MORE Face to Face / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Katy Tiz is a pop artist straight out of the UK, is signed to Lava Records home to UK Diva Jessie J, and her debut single is called “Famous”.

You recently signed a recording deal with Lava Records/Universal Republic home of Jessie J. How did that come about?

I have been working for a long time but the final pieces of the puzzle came together quickly. Arjan writes did a review of one of my tracks called fire fire. That was on sunday, Harinder Rana called me on Monday. By friday night I was downing shots celebrating my first record deal!

When did you start singing and at what moment did you realize that you wanted to become a full time artist?

I was a late starter, I didn’t sing a note until I was 17 and I didn’t start full writing until I was 21.
I knew as soon as I stepped on stage for the first time that this is what I wanted to do.
It’s the only thing that comes naturally to me! I’m rubbish at everything else (my spelling should prove this)

Do you write lyrics? Co-write?

I write lyrics constantly, Im the girl who look like she’s on Facebook when I’m in a date but i’m actually writing lyrics. When you have as much to say as I do, it’s always on my mind.
I started by writing with my bro’s George and Rick, they crafted me and I learned by watching them. I like to co-write to bounce off other people! I believe some of my best songs have been written when there’s two points of view in a room.

Explain the record making process. Easy or Brutal?

I love it! Nothing in life is straight forward. Who wants to hear a entire record about how easy life is or how in love you are? Thats bull*%#. I want people to relate to every lyric I write!

You have a strong voice. Do you credit vocal lessons? Or did your voice develop naturally?

Thanks! *blushing* I think its a mix of both. Vocals lessons are an essential part of being an artist. Your voice is a muscle so you need to keep it strong so vocal lessons are about knowing how to achieve that. They are also about building your confidence.
Confidence is a big part of how you sing.

Who are some of your artist influences?

I love, Alicia Keys, Laryn Hill, India Arie. Those are the artists I will always go back to, they are the reason I fell in love with music.

Please describe you music...

Pop with a lick or urban and a lick or reggae. Boom!

Are you a fan of singing competitions like American Idol? The ‘X’ Factor?

I think they make great TV! Personally I wouldn’t do one myself, firstly because my language is fuc%&! terrible so nothing I do could be aired and secondly, I answer back to much! I admire the people that have the patience and self control to do the show. I have neither of these things.

Is an upcoming tour in the works?

I’ve been in the studio finishing the record for the past few months, but now we are at the end – It’s all starting to take shape now and the next step is to start touring.

Who would you love to tour with?

ooooo…right now, Rihanna

Describe your live show….

I’m not describing it to you! then you wont have to come to one! Come and see for yourself…
