We have got a interview with Hannah Martin today, we already know that she has 2 new singles coming out, she's started to design her own fashion range which we will talk about and she is also auditioning for a hollywood movie and she is only 19.
So Hannah, What age did you start?
well first of all, I was about 5 when i started my acting lessons, then i really got into it started auditioning for plays and musicals and everything really hit it off from there. I was in my first musical at the age of 6 and then I decided to take some singing lessons as I wanted to be the star of the show! I starred in my first musical at the age of 8 and then I just carried on really.
Is this what you always wanted to do?
Yes definately. I have always wanted to do this, it is very exciting, but i dont think anyone can prepare for what happens as my life has just become so busy, I have learnt to enjoy the small things in life, a quiet moment with a cup of tea and a blanket in front of the telly is the most relaxing thing that I could ask for! But yes it is what I have always wanted to do and it just proves that dreams can come true.
What Are you Most looking Forward to?
I am most looking forward to just being on the road with my band and playing at gigs. Hopefully I will make it that far! But no if I do get to that stage then I will be over the moon and would love to feel the thrill of being up there on the big stage in front of a lot of people.
So Hannah lets talk more about your album
Well my album that I am about to release is my debut album called "Meet Hannah" and its just a colaboration of a number of songs that I have written which sum up my life so far, as my life has been quite happy and easy, the songs are quite upbeat and happy as I want them to create a nice atmosphere.
Not only do you write your own songs but songs for other people, can you tell us more?
Well pulse, I originally write a whole group of songs and then I choose which bunch go best on my album but there are some that I really like and get attatched to but sometimes they just dont fit in, however with these songs we offer them out to other artists and this makes me feel happy as I feel that they have a new home and a new purpose to them.
Arent you a fashion icon?
Apparantly so. I do have my own fashion range that is included in quite a lot of magazine and sells to all the A-lists, but thats not what I want to be famous for. I want to be the next Pixie Lott!
Do you enjoy fashion?
Yes I have always been into fashion, I believe that most girls are or should be. But yeah I do love it and that is one of the things that inspired me to make my own fashion range, also that Pixie Lott has her own fashion range.
How did your fashion range come together?
well i sent some ideas off to a designer called Gok Wan and he arranged a meeting with me and then we ha dsome blank designs and we played around with different colours and tartans and stripes and then we both agreed on some designs and it all hit off from there! we just got together what I just wanted as my perfect collection really. Im really excited to bring out the spring summer range in just a couple of months which is inspired by my 2 fashion icons which are Bridget Budget and Edie Sedrick. I really hope that my line does well as it has been talked about. im really excited for it and cant wait!!
So, some say your the new pixie lott, what do you think of this?
Im quite shocked by this, as I really like pixie I think shes an amazing girl and we get along well together. This wasnt the actual style that I was originally going for though, however Pixie is a really succesfull girl and I am honoured to be recognised by this and I also think that this is a great image to have when I am currently just entering the market. I was inspired by Pixie Lott and I think that we both gave up a lot to do this.
What did you give up for your career?
Well, I was only 13 when I started going to the studio and writing my songs and albums so I went to the studio afterschool and on the weekends so I gave up a lot for this. I did go to partys with my friends when I was younger, but I did have to say no to a lot of things.
From what we have seen from your debut single, we assume you like to party?
Yes, I do love a good old party, where everyone is dancing and having fun, and this is the type of music that i actually want to produce, I want my music to create a good atmosphere and for people to be enlighten when they here it, I do like to dance, I actually went to school where we were trained to dance so i do find it quite easy to get up on the dance floor, lets just say that i dont lack in confidence when im on the dance floor.
Is there anyone that you listened to when you were younger that you would like to work with?
I used to listen to Stevie Wonder a lot when i was younger and I think that it would be such an honour to work with him as I believe that he inspires people as what he has achieved in his life and what he has gone through and what he has had to deal with is absolutely amazing and yeah just he inspires me as he never gave up.
Are you suprized at how fast your career took off?
To be honest yeah I am, I had no idea what to expect because I didnt know what was going to happen. Because it took me so long to make the album and get heard and to be recognised then it is such a big contrast to how fast it went when I released my first single. So yeah I didnt expect it to be so fast.
We heard that you might becoming a judge of X-factor, is there anything you can tell us?
Well I can say that it would be a whole new experience for me because usually I audition not audtion people, so I know how it feels to be up there on the stage but I think that I will really enjoy it and it should be really fun as all the other judges are funny and nice. I think that i will be quite generous to the contestents and quite nice, because I know exactly how nerv racking it can be up on stage infront of a lot of people I will feel for them and if I see a bit of potential in the contestents then I will be nice.
As most of our readers are still at school what advice can you give them?
Well if you want to look good at school, it really depends on how strict your school is, at my school I got away with wearing bangles, nail varnish, makeup and things in my hair. I think you should make it look like you didnt make than much of an effort when actually you did. Well people say that school is the best time of your life and I actually agree with them and still think it, you are with your friends everyday at school, you can run riot at school and can actually afford to make mistakes as you are still quite young, my advice would be to avoid arguments with your mates, live life to the full and just have fun. At prom we hired out a hotel and we all stayed there over night, we obviously had a partner to go with, but I searched everywhere for the perfect dress, I went to covent garden and I found a perfect dress, my advice would be to go to a smaller shop and not a big high street shop because everyone will have the same dress and you dont want to have the same dress as someone else because unique looks best.
What advice would you give to anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps?
I'd say to them to never give up and to follow their dream. No matter what anyone says to them if they really want it then I am sure that they can do it. It doesnt matter how late or early you start, if you have got the talent then you will know that you have it and you will make, but if its not meant to be then its not meant to be.
