Interview

Interview with me and the Vixxen twins, Tina and Kelly.

Me: Hello girls, I would love to know why you both started rapping?

Tina: Well when we was yunga we never had the best life. We was always struggling to find money for food and clothes. It hasn’t been easy for us growing up.

Kelly: And that’s what we rap about, we rap about things we have been through and the bad things still happening in the world today.

Me: Interesting, how long have you been rapping for?

Tina: Well for as long as I can remember we have been scribbling words down and now both of us being only 20 there’s always room for learning something new about rap.

Kelly: Yeah some people seem to forget that were so young and some wouldn’t believe the problems we have, but I guess that’s life ennit.

Me: If you had to describe each other’s personalities what would you say?

Kelly: Well Tina likes to take charge and think she knows best, I’d rather keep my head down.

Tina: No I am in charge ha-ha nah but Kelly is the brains behind the writing, she can put anything into a rap in seconds and it will reach number one straight away.

Me: You girls seem to love rapping, is there anything else that you like to do In your spare time?

Tina: Yeah course there is.

Kelly: There’s a lot more to us than our music talents.

Tina: We like to.

Kelly: Cut shapes out on the town.

Tina: Were just like every other young person we like to eat…a lot, watch T.V, chill with our friends all that.

Me: Sounds like fun, have you got any upcoming tours, wed all love to know

Both laugh

Tina: We have one very soon, were touring all over the U.K this summer, so watch out.

Me: This summer that’s soon! I’d like to talk more about your past, you talk about struggles and that’s what you rap about what kind of struggles?

Tina: Well we don’t know our mom.

Kelly: Yeah we were bought up by our dad.

Tina: We never knew our mom so there’s nothing to miss about her though. Our dad found it hard to cope with us all.

Me: Us all? What do you mean?

Tina: Well out other brothers and sisters.

Kelly: Our older brother and sister knew my mom because they were older when she left. Then we have our other brother who isn’t much older than us and he doesn’t remember her. Our younger brothers don’t remember her either.

Tina: Our older brother and sister were affected a lot when she left and they don’t talk about it. They both got into drugs but it’s getting better now as my sister is over half a year clean and our brother is in rehab.

Me: How awful, I have listened to your songs before and there’s a lot more to the story than that.

Tina: yeah there is.

Kelly: We don’t want to discuss it. If you wanna know like you said listen to our music.

Me: Okay girls, it was lovely to talk to you.

This forms the frame work for my double page spread and gives me an idea of what i will write about the artists.
