Stand first: A brand new stylish artist discovered, her dream has come true as 17 year old singer Lauren Fryer hits the charts with her dazzling new song 'take me back'. 


Question: ''How was you discovered?''

Answer: ''I was discovered by BBC introducing, this helped me get more popular into the music industry. BBC brings together undiscovered and unsigned music. I uploaded my best track and it got really popular on BBC radio shows. This was really unexpected as I didn't realise how many people actually liked the song I made.''

Question: ''How much has your life changed since being noticed and picked up to create music with one of the biggest recording companies in the world?''

Answer: ''I never imagined to be where I am now, even speaking to you still feels imaginary. I have dreamt of being a singer since I was young and here I am finally where I have always dreamt to be, a pop singer. I have only been recognized for 5 months and my life has turned around completely. My main aim as being a pop singer was to produce music that people could enjoy and have fun whilst listening to it and yeah, that’s what I am doing, the fame and things that come along with it is something that I have to accept. It hasn’t annoyed me too much yet!''

Question: ''Is there any gossip you can tell us about your personal life?''

Answer:  ''I am dating a guy at the moment who is 18 names James. He is very proud of me and always takes me out and treats me! He does get jealous of the amount of boys after me, but he knows that I will not take advantage of that as I love him very much. My friends are also proud of me, however I havent seen them as much as I have been too busy recording for my album.''

Question: ‘'Have you always wanted to be known for your music and wanted to produce it as a career?''

Answer: “I never ever dreamed that something like this would happen to me. When I was young I went to theatre school and I have always enjoyed dancing as a hobby. This was where I discovered my talent for singing. I then took up singing lessons which helped me with my voice and confidence. I never thought of being a professional singer as a career, especially as I am 17,  I had my mind set on being a school teacher but once I was found by the recording company that idea was pushed aside. But I can’t think of ever doing something different than my hobby as a career.”

Question: ‘'Is there any information about your first Album and is there a release date?''

Answer: ''My first ever album named 'Escape' includes tracks that have meaning and are up-beat. It includes my favourite song 'Take me back' which is number 1 in the charts. The song relates to the loss of my grandad and includes meaningful words that remind me of him. The album will be released on the 18th January 2014, I am so thrilled to announce this as I have spent so much time putting it all together.''

Question: ''Is there any artist in mind who you would like to collaborate with?''

Answer: ''I would love to collaborate with Justin Timberlake, as his voice is very unique and I look up to him as a young artist. I have always liked him since I was young and always used to listen to his songs right up to now. He has inspired me to achieve my dream as a pop singer, his quote - 'My biggest challenge was to make sure that the songs I did were who I am'  has also given me great dedication to me as an artist.'' 

Question: ''Oh really, that sounds awesome, would you ever date someone in the music industry?''

Answer: ''You never know, I may do, for me, its all about personality, but their looks have to look good too! , but I already have an amazing boyfriend, so I dont need anyone else. But yes nothing would stop me from dating someone in the music industry.''

Question: ''Are there any festivals coming up anytime soon?''

Answer: ''I will be performing at Reading Festival on July 2nd 2014. So make sure you book tickets to see me! It will be a great night where all class singers will be performing. I am extremely excited to announce this event and to be part of it. My fans will definately not regret coming as it will be a night to remember!''

Question: ''Is there any tips you can give to inspire young artists?''

Answer: ''Yes, follow your dreams and dont let anyone stop you from achieving what you want to do in life. If you want something so much fight for it, life doesnt come easy, but once you have got it you will be greatful and proud of yourself.
