This is an inclusive interview with Hope Lescott! At the age of 18 she is already becoming the next RnB queen! Her new single 'Champion' has been at number 1 for two weeks in the UK and it reached number 3 in America! Hope takes a break from the studio to talk about how she became famous and her love for RnB.
How did you get discovered?
I entered a competition and I got to sing in my local town. I didn't win the competition but I got recognised by a record company. They invited me down to London studios to record and they just fell in love with my voice so they signed me to a record deal!
How much has your life changed since being noticed within the music industry?
It has only been a year and I still can't get used to the fans shouting my name every time I leave the house. My life has changed so much. I've always wanted to produce music since I was young and now I am finally living the dream.
Are you friends and family supportive?
All my friends and family are really supportive! They always come and support me when I'm touring or doing little gigs. Sometimes it can get a bit difficult, especially when I'm out with my family and the fans come up to me asking for signatures.
What kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to a lot of genre of music but RnB and Rap is my favourite of course! The only genres of music I don't like is rock and opera!
Have you got any upcoming tours?
Yes, I am currently rehearsing for a tour with Nicki Minaj! I am so excited as she has been my idol since day one and she has always been my inspiration.
What makes your music unique to other artists?
My music will always have a positive vibe. It is very modern and it is up to date with the latest trends. It's also very addictive. It will make you want to listen to it over and over again.
What else do you do besides singing?
Well i'm busy all the time! But if I do have a bit of spare time I like to go out with my friends and family. But of course I am still only 18 so I always try and study in my spare time.
What has been your most memorable moment?
I think me touring with Rihanna was my most memorable moment because it was my first tour and I got to meet so many artists such as Chris Brown, J.Cole and JayZ.
Is there any information about your new album and is there a release date?
I have currently stopped recording for my album because I am concentrating on the tour with Nicki Minaj. But as soon as I finished the tour I will back in the studio to record my new album and hopefully it will be out in the summer 2015.
If you could win any award, which one would it be and why?
I would like to win 'Best Female International' because I don't just want to be known in Europe, I would want to be known worldwide. However, any award would mean the world to me because it will show how far and successful I have become, so I am so excited for my future!
Is there any advice you would give to young people now?
I would say to always follow your dreams and don't let anyone tell you that you cant do something. Make sure you go into the career that you will enjoy and not regret.
