Interview a Recording Artist

A couple of years back I was given an assignment. That assignment was to conduct an interview with a recording artist. The artists name is Natalie, she is a Latium Entertainment artist. I drove all the way from Berkeley, CA to San Jose, CA, for them to tell me they did not have time to do the interview. I had a few good questions though. I would like to share them with you.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Tape Recorder
  • Pen & Pad

    Natalie Interview

  2. Step 2

    1. I know that your new to the game, how does it feel to have your single “Going Crazy”, hit #1 on the Billboard Monitor Mainstream Top 40 airplay chart, was the #2 Greatest Gainer and debuted at #10 on AOL’s Top 11.
    2. Your second single is “Energy” featuring Baby Bash. I hear it was the #1 most added song on top 40 Radio Format. How does that make you feel?
    3. What was the motivation behind you naming your album Natalie?

    9. Is it hard being a Latina in the Music Industry?
    10. I read that you were a rapper & a dancer before you started singing R&B, which is more satisfying?
    11. What’s the 411 on “Natalie” is she single in a committed relationship or what, I mean I’m sure fellas want to know?
    12. What can we excpect from your self-titled album that was released on May 17th?
    13. How do you keep your body in such good shape?
    14. Who do you compare yourself to in the music industry?
