Apryl- Rising above the stars! EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
The new rising teen pop sensation Apryl Milano is the latest big thing! But no other magazine has managed to scoop up an exclusive interview with this rising star, which is of course until we came a long! Read on for the exclusives regarding; the new album, being in the spotlight and the big celebrity do’s and don’ts!
Us: So then Apryl! It must take some getting used to; becoming an overnight pop sensation like you must be tough. Has everything changed in your life following the record deal? And just by how much?
A: Yes! It is taking quite a lot of getting used to! It’s crazy; my life has just completely changed. I don’t even know how to express the overwhelming feeling I get every day, and I am so so thankful for it all. I’ve never imagined that I would be able to one day sit here and talk about my success story, or my latest album release dates, or the awards I’ve managed to collect. I mean, I've always aspired to be a pop star. Ever since I was a little girl, you’d just see me there with my fake little high school musical microphone belting out all the random pop songs that I’d heard. And then I started writing my own music and belting that out instead. I’m sure my mum still has the various embarrassing videos of the little ‘concerts’ I’d hold at home for every one!
Us: Well I’m sure you were just as talented then as you are now! We’ve heard there’s going to be a new album coming soon? Tell us what it’s about; we’ve all been really hyped up since it was announced!
A: Yes, I have been recently working on an album- ‘Heart Attack’-, especially after the success of my single before; we thought we’d expand our horizons and release a whole album. It’s taken a lot of work, but I know that everyone will love it! What I really like about this album is that I was given the total freedom to choose the songs that were going to appear on the album, which is fantastic, because what usually happens is my manager; Rob, goes through and picks out his favourites and those are what get released but this time he’s given me the choice of whatever I like the most! It’s really great!
Us: Some of your fans seem to think that this album is mainly going to be focused on the break up between you and Adam. Is this true, or are these simply rumours?
A: My fans know me too well! I don’t really like to talk about things so… personal … to me and my private life, you know? But I have seen these rumours spreading and I suppose this would be a good time to clear the air and just come out with it! This album is going to be featuring a lot of ‘heartbroken’ songs. I was going through a bit of a rough time when I was writing all these songs, one thing happened after another and then when Adam and I split, I suppose I turned to music the way I always do for comfort. I can tell you though, Adam and I didn’t split because he was doing drugs, nor am I out for any kind of revenge against him! Those are simply rumours that need to be dismissed, completely false.
Us: Well, we do have to say it is such a shame that you and Adam are over; you two were such a cute couple! But you know what they say- there are other fish in the sea. Talk to us about work though, is it awkward? Is it strange? I mean your both represented by the same record label aren’t you? How do you get over working with your ex?
A: It is pretty tough at times, there are a lot of déjà vu moments but, work is work and we just have to suck it up and get on with it, you know what I mean? I suppose we do always have that huge air of awkwardness around but we tend to just push it aside and work on getting the music recorded first. We actually worked on a duet together recently, there’s not much I can say other than that without my manager killing me, but, when the record is released in April, you can listen to it for yourself. It was a pretty intense song to record, and it dug really deep into our personal lives, so do check it out!
Us: Ahh, you really shouldn’t do that you know, you’ve got us all on our toes now. But, I mean, it’s going to be released in April! That’s just two months away! The release date is said to be special, yet another thing we need you to clear the air for us about, what’s so special about the 5th?
A: April the 5th is the day my best friend and older sister managed to kick cancers back side! Amy is probably the most important person in my life, and always has been. She gave us quite the scare when she was diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia- which is cancer of the blood- and she’s living proof that even when everybody else is determined to put you down and say you can’t make it, you can prove them wrong. We were told that she was going to die within the first month of diagnosis but she surprised us, and well, here she is today! That’s why April the 5th is a very important date for me, she’s the one who is single headedly responsible for my success. It was through her that I found my strength and determination. Hundreds of people have laughed and mocked me saying I’d never be able to make it anywhere, but she would always be there for me and remind me that if I really wanted to, I could achieve anything.
Us: Wow, we’re glad she’s a lot better now! Let’s talk about touring though? Will there be a ‘Heart Attack’ tour any time soon?
A: Yes! Hopefully after I finish work on the clothing line, we’re going to be touring America, visiting various parts of the country and just having a fun time in general! The tour is going to start on the 15th June and any details can be found on the official website. I’m so pumped up for this tour it’s unbelievable, I’ve never been so excited for something before in my life. There will be a competition held, and two lucky fans will be able to come tour with me, details are not definite though but just stay tuned and I’m sure you’ll find out!
Us: Wow, sounds amazing and you’re getting us pumped up for it all with you! It’s been a pleasure talking with Apryl Milano, thank you for the exclusive interview, and we hope to see many more success stories! All the best with your album, clothing line and tour, we might even hopefully see you again!
