”

HTD: “Ah, I see. Well, we hope you the best and I’m sure we’ll see you soon, Matt! I wouldn’t be surprised if you end up on our magazine again, you’ll certainly be inside it often. Aw, aren’t you a sweetie!”

Matt: “Really? You’d feature me inside your magazine? ”

HTD: “Of course we will, we want you to be big, Matt! We love your music so everyone should know about you!”

Matt: “Thank you very much! I’ll mention that you helped me on my road to success and trust me, I’ll be buying this magazine whenever the new ones come out!”

HTD: “Hahah, it was lovely speaking to you Matt, good luck and most importantly, have fun!”
