Here is my article i made up a band called SDH(So Damn Hot) they are a funky pop duo, I got the idea of a duo from an existing called mini viva girl pop group but as their are so many pop group i thought i will make them a funky/pop because there are not many funky/pop bands out there.
i got the questions from looking out other magazine interviews and made them my own here is my interview:
Interview with SDH (So Damn Hot)
From youtube to fame in a month, with their first music video summer on the internet getting over 2 million hit in its first week and now this new funky/pop sensation have a number 1 under their belt.
This duo managed to get UK to fall in love with them in a matter of weeks which is a big task for two young ladies. The question on everybody’s lips though is will this funky/pop duo be another one hit wonder or will they be sticking around for a little while longer.
My first impressions of SDH where they were very fun bubbly carefree girls and were living the life that most teenage girls can only dream of, but once they start talking about their music I soon realised that these girls are very mature about their music and they really work hard even if they play harder.
I talked to Karina Green and Delilah Jones the faces of SDH. 17 year old Karina Green, half of the group and a collage drop out, was studying fashion but wanted to follow her dream of singing “I have been sing since I was a little girl and I knew that was what I wanted to do I mean I love fashion but it didn’t satisfy me I knew if I didn’t do this I would regret it for along time”. The other half of the group 19 year old Delilah Jones was a solo artist and used to be a backup singer for quite a few A- listers such a Rhianna, and our very own Pixe Lott. “Singing for the stars was great but I wanted to do my own thing, I had my own ideas and I wanted to pursue them”
The girls met at an audition for The Saturdays and when they didn’t make the cut they decided to form a duo and they hit it off right away, this was the start of a great friendship and the beginning of their success.
I met the Funky/pop pair at a small café in their home town Watford just outside London. They were a complete contrast to the atmosphere in the café it was like they walked into the wrong restaurant, their designer dresses and shoes were out of place to the paint splattered jeans and the of the chatter of the economic down fall and what was on telly last night.
But the girls looked so comfortable with the people around them everyone talked and laughed with them they even flirted with the guys, everyone within a 5 mile radius of them has a smile on their face even they waitress had a twinkle in her eye everybody loved these girls; they were so down to earth and ordinary yet so fabulous.
So girls how are you?
Yeh were good, nice to meet you how are you?
Good thanks, so how do you feel about getting you your first number?
Yeh yeh were so exited we didn’t expect this song to be this big, we love all the support were getting and all the fans, it so amazing.
When did you realise that your song has been so successful?
We don’t know we just heard our song on the radio everywhere and we were getting load of calls to be doing gigs it’s just so unreal.
How has life changed for you?
Oh it changed dramatically people recognise us everywhere it like so weird because Its like we’ve come from being strangers to like everybody’s friends, people just come up to us and start a convo it used to be so crazy when people used to do that, but now its like Hi how are you stranger (giggles)
What are the fans like?
Yeh their fab, their so lovely and funny, they come up and start sing our song in our face its like ok and they expect us to give them a mini gig and it like I(Karina) only came out to buy pint of milk. But the fans are great.
What is the weirdest think a fan has given you?
Ummm well there has been quite a few, a guy gave me (Delilah) underwear with his face on it (laughs) he was like here is something to remember me by.
Did you take them?
Yeh I didn’t want to be rude so I took them and I think I left them in the taxi on the way home (laughs) at least I still remember him.
Growing up in Watford who was your influences as you grew up?
Well love all the old Skool stuff like bobby brown and Tina Turner. And we loved the UK music scene like the spice girls and s club seven it quite embarrassing but we can’t lie we loved them.
What do think of the UK music scene now?
I (Karina) think that it’s really growing allot more UK artists are breaking through which is great, UK artists are becoming to be known all around the world which is what every artist wants they want to spread their music, joy and they want to entertain the world really and that is what we want to do to.
Are you glad that one of you didn’t get the chance to be in the Saturdays?
“Looked at each other with questioning looks on their faces and laughed.” Well yeh (Delilah) because if one of us did get into the Saturdays all this wouldn’t have happened, and I don think I would have done this with anyone else we have become great friends is a year, plus without the Saturdays none of this would have happened.
So what new stuff are you working on?
We are working on our album which is coming along nicely and we are working with some really cool people like N-dubz, chipmunk, and we just recorded a single with Egypt another funky house artists.
Oh so when is the album coming out?
In March next year
It’s great that you have a very unique individual look how did you come up with it?
Because I am (Karina) is into fashion, I used to buy outfits for gigs and I didn’t want us to look similar but individual so I used put us in the same outfit but using different material or colours or put us into the same outfit using different material which made which gave us an individual but similar.
So Karina as you the youngest so how did you family react when you drop out of collage to get into the music industry?
My mum was quite mad and the beginning because you know im young and I understood why she was mad because she was just protecting me but she came around and became very supportive dad had always wanted me to be a singer so he was very supportive from the beginning and he had a lot of friend in the music industry and he was the reason I got the audition for the Saturdays so if it wasn’t for my dad I wouldn’t be in this position so thanks dad.
I hear you guys will doing a UK tour are you excited about that?
Yeh were going all other the place, were gonna be on tour with girl aloud which is great we love them?
Wow have you met them yet?
Yeh there all lovely, and they give us so much support their like we love what your music and it like wow Girl aloud like us their like the hottest girl band in the UK right now, so it great.
