Lauren and Freya are a new duo pop group and go by the
name Starlight Skies. They just about to release their debut album 'Adventure'
so I went to see them to talk about it. They were asked how they came up with their
name for the band. Lauren replied “we put the names that we liked best into a
hat then picked one out randomly and that's what we went with.” They have just
released their first single 'mystery' from their first album. They were asked
what their fans thought about it. Freya said “ Our fans love our music, we used
to do youtube videos of covers of songs which is how we were first seen by a
record company and we write our own music, which is personal to us” Lauren adds
“Our fans support us in the decisions we make. We always listen to their
feedback via twitter, facebook as well as chat to them.”
“It was a mind blowing
experience”
The duo went to the same primary and
secondary school and have been best friends throughout these years, this is
when they realised the talent they had and wanted to pursue at it so decided to
start a band and make videos. Lauren “at first we didn't know if anyone would
watch the video, then the views started going up and people seemed to be sharing
and showing friends so we were getting a lot of positive feedback, which made
us feel overwhelmed.” They write songs together and have even wrote songs for
other artists such as Miley Cyrus. Freya is currently learning to play the
guitar, so she can play their own songs when they go on tour.
I asked them if they had never been seen by an record company would they of went down the xfactor route. Freya replied “No we wouldn't go down that route, however we don't blame those who do, it is a very hard industry to get noticed in and we are very lucky that we did, this is why we appreciate everything that gets thrown out way.” You may wonder why they decided to call their first album 'adventure' this is what they had to say. Lauren answered “we feel like this is a start of a new adventure and because people are always their own adventure which sort of relates to other people. Starlight Skies have currently been recording a song for a future Disney film, which is to be released sometime next year. The duo have also been a support act for Take That recently, Freya said “it felt great knowing you were on the same stage as Take That and performing in front of so many people, it was a mind blowing experience, which we learned a lot from.”
