So how are thing different to Atomic Kitten and do you ever get fed up? You don’t although there are things like the same question again like the question “How did Atomic Kitten get together?” The one thing I really like now is that I can sort of be myself. At first it was really really weird. On stage, it was like some weird dream where the stage was oversized and too big, where you had to run from one side to the other. It was definitely different because I do the thing with a live band now rather than dance routines and it’s just nice to be able to run from one side of the stage to another and wave at people and have a laugh. But it is strange. What are you listening to at the moment? Do you know what’s really odd is since I left the band all my musical tastes have really changed. I like jazz music, I love jazz music, love Michael Buble at the moment. I love country music, though I’ve always loved country music. Ever since I was a child. Does that come from your family record collection? Yes definitely, I learnt how to sing harmonies to the Eagles, like “Best of My Love” and “Lying Eyes”. It was really funny because my mums a really good singer so she used to just say “Lets sing in a different key,” and that’s how she taught me harmonies. Did she give advice to you? She always says about gut feeling and tells me I’ve got to be tougher and stand up to people. And say “No” more often, not let people walk all over me. I’m scared of embarrassing my little brother, I’ve got a nineteen year old brother. So I’ve got to do it good. What if it all goes wrong, are you prepared for that? I think so because when we left the band there was a definite sort of six months when I was kind of lost to be honest. Thinking, “This is great a bit of holidays” and then I was thinking “What do I do? What do I do?” Then someone said “You’ve got to go solo.” So when the feeling comes back in future I won’t be as confused as I was but I hope it’s not for a long time. |
