| Lydia Jarvis. |
Well its been a while since I've done this.
Anywho hello all! sorry it's been a while I've been very busy cause ya know I had things to do and food to eat. But I'm back with another interview. (you can read the other two here and here). This weeks one is with Lydia Jarvis.Lydia is a 17 year old girl from surrey who has racked up over 10,000 views on her youtube channel I came across her when I was scrolling through Instagram looking at all the entries for Christina Perries's competition to support her on her Irish and English tour. Who did I happen to come across Lydia of course. So as you can Imagine I clicked on to her profile straight away and noticed she had a youtube channel.
When I was scrolling through the videos on her youtube a channel I she was doing covers by artists like All Time Low The 1975 and 5sos. I instantly loved her channel not only because she had the exact same music taste as me*hair flip* but also because of her original songs I found I loved as well.
After about an hour of scrolling through her youtube channel I quickly asked her over Instagarm would she be interested in doing an interview. She replied saying she'd love to. We go to talking over Instagram and found we have so much in common. So without further ado I give you my interview. (haha that rhymed)
Why
did you start Youtube?
I’ve always been pesuing youtube for as long as I can
remember.I think danisnotonfire was the first person I subscribed to when he
was still living in his parents house .It always amazed me people could make a
living from uploading videos to youtube from there bedroom. I think the main
inspiration (among many others) was 5 seconds of summer. I ve been a fan of
theres for about two years now now and seeing them getting more popular with
every passing day amazes me. I think about there humble beginnings and comparing that to were they are now is just
incredible. I don’t think I could ever make it as far as them but there journey
gives me hope that one day I could make it somewere *looks off dramatically into
the distance*
Who
are your favourite artists?
(bands and singers)
Jamie Cullen
5sos
All Time Low
McFly
Pierce the veil
Jack Johnson
When
did you start writing songs?
Probably when I was about 8 I never finished them though.
When
did you start singing?
I’ve been singing in school choirs and concerts since I
was about 6. But my Mum only realised it was something I had a talent for when
I was about 14 and so she decided to get me singing lessons at school. She came
up to me after the concert really surprised that I could actually sing. I don’t
know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult ahaha
Who
would you like to be as famous as?
Like Megan Collins said in your interview with her Its
not really about the fame I would love to been known for my sound and the music
I create. Id love to have enough fans to do tours around the U.K or maybe
internationally (I can dream) that would be incredible.
When
did you start playing guitar/ukulele?
I was probably about 8 my mum gave me her old guitar that
her dad gave to her when she was about my age. I never really took it seriously
only learning the basic chords. Its only the last couple of years that I’ve
been learning a bit more and ‘permanently borrowing’ guitars from my dad. With
the ukulele I got a cheap one for my 15th birthday and just started
playing it then.
Do you
play any other Instruments?
Yeah I play clarinet piano I sing I play guitar ukulele
the drums and Cajon drum J
I’m classically trained in piano and clarinet those were the first instruments
I started playing so maybe that’s what inspired me to explore the more popular
musical instruments like guitar and singing.
What
was the name of the first song you ever wrote and who/what was it for?
Favourite
songs?
English love affair – 5sos (that song is definitely about
me)
Opposite of adults –Chitty bang (I can rap the entire
song)
Hold on till may –Pierce the veil
Goodnight moon –Go Radio
Miserable at best –Mayday parade
The irony of chocking on a lifesaver –All Time Low
Do you remember –Jack Johnson
She falls asleep –Tom Fletcher
Ultra violet –McFly
Homesick –Catfish and the bottleman
I
really loved your cover were you did split screen and sang alongside Luke
Hemmings were did you get the idea?
Theres an awesome YouTube musician called Izzy
Naylor who did one with Calum Hood he saw that and she eventually got signed with
John Delf who frequently works with 5sos. I didn’t think that would happen to
me but I just love the idea of singing alongside Luke Hemmings or anyone else I
admire. I’m hoping one day I could duet with him but that is very very far off
in the future
Celebrity
crush?
I have a lot and I meen a LOT but if you forced me to
marry one I would probably pick Calum Hood sorry Luke Hemmings Will Poulter
Dylan O’brien Niall Horan Harry Styles Dan Howell and Ansel Elgort I’ll come
back for you one day.
What
influenced you to start music?
I’m not really sure for as long as I can remember I have
been musical when I was 2 I was in a club called mini maestros so maybe it
started there ahaha. Ive always been involved in choirs orchestras and other
musical groups but I only started taking guitar and singing seriously in the
last few years. To give you a short answer I don’t think I was really ever
inspired in the conventional sense to start music it has always just been
there.
What
is your dream venue to headline?
I’d love to play at the royal Albert hall or the O2
academy in Brixton. Obviously those are both very far off reach but maybe I
could do it one day.
I would like to say Thank you to Lydia for agreeing to do this and taking the time out of her day to reply to my emails and instagram messages im going to leave the links to her social medias including youtube down below.
Once again i would like to say thank you to Lydia and I'm going to leave you with my favourite cover of her which I mentioned earlier on in the post.
thanks for reading
