Artist Interview
Rae-Marie, the new rising superstar, has shocked millions of people with her first single, ‘Don’t Let Go.’ She is the upcoming sensation of the pop music industry. By releasing videos of her singing on Facebook and YouTube, she started to build a huge fan-base, with many people from the audience requesting to meet with her. From a normal student to a wild Popstar, find out how Rae- Marie changed her life drastically, in no time. Her fans are getting hard to tame!
So, Rae-Marie, how would you describe your journey to your fans?
I am actually speechless because I saw my life flash in front of my eyes. I never imagined I would one day become known for my singing and I would be standing on a platform where people would be cheering me on. It feels so nice to have people who care for you and enjoy your music. I feel proud as to where I stand today. To be honest, it has been a very long and stressful journey but then again, I am happy that I have gained so many remember when I used to upload stupid videos of myself singing and my peers would fans and have managed to make my single hit the Top UK charts. I still compliment it; I remember like it was yesterday but here I am today with a big fan base and recognition for my own effort.
What inspired you to become a Pop artist?
That is a tough question... hmm well; I love pop music because I personally and I think it brings out the inner self in me. I can be crazy whilst listening to it and it wouldn’t look bad but if I was jumping around on a Jazz song, it wouldn’t fit. I feel like I can have fun and express my feelings. Sometimes, I would read Pop magazines in my free time, when I was a student and the stories featured in the magazine would inspire me a lot. At that time, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the music industry and I did do my research. I have a passion for upbeat, pop songs so I thought I would love to make my very own pop songs.
Who are your inspirations?
I would have to say my biggest inspirations are Taylor Swift and Katy Perry as they are well known pop artists and I enjoy their style of music. I feel like I can relate to their expressions and their style and I look up to them both as my idols. I sometimes even copy their fashion style [laughs], but then at the end of the day, my biggest inspiration will have to be my dad. He encouraged me to carry on pursuing a career in the music industry although my mum wasn’t too happy with me doing this. My dad was the one who allowed me to take part in performances at school and perform at his bar where people would ask him about me and this also attracted customers as well as fans. When I was small, Selena Gomez was my inspiration from Disney Channel but now it has changed to these two.
How did you adapt to the ‘famous lifestyle’?
I did find it hard to keep up with the heaps of work from signings, writing lyrics, producing songs whilst also taking out time for my family and myself. I have to say that even though it is hard being an artist, I do enjoy it because it means I can do something I love. I look forward to every new day because I can come up with new ideas for my fans. Even if it doesn’t mean making a new song every month, I can them up-to-date with whatever is happening in my life.
Why did you choose these platforms, (Facebook and YouTube) to reach your fans?
I thought Facebook was a suitable place to post videos of my singing because the videos can be shared, even worldwide and that is exactly what happened to my video. The same video was uploaded by me and other onto YouTube where I had around 1000 views in 3 weeks. I was over the moon!
Your fans are obviously waiting to hear about any upcoming events in the near future... would you like to tell us?
I am glad to announce that in a couple of months, I will be doing very own first tour to the UK, O2 arena. The date is yet to be confirmed but I request anyone reading this to come along and support me.
Would you like to give a personal message to the fans out there?
I thank all of you for helping me reach this far. I wouldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for the lovely messages on my birthday that was a couple days ago; they made me smile a lot. Each and every one of you makes life worth living.
What are you doing now and where do you see yourself in the future?
Right now, I am working on a new song so all you should look out for any teasers. On the side, I am also planning to open my own music academy for children. This is for the free time I have. It’s in the process at the moment but eventually, I will sort things out. For the future, I don’t really know what it holds for me but I am hoping I make the most of it. I do want to make collaboration videos with the top pop artists to get a global recognition by people so I am looking forward to it. That’s it really, I can’t say much. It’s all up to my destiny and fate.

DPS Research: Interview Writing
Make your own mind maps with Mindomo. Here is a mindmap I made whilst conducting my research on existing interviews in pop magazines. I have mentioned how I am going to adapt the features from these interviews into my own by following conventions.

DPS Stand First
Here is a powerpoint showing how I conducted my research for existing stand firsts and my attempt at writing my own. I adapted similar features from existing ones to my own to make my stand first eye catching and recognisable as a pop music magazine stand first.
Contents Page Colour Choices
Here is a powerpoint on the colour choices I made for my contents page. I used the same colours from the front cover on my contents page to make it consistent and make the two pages link together.
