This Week's Fan Questions, Answered by Joss!

Music Industry - Charlie B.
Q. How did you make it into the music industry?
A. Well its actually a bit of a long story, so I will try not to drag it out too much. When I was a young lass I wanted to be a vet, I love all animals still today but back then it was a bit of an obsession, I used to fall asleep in barns with the dogs and write poems for bunny rabbits and lost but not forgotten hamsters. My mother owned a horse called mercury Fire Fly, shortened to Freddie. I loved freddie bue he was too big and slightly naughty, so I wasn't aloud to ride him out alone. So, I used to go up to the stables every week end on Saturdays to ride him. My teacher was a guy called Chris Brake; lovely man, very good teacher.
One day my mother told me we had to sell Freddie, of course I was devastated and asked the obvious question.... "But why mum? Why?" 
"Well Joss, it's very expensive to keep a horse, with the field and food and paying for livery ect ect ..."
So my mind started to think of ways to fix such a problem. I decided to get a job asap, knowing that the problem was money it seemed like a simple solution. Then I realised I wasn't too brilliant or interested in anything when it came to math or science, so I had ran out of ideas because every teacher had told me my whole life if you don't get good grades it will be almost impossible for you to get a job in the future. So I was up shits creek really.
To the sofa I went, switched on the box to watch some music, any kind will do ... There was this show called "star for a night" I used to watch it every week, then it hit me ... this was the solution. I knew I could sing at least in tune, and if I'm honest some people on this show couldn't do that . So, long story short, I wrote a little note, recorded song half songs on a cassette with my karaoke machine, sent it off to the address displayed on the tv screen before the show .... and wam bam thank you man I have a job ! Wey ey! :) happy days .

Outside England - Jonas R.
Q. If you had to choose another country to live instead of England, which country would it be?
A. Hmmmm.... First I was thinking wales because its right next door england ... But then I thought why not somewhere hot like .... Costa rica or Jamaica . Who knows, I just like England.

Hair Color - Amy B.
Q. Out of all the colors you had in your hair what one was your favorite and would you go back to it?
A. I really liked the purple with blue streaks.

Scarves - Sophie H.
Q. I know you always have a scarf on your microphone when you perform, and you wear them quite alot too. Which one is your favorite out of your collection?
A. I really like this light purple one with little bits of mirrored metal in it,it glints in the light. Good for the stage but it got kinda old. so my friend Andre brought me a new one in white. It's lovely too.

Lyric or Melody - Ana C.
Q. Which do you write first, the lyric or the melody?
A. Usually melody.

I'm sure it was really sad for you selling Freddie. I have a horse and I can't imagine selling her, she's my baby...
