After receiving from my first draft of my magazine I learnt that to improve my double page spread it is vital that I use drop capitols, find a way to separate the large blocks of text and for a more authentic interview the article could be written in a third person perspective discussing 'Tristan Turner's' Life. And so after this feedback I decided to re-draft my articles to ensure I have a more realistic approach to the double page spread. Though I have not completely finished the article the second draft is;
"After years of working in ‘The smooth groove’ record shop in Tooting, London with his father Tristan decided that the life of music was just too intriguing not to lead. The young man’s years of hard work has slowly paid off with his newly recognized indie guitar riffs, Tristan rises to the peak of musical success. With influences such as The Beatles and Hozier, Tristan feels that years of English music has inspired every piece of music he has written but now wants to try something that nobody has ever seen I’ve always been fascinated with how the Beatles rags to riches story and How truly spectacular their music was, but also I want to incorporate some new stuff Into my music that will really make a new name to Indie music,’ says Tristan and us here at Fierce can’t wait to see what this young man has installed as well as his worldwide fan base
Living as an only child and being raised only by being his father who owned a record shop meant Tristan spent most of days after school listening to the classics. ‘I'd sort out the vinyl's, help customers and just chat about about the most amazing artists and albums out there’ Slowly as Tristan grew up his taste for music developed and unexpectedly music became apart of his life that he just couldn’t let go of no matter what was expected of him ‘They all said I needed to find a well paid job not just something for fun but deep down I knew I was made to become a singer!’. After years of private schools within well respected institutes Tristan’s dream of music was put on hold as he followed his family’s wishes of getting a good education and making something of himself but by the age of 20 Tristan came to the realisation that no other career could make him happy,‘I had no clue I wanted to do music as a career, I didn't think you really could. like I knew people could become artists but I just never thought It was possible for someone like me. Until one day I thought ‘you know what?Music is my life!’.
Though Turner’s family initially weren’t supportive of the idea they came to a decision that as long as he was happy then it didn’t matter what career he has. But this didn’t change the hardships of trying to make it in the music industry ‘I played for hours and hours on end no breaks singing my heart out not because I needed the money but to prove something not only to my family but to myself!’ Tristan came to the bitter truth that maybe the music business isn’t for everybody and decided to put his passion for music on hold. During his last week working in small time bars, pubs and gigs something very unexpected happened to Tristan. ‘I was singing one of my original pieces that is now available on my new album when Ed Sheeran just happens to walk in, I was gob smacked and wanted to ask him so many questions but was performing and decided to make a good impression and keep professional and just keep playing. Once I had finished the gig I was packing up when Ed came up to me and told me he really enjoyed my material and thought that there was no other voice out there like mine! And it just sky rocketed from there!’
Now 2 years later Tristan is working on his first alum ‘This is life!' After being signed up to Ed Sheeran’s own record label, with offers from other records coming in by the dozens.
With such a high raise to fame in a very short amount of time people are questioning whether or not the fame will get to Tristan though he believes he will stay quite grounded through the help of his friends and family and spending most of his time with them when outside of the studio.‘The music industry was nothing like I expected’ as he states that the hardest thing about being a musician is having to create these extremely personal and heart felt songs and then suddenly just give it to the whole world, ‘like what if they hate it or misinterpret what I’m saying like it’s so important my fans enjoy my music as much as I do!’
The musical phenomenon is slowly becoming a world wide sensation with having a 5 night show coming up in the O2, London which sold amount in a matter of minutes. With over 100,000 people coming to see the artist this week alone it’s hard to comprehend how Tristan handles the pressure and since Turner has never played to an audience bigger than 100 it’s an immense jump ‘even the supporting acts have played to bigger audiences!’ States Tristan when Fierce asked him how he felt having so many people wanting to see him perform. With all the opportunities that have been available to Tristan it’s a shock to here that he had only played in small pubs until this year though releasing 3 singles last year all hitting the top of the charts. ‘I am eternally grateful for all the opportunities the music industry has opened up for me I still find it hard to cope with being under the media’s microscope constantly’.
Being raised without a mother has had a large toll on Tristan as he believes he has felt an absence that his father could not fill when growing up that never really left him. Apparently, his mother passing away at such a young age has created inspiration for the majority of the music he writes such as ‘Suzie’ a single Tristan Turner released last year which positioned No.1 for 6 weeks on the charts which was actually inspired by his mother. Although it is evident that Tristan has been deeply affected by his mother’s absence his father
From this, Tristan hopes to pursue more into his career and if lucky enough could go on to a world tour ‘being able to show the world my music would be the biggest honour I could have.’ Though Tristan is only travelling to 11 cities during his UK tour, he’s still extremely excited to go around the country."
