<div style="text-align: center;">�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Hey Tara, you had a great time in Dubai, tell us a little more about it.</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">I was performing at the VIP Room Dubai which was so much fun and I also had a couple of days off to chill out as well so it was work, rest and play!<br />
�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Describe your perfect event� Who are you playing with? Which venue? All the details are up to you.</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">The perfect event for me has to have amazing sound, that for me is the most important thing. When the sound is great it gives me so much confidence.� The people that come to the event are everything, they bring the life and energy.� When I�m onstage I give everything that I have and just want to share my voice and soul with the crowd and that energy just bounces back and fourth and gets more intense. That�s heaven to me.<br />
�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>You did a photoshooting with Dubainight, how was it ?</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">It was a great shoot and actually I have never had a photo shoot like this before, we shot on 3 different types of cameras 1 digital and 2 film cameras.� It was really interesting as 1 camera was like a Victorian one and I had to hold each pose for a few minutes rather than the usual click pose, click pose.� I�m really looking forward to seeing the results !<br />

<div>�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Artist career normally gets steered by influential events and people in our lives, what has been the biggest influence on your music?</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">My parents really influenced me as a kid as they allowed me the freedom to express myself and always encouraged me to follow my dreams.� Every weekend my Dad would drive me to rehearsals or auditions, I am so lucky they were so supportive.� I don�t know where my desire to perform came from as no one in my family are in the music or entertainment industry, I just always knew I wanted to sing and make music and it still feels as exciting today as it did when I was a kid.<br />
�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>What are some of your most recent achievements?</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">My biggest goal was signing to a major record label and to make 2 album.� Everyone told me it would be impossible as getting an album deal now is so hard, especially now a lot of people steal music and not buy it.� But I just knew it would happen and then last year I signed to Mercury/Universal and now I�m finishing my album, it�s a dream come true!<br />
�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Any upcoming collaborations we should know about?</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Well there�s gonna be a few features on my album and I�m workjng with some amazing producers from the pop and dance/EDM world but I don�t want to spoil the surprise and list the names here.� You're just gonna have to wait and see ;)<br />
�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>What are your hopes and aspirations for the future?</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">My dream now is to make my album a worldwide smash, I just want to tour and be able to put on a great show.� I hope to continue to write and make music till the day I die as I know there will always be something else I want to write about.</div>

<div>�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<strong>What motivates you to wake up and sing day in and day out?</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">I honestly don�t know, it just feels right.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">�</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>What questions of interest have I not asked and which you would like to answer? Answer ;-)</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Well I have my own dance music radio show called �I Like This Beat� it�s my passion project.� The show is a weekly dance music show and it started last year on FG radio in France and now its syndicated in 32 countries around the world, Emirates airlines and available worldwide as a podcast on iTunes.� I�m really proud of it and its so much fun to make and share music that I love.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">�<br />
<strong>And the last one, what are the three things that you each MUST take with you and why?</strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Make up! I never travel without a massive make up bag.� I guess I�m pretty insecure about how I look and am conscious of always trying to look my best and as a Virgo I have to always be prepared.<br />
�<br />
I have a Chanel handbag which is always with me, I love it as it�s a classic design and inside it has some essentials, my passport as I travel so much and things change all the time so I�m always ready to travel and inside there is also my ear defenders.<br />
�<br />
Ear defenders are so important for me as I�m in nightclubs so often and I have already lost 15% of my hearing on one side so I always wear my ear defenders in clubs now. Oh and sunglasses, if I have no make up on they cover up all my sins :D</div>
