 This months interview is with the actress/singer Cristina Lake.
Cristina: It’s been really fun, I decided to try out a music career and it’s gone brilliantly, I know I don’t have the perfect voice but my album has done pretty well and I’ve met some amazing people through it, the support has also been incredible, people have said some very nice things about my album which has been a great bonus and I’m glad it went down so well because I was pretty worried about failing.
You started off as an actress at a young age was it tough being in the spotlight?
Cristina: No because I wasn’t in the spotlight, I was 16 when I first started filming Home Sweet Home and when it came out I was almost 18 years old. I never had attention due to my film career, The attention only really started when I began my music career. With the film career, I guess the films were successful and people may have recognised me sometimes but I never had huge attention from media or fans of whatever, I guess it’s a good thing, but it was easy really.
Your music career has taken off so well, were you surprised?
Cristina: Yeah 100%. I kind of thought people would want me to fail because they may have thought, oh look at this actress trying to become a singer but I’ve been bowled over by the response to my album, I was so nervous about it and for it to do so well has been great, it means that I have this option of a career in music which is something I’ve always wanted to do, music was my first love and acting always came second.
Are you finished with the acting?
Cristina: No not at all. I’m gonna be in London filming a new movie called Long Walk Home in September. I play an English girl so that’s a challenge, I’ve got to start working on my accent. I don’t really know where to begin. But I’m always gonna try to be involved in film but now I’ve got the chance to do different things, I’m young and I like to think I’m fearless, there’s so much that I want to do in my life and music and film is just a small part of that.
There has been reports that your dating fellow musician Jack Frost, any truth in that?
Cristina: I’m good friends with Jack and we get along really well and we’re similar in personalities but I’m not gonna be shedding any light on those rumours. It could be true but then again it may not be. If I’m in a relationship I consider that a part of my private life and although I don’t mind people speculating I’m not really gonna be talking about that. I wanna be known for my talents rather than who I’m dating, so I’m sure your all interested to know if it’s true or not but I can neither confirm or deny those rumours I’m afraid.
So would you describe yourself as a partygirl?
Cristina: Not massively, I like to go out and have a few drinks with friends, I'm just a typical 19 year old really, I love to have fun with friends and sometimes it has gotten a little bit out of hand in the past but you learn from things you know and I think it's better to do something and learn from it, whether that's drugs or whatever. I'm not saying take drugs, but I'm saying that no matter how old you get your always learning and those things you learn when your younger shape your life, that's what I think anyway.
Oh well, so what’s next for you on the music front?
Cristina: I don’t know. I was never planning doing a big solo tour, if I get offered the chance to tour with someone, like I did with Jack then I’ll consider it, but performing live is the most scary part about the music career for me, I’m so nervous but hopefully with time I’ll become confident in my live performances.
Are you comfortable with everything that comes with fame?
Cristina: I’m comfortable with most things, but there are times when I’m less comfortable with things, like photo shoots, I know that’s a big part of my career but I’ve never been a big fan of it. I just get on with things really though. I’m pretty easy going, it takes a lot to annoy me.
What about a follow up album?
Cristina: I’ve already started to write songs for a possible follow up. I’ve got some great ideas and hopefully I’ll have some time to try them out and maybe get a new album out in the new year or even at the end of the year, I wanna try to build on my debut and hopefully I can continue in the same sort of way the first album went in. I don’t wanna rush it though, if the songs come easy enough then great but I’m not gonna worry about it if nothings happening.
So you’re a fan of writing?
Cristina: Yeah, I wrote all of the songs on my debut album and I’ve written a couple of scripts which is something I’m gonna focus on in the future, I’d love to write a play or a movie and maybe in the future I can create my own masterpiece, I guess that’s sort of what I’m working towards.>>> You can buy Cristina’s debut album “Nola” from all good record stores and you can download it via itunes and Cristina’s official website.
