The young singer

When I’ve interviewed talented people before they’ve usually been older than 13. Not so this young girl, who was voted one of six winners in France’s largest TV talent show for children which is decided by the public. As a result, they have a single being written for them, due out in June and are currently working on the video. 

 

Between rehearsals, we had a chat...

DH: When did you first discover you can sing?

Grace Rose: My mother says that I sung before I could speak, but the earliest I remember is when I got a karaoke machine for my sixth birthday. I went to Sylvia Young theatre school in London when I was seven for a year every Saturday morning, and the singing teacher wanted to move me up into the 14-year-old group, but we then left to live in South Africa, so it never happened, but it really encouraged me.

DH: So have you had singing lessons since then?

Grace Rose: About three months ago I started lessons again this time with an ex-opera singer, who I adore, for half an hour once a week. I was starting to find that I was a bit stuck on my own and needed some help. I can really hear the difference since I’ve been going and my range has improved so I can hit notes and do songs I couldn’t have before.

DH: What kind of music do you like? Who inspires you?

Grace Rose: I listen to all types of music. My influences include Peggy Lee, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, Doris Day and Maria Mena. My favourite types of music are Jazz, R&B and Soul. My favourite bands are Oasis, The Cranberries, The Kooks, The Saturdays, Baby Shambles and Destiny’s Child.

DH: Who are you listening to at the moment, on your ipod?

Grace Rose: My ipod is glued to my ear on the way to and from school and my recent downloads include Duffy, Enrique Iglesias, The Eagles, James Morrison and Beyoncé.

DH: What are your favourite and worst subjects at school?

Grace Rose: My favourite is English and my worst is history.

DH; So what happens next?

Grace Rose: We’ve been signed by Heben Music (Warner France) and are on iapiap Canal J regularly.

I’m also in a school band called Full Stop. I’m on vocals with Adrien Deverdun on guitar, Alexandre Gimard on bass and Romain Girardi on drums and we’re performing as part of the Easter celebrations in the principality of Monaco, on Saturday April 11 from 3pm on Rue Caroline, so we’ve been rehearsing every Sunday for the last few weeks!

And the single is being released in June, so that’s exciting and a really big break for me. I can’t believe my luck. I get flown to Paris for the filming of the TV shows, and mid-May for the recording of our single. That will be my first experience of a professional recording studio so it will be amazing. The group's name will be announced just before the single is released, so I can’t wait to find out what we’re actually going to be called. If that goes well we should get to make an album, so fingers crossed!
