Artist Interview

So Jade, how does it feel to be an upcoming artist in the genre of pop? Especially since there’s a lot of competition between artists within the music industry.
It’s a heavily influential and media based genre in the industry which is definitely empowered by major artists who have been in this industry for many years. I am just a small artist in this industry but I am learning and growing as an individual and musician throughout this journey. Most importantly I’m very happy doing my job. Music is my passion and it has opened up so many doors for me, as well as allowing me to meet and work with so many wonderful people. My new album ‘JADE’ features a song co-written and sung by Selena Gomez and myself. Personally, I don’t see other artists as competition but instead as inspiration because everyone is an individual and has their own unique style. Music is an art which is  there to share and to be enjoyed, not to be used as a platform to compete on.

Who are your musical inspirations and who would you like to collaborate with in future?
I listen to a wide variety of genres and artists and there
are many artists who I like and look up to. However, there are two in particular who have always been my idols. That can only be Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. They both symbolise the empowerment of women which is something that I’m very passionate about and also strive to represent. So far I have collaborated with the beautiful Selena Gomez and the talented Sam Smith who is signed to the same record label as me. I’ve had so much fun working with them both and I would happily collab with them again. I am hoping to collab with Katy Perry soon as she is also signed to Capitol records. Collaborating with Lady Gaga and Katy Perry would really be dream come true. 
       
Are there any exciting events coming up soon that you would like to tell us about? 
Yes actually, I’m glad you asked. I will be going on tour soon and the tour dates and locations will be released next Friday on my Twitter and can be booked on my website. I’m so excited to meet my fans! I’ll also be releasing my own merchandise when the tour begins so yeah there is a lot of exciting things coming up soon.

This next question is from your fans and has been much anticipated as you already know. I’m sure that you can guess already but this one is of course, are you currently in a relationship?
[laughs] No. At the moment I’m not and the reason for that is because I’ve been focussing on just bettering myself as a person and working hard to be successful. So to be very honest, there hasn’t really been time for relationships [laughs]. An important part of a relationship is commitment and I just don’t think that’s possible for me right now alongside my job. However, in future when I feel a bit more stable in my job maybe then I’ll feel ready to settle into a relationship. Only time will be able to tell us more about this one.

It seems that you have a special relationship with your fans. How do you connect with them?
Yes my fans have a special place in my heart because they are just so supportive and it makes me feel so happy to know that I have that many people who listen to and enjoy my music. I connect with them through twitter, instagram and snapchat.
