Later Today: 20th February, 2012, and everything looks like it’s going so well for Jessica Hart. Today she rolls into the interview room at Pitch looking ready to go to a gig with her bright red hair bouncing around her bright blue eyes. He recent success mean that she has already hit not just Britain but America and Europe as well with her spin tingling album Forgotten Souls. It has taken her a while to get to where she has today with grungy gigs in small pubs and bars and to now gig in the 02 academy at London and Wembley Arena. She has sold over 100,000 of albums worldwide within the last few months and is about to tour the UK this year.
Emma: Hello Jessica and congratulation on your current success with Forgotten Souls.
Jessica: Thank you Emma, I still can't believe it, I didn’t think so many people would appreciate my work.
E: So I’ve heard you are touring the UK this year where are you looking forward to playing at?
J: Well obviously Wembley, because the atmosphere is so amazing but to be honest I love playing every where just to perform to my amazing fans.
E: Have you had any problems in the past at gigs?
J: Well there was a where I was playing at the 02 in Newcastle and I crowd surf with a dress on, yeh I think everyone that day felt my bum. I haven’t crowd surfed since.
E: Wow sounds like you have lots of fun at gigs then.
J: Yup there my favourite part of being a musician, connecting with my fans and watching them sing and dance to my music. I love it.
E: So what inspired you to become a musician?
J: Well I think it was from an early age, I’ve always had an interest in music festivals and my dad used to always take me to Glastonbury when I was old enough and I realised then one day I would get up on that stage and perform just like the inspirational people who had before me.
E: Does your Dad and family come see you at gigs, I bet he’s really proud.
J: Yeh he does all the time and he’s so proud. So proud, it’s embarrassing he’s tells strangers that I’m his daughter all the time, just random people in Tesco.
E: Awhhh, have you wrote any songs about any of your family members in your new album?
J: No I haven’t I think the songs are more to do about love and loss of love in a sense of long meaningful relationships with past lovers.
E: Yes like your song lost forever, was that about a past relationship.
J: Yes it was, a very long one and we decided to go our separate ways and then we meet up a few years later and he just felt like someone that I used to know, it was odd I no longer had any feelings for him, he felt like a stranger.
E: That sad are you friends now?
J: Well we are but our lives are so busy it’s hard to make time for anyone at the minute.
E: Anyway let’s get back to a positive note, so are you excited for the NME awards?
J: Yes I can’t wait it’s my first time and I’m so excited, I don’t mind if I don’t win anything I’m just glad to go.
E: I’m excited about it to, I’m presenting it. Who are you on a table with?
J: I’m on a table with The Horrors and my best friends Cara.
E: You’re quite close with the horrors aren’t you?
J: Yes I am, we were both signed by XL Recording and we just became friends from there.
E: So I heard you are in the best newcomer in music for the NME Awards. How are you feeling about that?
J: I’m really chuffed; I was so surprised when I found out.
E: Well you deserve it and you have worked really hard to get where you are today. And I will see you at the NME Awards. Thank you, Jessica.
J: Yup see you there and thanks Emma.
