So Sara, tell me abit about yourself, like how did you get into this business?

Well, every since I was a child I had always had the dream in the back of my head wanting to be a singer and being on that stage singing to millions of people, but people told me I would never make it,  but it just gave me drive to try harder, I didn't have much faith. I started to study journalism and got into concert reviews for a magazine called ‘Shuffle’ I enjoyed it but it was what I wanted. Meeting some of the artists and talking to them gave me the confidence to go out and really try to get my dream. And here I am today!

Wow! so what do you miss about your normal life now that you are a popular singer?

I guess I miss those lazy Fridays to be honest, and those weekends of just hanging with you friends and having a good time.. Oh! And I miss my family so much! I hardly see them with so many tours and concerts.

Yeah, that must be difficult. Would you say your songs have any meaning to them in particular ‘Stand Alone’ your latest single?

Definitely! I always try to make my songs believable in the way that there is meaning to them. Many of my songs are just about enjoying life while you have the chance. ‘Stand Alone’ is one of most meaningful songs as It is about starting to grow up and becoming more independent. As a child I struggled with being independent so I almost describe my journey into who I am today with the lyrics in my

songs. Its quite cool!

It is very cool! How would you describe your

Music to people who have never heard it?

I would like to think that everyone has had the chance to listen to my music! (laughs) But I would describe my music as being a mixture between Rock&Roll and Dubstep, weird mix I know! But that’s the only way I can describe it! You can have a good dance and sing along with my music.

Some good shower singing songs! So if you had the chance to sing with any other artist who would you most like to duet with?

Wow! That’s a hard one, there are so many other artists out there that I have so much

respect for because their music is amazing!

I love Rhianna and think her talent is insane, I also love Ed Sheeran and love his subtle, smooth voice. But then the band I would love to work with in a track together would be Kings Of Leon. I recon out talent and music types are kind of a like and plus I think they would be a right laugh!

 That would be so awesome! So who's your biggest musical influence?

I would say that my biggest musical influence is the artist that really made me believe is Adele. Listening to her songs and the power in her voice it is extremely moving! As you can see I have a wide range of music tastes, I’m just one of those people that enjoys every kind of 

musical talent.

That’s a great way to be! So any kind of love interest come about since you have been in the public eye?

Not really, I mean I have had a bit of

attention from some fans and other

artists which I shall not name (laughs).

But to be completely honest I really want to concentrate on my music at the moment and my future being a singer. This has been my dream for so long and I really don't want to ruin that getting myself into some kind of love triangle thing that is posted all over the press. It would just be unprofessional. Plus I’m new in this music world! I really don't want to make any enemies before I even really started my career.

That’s a smart move! So what is in for the future of Passion In

America?

Well, lots of tours, signings and

Concerts and more interviews (laughs). I

enjoy it all and so will take each day in my stride and continue to follow my dreams! I recon that’s the only way to be. No one knows what the future holds for anyone.

Well thank you for allowing us to chat to you! We cant wait to see more from Passion In America!

It’s fine! thank you so much, I enjoy chatting to all my fans! 

Right, for the last two weeks your fans have been voting for the top 6 questions to ask you. So here they are…

Why are you called Passion In America?

(Sarah Mills-Hicks, Tavistock)

Well, when I was younger I was always a fan of the bright lights and business of the American life and one of my goals was to travel America, so I guess America was my passion and so put together you got Passion In America, it’s just one of those lucky things you think up! (laughs)

What your idea of a perfect boyfriend?

(Molly Megicks, Liverpool)

(Laughs) I have always fancied the tall and dark haired type. So I would say my

perfect boyfriend would be a averagely tall man, with longish dark hair, not short and spiky! Who can really make me laugh and who I can really have a good time with! 

Do you play any instruments?

(William Lane, Ireland)

When I was six I played the keyboard and then performed in front of my class

assembly and totally messed up! So every since have never touched the keyboard (laughs). But I have always wanted to learn how to play the drums, to me it looks really fun just banging away at something and actually making some kind of tune.

Where did you grow up?

(Isaac Daxford, Manchester)

For a main majority of my life I lived in Devon, just on the outskirts of Plymouth, in a little area called Woolwell. It wasn't very big and was mostly well known for homing the big super market

Tesco's! I then moved down Cornwall for a bit which I really enjoyed because there is great scenery down there.

 

If you had an elephant where would you hide it?

(Jordan Ale, Doncaster)

(laughs) that’s so random! But to be honest I’m rubbish at

hiding things and keeping

Secrets, so I would probably try to hide it in my garage but no doubt someone would find it!
