Is it hard maintaining a sense ofstyle on tour? Yes, it’s very difficult as you’re travellingaroundall the time and you don’t have time to think about what you’re wearing, youjust get told! I love fashion and shopping so I can’t wait to finish the tourand do a well-deserved shop! So what’s your secret to looking amazing? Oh thank you! There is nosecret I just make sure that I eatwell and exercise every day!I also hardly drink alcohol which may helpand then I topit off with fashionable clothes! I’m lucky that I’m always on the move because otherwise I’d besat at home eating! Who is your musical inspiration? It is definitely Beyonce, I love her! She is of a similar genre to me and I love her music, sothat’swhat I aspire to be like in the future. Igo to all her gigs whenshe’s in Manchester and that is where I get my inspiration from. What’s it like being on stage in front ofthousands of peopleevery night whenyou’re on tour? It’s very tiring, I can tellyou that!I absolutely love it though, it’ssuch an adrenalin rush and as soon as Icome ofstage I want to go back on againand I miss it. I alwayslook forward to the nextnight of thetour even if I’m struggling to keep my eyes open!I can’t tell you how amazing it isto beon stage and see peoplesinging your songs back to you! So when is your next tour? I’m touring again in the summerof 2014 it willbegin in June but we are yet to realisethe finaltour dates, I will defiantly be doinga lot of gigsin Manchesterthis year, it’s myfavourite place.The tour will last until about September so it won’t be ahuge one, but I can’t wait to beback on stage! How difficult is it to keep a private life when you’re constantly in the public eye? It is very difficult to keep aprivate life away from the cameras but I don’t like keeping thingsfrom my fansand at the moment I haven’t got anything to be private about. I think when I have a family with children I will wantthem tohave the privacy, I lovehow Beyonce keeps her familylife very private and occasionallyrealises imagesof baby Blue, thefans love it when a new picture is realised and it makes it more special. Is there a man on the scene at the momentFreya? No, not at the moment, as I amquite new to themusic industry I am tryingto focus onthat more than anything at themoment and I haven’t got timefor a man! With my tours andnew albums I’m alwaysbusy and struggle to find the timeto even go out tomeet a mannever mind be in a relationship, I would like to meet someone in the future though and settle down with a family. How are your family takingyour fame? They don’t mind it, it has hardly affected our familylife, I still go round on a Sundayfor a Sunday dinnerand we still have family outings, theyjust have tokeep their lives a bit more private becausethe fameinvolves them as well and people are alwayslooking for information. Theyjust want what’s best for meand for me to be happy and Iam so happy at themoment! How did you get to this pointin your music career? I started out singing in Manchester town centre, just in the street with a micro-phone and a guitar and one day someone came along andsaid they know someone whois looking for a musician justlike

me. He gave me his number and the record labelsnumber. Atfirst I was a bit wary of texting or calling them but I thought ‘I’ve got nothing to lose’ I ending up going to their recordstudioand I just sangall day,we lost track of time because Iwas having so much fun and wewere so happy with how it soundedand we ended up being in there forhours when it was just meant to bean hour meeting! I amstill signed to that record label and they haveproduced all my albums!That day changed my life and brought me to where I am today. So what’s next? Well after my tour I am thinkingabout having timeoff touring and getting a new album together.I want the album to be a bit different to my normal music, so I can’t wait for you all to hear it! After the album I willbe touringagainwith all the new stuff and getting back to whatI do best! What’s your favourite thing todo when you’renot touringor writing songs? I love to spend time withmy family, I love having lazySundayswith my mumandjust watching films all day nothaving to beanywhere or haveanything to worry about. I also love going shopping, I can spendthe whole day ina shopping centre just looking at all the new clothesand fashions and updating my wardrobe! My favouritething to shop for is shoes!I used to work in a shoe shop because I’m so obsessed with them!!
