Amelia Interview
She has recently just began to shine in the limelight with her number1 ‘someone like you’, she stormed the Brits winning 3 awards, all the celebs are talking about her, all the fashion magazines and designers want her, now Amelia Cooper is thinking BIG things for the future. So we decided to have an interview with her to ask her what it was really like to get to where she is today and what the singing fashion icon’s plans are for the future.

How and What age did you realise you had something special with your singing?
‘well I think the first time I realised I had something special is when I won a local talent competition, I mean my town was only small but everyone who watched gave so many complements to my parents and too me saying that I was amazing which at the time i was only Twelve so I didn’t really know a lot about the music industry but it was at that moment when I decided I wanted to be a ‘pop star’.’

What are your first memories of performing?
‘Well my first one is the local talent show like I said before, then after that I a few people out of the area started to recognise who I was, and I performed at a children’s festival in Leeds, it wasn’t a massive crowd but I remember that’s when I started to develop in performing and wanted to push myself to get further.’

How difficult was it too get to where you are now?‘Honestly, when I had fully matured at around 16 I decided that I was going to push myself, send demo’s to all the big major music labels like Sony, EMI, Epic records and only Epic let me go in and meet with them and sing them a few tracks I had written but then after that I never heard from them, so when Usher’s label finally found me and got back to me and let me in their doors and sing too them my whole life changed within them two hours. But it took me a few years, I was 16 when i started trying to put myself out there, now I’m 19 but I honestly would not look back, I am so grateful for them giving me my brake.’

Who inspired you to do music and to really push yourself?‘I love love love Beyoncé, I think she is absolutely amazing although she is very different to my style of singing I think that she so respected and presents herself with confidence and is not afraid to be herself, a lot of her songs helped me when I was going through the rough patches of getting turned down and generally growing up – she’s also a style icon! She’s just completely lush! A role model to all girls out there.’

What was it like when ‘someone like you’ got too the top of the charts? The big number1!‘Oooh my gosh, it was the best feeling ever! From going through all the rejection and disappointment it was just the most amazing moment of my life, to finally realise that I was accepted in the industry and by the public! I love my fans for loving me, and making my dream come true, things just got better from that moment.’

What was the reaction from your family?‘My family was just, I don’t know! Proud, happy, shocked! haha I think that’s the moment when they realised that my life and there’s was going to change completely, the stress just went away for them and the relief kicked in, my family are so proud of me and that honestly out of everything is the best feeling ever.'

Now us here at VIBERANCE have heard through the grapevine that you are thinking of  calibrating with Rihanna?‘Well all I can say is I love Rihannas music and so I’ve heard she loves mine, and I can confirm that my manager has been speaking with Rihannas and we are possibly going to write a song together. But I can’t say no more! You know I would if I could but I think Usher & the label would kill me haha.’

Now we know you’re a fashion icon to all of the young women, but we’ve heard rumours that you’re opening your own fashion label?
‘Well I can confirm that this is true! And I am so so so so sooo happy, it’s like all of my dreams have come true! The label is called ‘Lucy in Disguise’ I’m opening this for all of the main towns so it’s a new high street shop, it’s a mixture of some high street fashion and some designer wear, so mostly affordable prices for everybody, but for the designer wear even if you can’t afford it, we have a reasonable price that you can rent it for, so you can feel like a princess! I’m just so excited! Hehe’

Wow, that sounds amazing! So when are we likely to see this happen?
‘Well my sister is doing all of the ‘dirty work’ for me ha-ha like all what happens behind it i don’t know what I’d do without her, I just choose the clothes and choose where we will be based! I mean I have to keep singing, that’s how I become famous and what I want to be known best by so that always comes first! It’s so exciting though!’

What’s your life like now?‘My life is like my dream come true; it’s everything I wanted and more. I don’t think I could describe it any better, that’s plain honesty of how I feel, truly grateful’

How has it changed?
'It has changed in the sense that I have obviously reached fame, so I have more opportunities too give back to my family, help out charities, open up my own fashion label, do an arena tour, do all these festivals! It’s amazing, but my family life has not changed, we all still live together in a new house, i do have an apartment but that is just work based only, but my family are still the same nutters as we was before, the only thing i can say is where happier! And it’s not because of the money or the fame, but because I’ve achieved my dream and it’s what they wanted for me too.'

What are your plans for the future?
'From now it’s onwards and upwards, I’m opening my fashion label, I’m doing another arena tour which I’m planning at the minute but this time its worldwide, I’m going to crack the USA and reach number 1 over there and i just want to be at that level where I know I couldn’t possibly do my job any better. I have BIG plans for the future and I’m happy all of my fans get too see it happen with me.'
