Artist interview
How did your dream kick off?
Who is your inspiration in music? Who do you look up to?
Being a part of an Asian family how are you motivated to make your own music?
How do you handle those who criticise your music?
In all honestly I take it with a pinch of salt. It does not bother me in the slightest way. There's a saying which states: you can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.
Where do you aim to be in a few years time?To be honest I don't like to plan too far ahead just due to how unpredictable the future can be. I just hope I can be an established artist whose music gets better and the support becomes bigger.
What matters most to you the support or fame? The support without a shadow of a doubt. Fame is not something I make music for. I make music because it helps me express my emotions in different ways.
Has music always been your main priority or is there something else you thought you would be doing?
In what ways are you trying to keep your dream alive?Right now I'm just writing lyrics every other day, improving my flow, getting my songs out there and establishing myself as an artist. The internet is the biggest avenue in which my music has taken off and I hope to maintain and surpass my music even further.
Music has always been a hobby and truth be told it still is. Right now I'm not in a position where I'm prepared to sacrifice what I've got in order to gain a musical career. Main priorities right now are family and education.
I guess the challenges and obstacles I face as an Asian motivate and influence me to write. I actually live in a predominately white area and have suffered racism face to face. Being a Muslim, I see certain things portrayed in the media which I know are not right. I attack all these problems through the avenue of music and hope I can make a positive change.
My experiences in life and the people within my life are my biggest inspiration in music. There are so many artists I look up to. If I had to pick three I'd say Jay Sean, Eminem and Drake.
I use to always write lyrics on whatever I could find, but I didn't have any access to a studio or any kind of musical equipment. This all changed when a friend of mine introduced me to a guy called K2. K2 had a studio in his house and invited me to record at his place. From then on the rest is history as they say.

My final product: Double page spread
My final product: Contents page
For my content page i have used the same colour scheme. Also I have used clumns and have used 3 pictures for my contents page.
My final product: Front cover
For my front cover i chose
to lay it out this way because it look more appealing to the audience. The colour scheme for this is Black, Gold, Grey. I chose these colours because these colours make my magazine stand out. For my picture i have used a medium close up on my model and also i have made the model towards the camera. This catches the customers attention. I have also included features such as tagline, selling line, teasers, competition button, date of issue, barcode and price
