Double Page Spread First Draft

Jess Philpot isn't your average pop star, she is the kind of pop star. With her twist to the genre she creates a great vibe and creates a role model somebody to look up to if you was a young female teen. With her debut album out "Revolution" Jess is attracting a lot of attention and becoming the new upcoming star of pop music.

Walking into Jess' mansion all you could smell was the fresh smell of cakes that she had baked for myself mixed with the fresh sense of flowers which was everywhere around her mansion. Giving a very homely feel to her mansion, making me feel very welcome. The first sight I get off Jess is walking down her marble staircase, wearing a red H&M dress promoting the promotional work she is currently doing. Finally, we sat down with a cup of tea and enjoyed the freshly baked cakes Jess had baked.

Q. So jess, it is an absolute honour to meet you I am a big fan, now tell me where did it all start?

A. Well, I have to give a huge thanks to YouTube, without the videoing service they provide I would just be a ordinary suburban living in a reasonably priced house in Kent, in a minimum wage job. I wasn't a academic girl at all, I only excelled at English and Music where I came out with a B in English and A in Music. In the other subjects I would often find myself drifting and just writing lyrics and singing them. This was the first real moment I realised that I wanted to pursue to career into the music business. That night I recorded my first ever song in my room, singing a cover to Bruno Mars' "Just the way you are".  Within 3 weeks I managed to build a fan base and had around 1,500 views. This was when I was spotted by the music label I currently work with. They offered me a trail run at a local recording studio in Rochester, where from that they offered me a contract and got myself to where I am now.

Q. Your debut album "Revolution" out on 22nd January tell me, what is the message you wish you portray?

A. Funny you should say that, I was just watching Celebrity Juice before you came and wondered if the famous Keith Lemon question would be asked. Honestly Kieran, the message I wish to portray is just to let the rest of the artists and my audience know is that there is a revolution coming, my revolution. I want to bring a twist to the pop industry, hopefully I have already brought it with my debut single "Clapped", I just wanted to reinforce that message with this album.

Q.  After seeing your recent twitter beef with Miley Cyrus, would you care to explain about your rivalry?

A. Honestly I don't have a that much of a problem with Miley, I think she is a awesome woman and she was an inspiration to myself when I was younger. The only problem I have with her is that she tries to sell herself to the pop fans by doing raunchy videos with her lady parts out. She's giving Pop a bad reputation and giving our audience a bad role model, let's face it nobody wants their child to grow up and be like Miley.

Q. And finally, with your album coming out January 22nd what does the future hold for yourself?

A.  Hopefully my agent will allow me a bit of time off to do a lifetime ambition of mine, I would like to help and develop a charity project out in Zimbabwe, which helps and provide aid for a local hospital where the worst cases of Malaria are. Obviously, you are aware of my previous boyfriend Jake and that didn't work out, as every woman would say " I want to be loved and cheeriest". With this is mind as a single girl I would love to find a certain man and who knows what can happen (giggles). Other than that I hope to do a few festivals in the summer, I already have 'the summer time ball' and 'V-Fest'. Also, plan my tour in 2015 where I want to perform, when I want to perform etc.....
