For this article I have taken inspiration from interviews with musician's and celebrities in prestigious magazine such a Elle and Vogue and used a narrative style of writing to break the convention of a 'Q&A' article making it original and also incorporated the fusion between fashion and music our magazine STROBE embodies.
Hot hit teen sensation Luna Lovechild bears all in a in dept in sight into her inspirations, fame and her obsession with fashion and the funky house scene.
Luna walks into the uptown Mayfair hotel lobby, hair up in a tosseled bun, ripped second skin jeans, a biker jacket and heel boots to match, her only assesories a beloved black berry and the blood red stain of chanel no.5 on her pouted lips, which may appear to the untrained eye as a worldwin of madness, but to the world of style and music its another hight fashion statement from the it girl of the moment, were all dieing to know.
Luna Lovechild is a national, and soon to be global, sensation due to the relise of her under ground music fustion of punk rock and fucky house beats with controversial lyric's, and maxed out sex appeal.The young star-lett, at the tender age of just 17 took the social internet scene by storm, resevering over a million hits on her myspace page, and over a thousand friends following her on facebook and twitter, fascinated by her innovative music style , comibation of catwalk couture and her rebellious and unrecerved song subjects. Now two years on her life and music is a constant tabloid frezzy, with everyone dieing to get a piece of her and her new album ‘funked up’ topping the downloads charts with in a matter hours.
I look up and imidiatly a starbucks decafe is thrust out infrount of me, behind it is a smile of such warmth and innocence that im shocked by. I soon discover from the witty but endearing introduction and quirky rabbeling that luna is not the high maintenance or garish brat that the press conveys, and nothing like the teen celebrities divas the 21st century is plaged with. In fact Lula is the opposite of this, despite her very apparent cooky, opinionated outspoken ways, which is much expressed in her music, her personality is far from the arrogant, but instead edgily vulnerable and interesting, the definition of cool an class combined.
As we go though another 2 more coffee she revealse to me, as i ask her about the her rapid popularity and millions of doting fans, her philosophy of not letting the pressure of fame get to her ' i see my life as a blessing,my music is not only an expression from me, but a reflection of my views on life, love and soicaty, i put my soul into my songs, so by putting so much of my self into my music im aware that i make my self vulnerable to cristisums and the problems that fame can bring, but the passion and pleasure i get from not only making music, but performing is worth it all' she says. I ask if shes thinks is all a bit too much to young ' i been singing and perfroming since the age of 5' she replies ' i craved the stage, the lights and most of all an audenice as much as a little girl wants the lastet malabu barbie, so gaining sucess from what love the most couldn't have come sooner! I know I can come across overwhelming but that's only because im so driven to be not only a singer but an inspiration in this industry ' her honestly and intelligence is stricking, and some what beautiful and i egerly ask her about the contravecial subject matters of her songs that have smashed though the charts consecuativly, she replys after a long pause ' i think that people are to scared to challenge conventions, to overstep the line or to voice the questions or views that we all serecret think. i see my music as a voice of the people, the voice of my beloved fans, expresses our emotions and most of all the journey of being young and living life to the fullest' This optimistic outlook is refreshing and breaks the boadies of conventional moody and pesimitic teen stars that we are all so sick of.
Lula's originality shown though out her life, and espeshally her music, which is a sub-genre of fucky house she says ' is to lift people spirts, feel the beat inside them and get that euphoric feeling of wanting to dance the night away' and rock-indie challenging lyrics that fused together in her music videos. Glancing at my watch i relaise that my time with the highly sort-after teen star is almost up, talking with her has been such a breath of youthful fresh air, and the energy and passion she has for her music is so appart i ask where she finds her inspiration ' i think im influenced not by one person or stlye but a vareity, helping me create unique and fresh music' she continues ' in music i an inspired by the likes of lengends such a the sex pistols and boy geroge who embodied the challenging, controversial and stament making concepts that i encorporate in my music, i think such arists also shared my love of fashion to represent their music and what they were all about, Quaites that are also shared with my mordern idol Lady gaga who i think's music is truly amazing, as well as her style thats always pushed to the limits, yet always comes arcoss so glamorous!' Luna smiles, scrunching her noes in a child like mannor, reminding me that this insightful, talented and truly stunning singer still has so much time grow and mature as a woman, and female arist. I finish by asking her what ambitions she has or the future and she reply's ' I would love to created my own fashion range one day as its my also a very strong passion of mine' and continues boldy ' but for now i want to concure the music word globally, and be an ispiration to the younger generations that shouldn't be affaid of standing out, making a statment of being proud of their views. i want my music to exsude glamour, fun and youth power, but also have a serious message about making an impact and not letting anbody stand in the way of you dreams'
