Drafting & Planning - Articles part 2

After furthering my double page spread I found that my font size was extremely too large from my feedback on my first draft and so researched into the size of font through research into double page spreads. I found that the size of font on a article within a magazine is usually point 9. From this I decreased my font size but found that I needed much more article pieces and so added to which and wrote;

"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 has had a real inspiration in his music, ‘My dad always taught me to live my dreams because one day you're not going to be to dream of it.’ The artist stated that his particular music taste stimulated from the old records in his father’s attic, which his mother would listen to before he was born, feeling a connection to her that only music can bring.

 After his first album release Tristan hopes to pursue more into his career and is starting to plan his world tour ‘being able to show the world my music would be the biggest honour I could have and even considering that as a possibility is immense During this year Tristan will be travelling to 11 cities throughout the UK, he’s still extremely excited to go around the country.  Tristan says that the cities he are visiting are receiving extremely exclusive and quite intimate gigs, much more relaxed compared to the world tour that (Maybe!) will happen.

A lot of people assume that all the hate I get effects my outlook on the music industry, when actually it gives me a better one!’ Says Tristan. Who goes on to say that  a lot of people assume his fame was just given to him through an already established artist, but hasn't really worked for it though the artist had already been in the industry for more than 4 years prior to his ‘lucky break’. Receiving quite a lot of people take out their dislike to the artist through social media, informing the artist of his rise to fame just being a ‘gimmick’. Tristan goes on to inform Fierce that actually the ‘hate’ he receives gives him more determination to prove them wrong and that actually he deserves all the success he has and will gain in the upcoming year. 

The upcoming artist wouldn’t in on much of his upcoming plans or what would be included on his new album but did inform us that the album would include some collaborations with artists you wouldn’t expect him to work with and has included something new that apparently nobody will see coming, ‘I really enjoyed the music I made last year, but I’ve changed and so has my music which I wanted to show on this album!’ The release date to the album is March 20th and with the excitement already building the ‘Tristanators’ are more than ready for the new release."
