Last week we introduced you to up and coming London-based singer songwriter Chiara King, and her new single, ‘Dancing With Me’<\/a>, featuring Remo The Rich Boy. We really enjoyed the song, and felt our readers would enjoy learning a bit more about Chiara, and so Lisa<\/a> took the opportunity to ask her a few questions.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Hi Chiara! Lovely to meet you! You’re a singer songwriter, and you’ve been interested in singing since you were very young. Tell us something about that. What got you interested?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I can remember, I have always loved performing, dancing, singing and acting, from nursery through school, doing musicals and singing in the chapel choir. Having taken a year out before university, I travelled solo around Asia. I questioned what I really wanted in my life and last year I realised that I don\u2019t just want to follow the typical path of university and getting a job in the city. I couldn\u2019t just live my life as others wanted me to. I had to make my life fulfilling for myself as I am the one living it. My passion has always been singing and I decided that this is it. I love making good music with a strong beat and I want to make people feel happy and MOVE!<\/p>\n

What have you done besides singing?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a Business student at King\u2019s College London but I have modelled in the past and I\u2019ve done some acting as well. I also have a passion for Yoga and decided to become a qualified yoga teacher when I was 17. I feel like doing all these things gave me the confidence me to follow my dreams in pursuing singing for real.<\/p>\n

We see you supported Jason Derulo recently, along with Fredrik Ferrier. We’ve met and interviewed Fred before – such a nice guy<\/a>! How was the experience of supporting Jason go? How did that come about? Was it hard to stay professional?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was pretty surreal! Especially it being my first performance debuting my single, I was so scared! Shortly after I released my song on Spotify, my manager got an email from the production team, asking if I wanted to perform live in about 10 days. They didn\u2019t mention who else was performing. I am always up for a challenge so I said, “why not\u201d. Very last minute, I found back up dancers and we put a choreographed dance together. I only found out that Jason Derulo was scheduled to perform when were told: \u201cyou can\u2019t have the green dressing room because that is the one Jason Derulo is using. You are singing right before him.\u201d That was a \u201cno pressure\u201d moment! It ended up being such a great experience and totally unexpected. Fredrik was also really fun to work with and I\u2019m happy I gained a friend from this experience. I love his music. He is a great singer and a lovely person.<\/p>\n

Do you have any other gigs lined up we should watch out for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will have to watch this space, who knows what we have in store in the next few months so keep your eyes peeled \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Your debut single, ‘Dancing With Me’, is doing really well! Did you write the song, and if so how did you come up with the concepts? What’s the songwriting process for you? How did Remo The Rich Boy come to feature on the track?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wrote ‘Dancing With Me’ together with Remo, an incredibly talented artist and rapper from Venezuela<\/a>, we even share the same birthday haha! It was originally something we wanted to try and play around with the beat, but ended up being the song we both liked. Working with Remo, and Juan the producer of the song was a great experience. It was not easy as Venezuela is having many difficulties and political instability, but this song proves that everything is possible even with all the obstacles we had to overcome. I hope to work with them again and I developed great admiration for the people of Venezuela. They never give up! Fuerza Venezuela!<\/p>\n

We really enjoyed the video for ‘Dancing With Me’ too, and we enjoyed the bits in the cinema where you’re watching yourselves, and the video on the old JVC TV. Who thought of those ideas?<\/strong><\/p>\n
