REPORT on the rise
Daizy: I loved Hip Hop and R&B.
Phoebe: I was brought up on The
Jackson 5, so Michael Jackson’s
passing was really sad for me.
Motown has really influenced my life
in a big way through the years.
Jess: I loved R&B and I used to
actually be a part of a gospel choir.
You have all been doing your solo
thing in the music business for
a while now. Phoebe, I know you
were lead singer in Hope from
The X Factor. What was it that
made you keep chasing your
destiny even after being eventually
knocked out of the show?
Phoebe: When I was knocked out
we got a really good manager and he
got us on the Boyzone and Westlife
tour and he even got us to record a
song with Pharrell Williams and that
was what kept us going really. There
is only a certain amount of times you
can try to get a record deal and then
it gets to the point where you don’t
give up, but you just know it’s not
going to happen. Then I got a call for
this new girl band and it saved me. If
I wasn’t in this girl band, I would still
be out there, trying to make it.
I know that Jess won a Rockstar
competition and got the golden
opportunity to fly to NY and record
with Alicia Key’s producer. Wow!
So what was that like for you?
Jess: It was really amazing, he was
really talented. He has become a
really big inspiration for me and it’s
really nice that he even keeps in
contact with me now.
And I know that Daizy won Hugo
Girls Can’t Catch
Urban Rules in 2006. Tell me a
little bit about how winning that
competition has helped you get to
