Zitat des Tages von Astrid S:
I grew up in a tiny village on top of a mountain and have been skiing and singing all my life!
I think I just have to be myself. No one can write the songs I do, and no one can sing the way I do - I believe that's important for every artist to remember.
You never know what to expect when you're in America, especially when I've been in L.A., where you walk out the door, and suddenly there's a monkey bicycling by in front of you. There are just so many weird things going on there, but it's fun.
I used to be so into soccer. I would wear soccer team hoodies, another soccer team's pants, and Manchester United earrings. And I had, like, five of everything, so I would just wear the same outfit all the time!
You really notice how you're growing when you go on tour. To be able to tour around the world, and do bigger venues every year, is really, really cool.
I use my phone to record notes or hum melodies. That's how I remember them.
The music industry has become so unpredictable. And I think people know that if someone has a Number One song, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have several ones after.
Sometimes you might feel like you're not good enough or unique enough, but everyone is! Everyone has different personalities.
I love doing concerts, and I think my songs get another expression and energy when they are being played live.
I'm very visual when I write and get a lot of inspiration from scrolling through Tumblr or Pinterest. I have picture folders to most of the songs I've written. It would be cool to release it as a book one day!
I went to a soccer high school, and it was really different to being on 'Idol.' So I decided to quit school, and I put all my energy into music, and things started to happen.
I listen to everything and find parts about a song in the lyrics/melody/chords/production that I like and can be inspired by when I write my next song.
I just want to make good music, and as long as I'm happy with it, the charting isn't that important to me. Although, the best feeling is having a song you're very happy with and also having it at Number One!
