Rosa Deane, 17 has made her stamp on to the music industry, and with a band!!! Rosa has recently topped the UK charts with her single ‘Live for today’, which critics have described as fresh, fierce and fun. Rosa has let us have an exclusive insight into how her life has changed from her humble beginning and never losing sight of that ONE goal, to make it! (+ All those questions WE want to know).
Hi Rosa! How are you? How does it feel to have made your break onto the music scene?
Hey, I’m good thanks, I know it crazy to think how much has changed in such little time, it feels amazing!!! To know that people out there are enjoying and sharing my passion with music.
What changes have you had to make to adapt to the life of a star?
(Laughs] I wouldn’t call myself a star yet that’s for sure, but no change I’m still the exact same person, personally I don’t think there is any reason why fame should go to someone’s head, however it is funny when I get asked for a picture when popping to the shop to get some chocolate.
What where you doing this time last year?
Local gigs, friends parties nothing major just trying to perform to others as often as I could it was great to perform in front of new crowds but also to see familiar faces regularly .Whom soon became a fan base for me. A lot of juggling had to be done between my dreams though and reality back than as I was actually studying my GCSEs during the time.
What was it like to perform In front of a crowd for the first time? Do the nerves get easier?
The very first time, the nerves were overwhelming but now it gets easier, as they say practise make perfect.. Having hundreds of faces staring out you can be pretty daunting especially when I was used to putting little shows on for my Mum and Dad.
You’ve been compared to the likes of Taylor Swift? Does that add any pressure to what people’s expectations for you are?
Yes, because she is amazing and SO well known and respected worldwide! it’s a real compliment to be compared to Taylor, I mean everyone knows who Taylor Swift is and the lyrics to her catchy songs (sings - I Knew you were trouble when you walked in). Her lyrics all have so much meaning, she is a true inspiration!
Do you get your inspiration from anywhere? Or anyone?
Yeah! I’ve had a lot of past experience with bullying growing up in High School, and I wanted to express my feelings through songs as that’s what I find easiest, also I hope that it will help others out there and they can end up the better person!
Are you on this journey on your own? Or do you have a boyfriend?
On my own (laughs) I’m still young and I have a lot of opportunities coming my way, and at the moment in time my focus and heart is set on making music and performing to others, making sure that they are enjoying my music as much as I am ! So for now NO boyfriend, however if the right guy came at the right time I wouldn’t say no (laughs)
What qualities do you look for in a boy? Any celeb crushes?
Hmmmm, definitely a sense of humour has to be the most important thing, if you can make me laugh you will steal my heart (laughs) also a good smile, can’t go wrong with a good smile! Oooh celeb crushes I love all of 1D, they seem such cool guys but Niall has to be my favourite I love his accent and his smile.
So what can we expect from Rosa Deane in the near future?
I’ve got a new album coming out next week, ‘Today’s the day’ which has a huge variety of songs from calm, acoustic ,solely written songs to catchy chorus’s upbeat tunes. One of the major hits on there is ‘Today’ co written with Pixie Lott! That was one of the best experiences! You can also download the singles on their own on ITunes! I’ve got a few gigs all over the place, album, signing on the 21st at WHSmith, Oxford Street. Follow me on twitter @RosaDeane to get all the latest juicy goss and details of where I am located in the world (laughs) as I’m currently here, there and everywhere. However my priority is definitely to start meeting and greeting my fans to show my appreciation!
And finally thanks for coming in Rosa it’s been great talking to you, before you leave us tell us what is the Ultimate dream?
Its been my pleasure, will look forward to coming back and I would love to one day get a No.1 single or even album if I’m lucky (laughs).
Rosa single ‘Live for today’ is available to download on Itunes right now! And the album ‘Todays the day’ comes out next week!
I chose for my double page spread to be in a question and answer format rather than an article. Behind my choice where many reasons, the most dominant one being the target audience of the magazine who are young teens. Therefore an interview would interest them over a long winded descriptive article as they can find quick facts out about their favourite star as they read magazine for surveillance to gather information and secrets about their star .Young teens use magazine as a sense of diversions as magazines are a form of personal entertainment, so a interview is more suited as its just a quick, fun thing to read along with pictures. Furthermore when reading the artists answers the reader can personally relate to the answers, through this they can discover role models and be able to relate to them for instance the reader may also agree that Niall from One Direction is their favourite,
