I found an SLS singing book in the library and started to skip school to take dance lessons. Since I was 2 I was glued to MTV and I wanted to be a performer like Madonna. My big sisters said I was weird and \u201cI should find a man to marry and settle down\u201d like them. I was struggling to cope. I used to drown myself in music to escape and planned for my escape. I saved up some money living with my dad. So one freezing winter morning 6am, I had booked a flight to London and my dad was going to work and he asked me what I was up to (my friend was waiting in a car outside!) I told him that I\u2019m going to London to become a star. Later overlooking London I had no clue where I would end up, where to sleep at night and I knew no one. I had never been to a big city before but when I arrived to Euston Road I just felt totally free! I started looking for producers and I found a small room and sung like 6 hours a day! Alpha Female EP happened after I fell in love and he suddenly left. I was so mad feeling like shit &#8211; \u201cWasting My Love\u201d just came out like vomit. Straight after we (me and the producer Fabian) recorded the songs and the same way I came to London, I flew straight to Los Angeles to promote it and to get over this guy! I hitch hiked to music summits and just turned up like &#8220;yo I\u2019m Scarlette &#8211; check my shit out!&#8221; They started playing it in few clubs and we hung out in 5 star hotel pools with my new friends and crashed movie events!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Talk us through your coming to London. It must have been scary for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yeah at first&#8230;I was not sleeping at night for about a week before the flight. I didn\u2019t have a job, didn\u2019t know anybody and I had saved up like \u00a3100&#8230;just put cool clothes in my bag I picked up the previous day from a Salvation Army store. I had so much crazy fun in here working on my demos! I got a job for a couple of months in a conference company. It was so funny, I went through the doors every morning with all the suit people staring wearing ripped jeans, messed up purple hair and black eyeliner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>You include in you influences strong women such as Gwen Stefani, Marina from Marina and the Diamonds, and Marie Fredriksson from Roxette. How important do you feel it is to be a strong woman in today&#8217;s music industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s necessary! If you\u2019re not strong people will let you down, tell you how things should be done and try to use you. So you must be in control all the time\u2026Think about Adele; She said her desire is to never to be slim, and they will measure every inch of you. She doesn\u2019t care!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What would you change about yourself, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I wish I was more patient\u2026but nope! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Explain your music to our readers who may not be familiar with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a mixture of different genres like they are pop records mixed with dubstep and club vibes. \u2018Alpha Female\u2019 is angry rock\/pop\/dubstep track and \u2018Merciless\u2019 is bit more urban. \u2018Wasting My Love\u2019 is a dance track &#8211; that\u2019s my new single!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who would your dream collaboration be with?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Skrillex \u2013 We would make some crazy noise! Also Madonna!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What advice do you have to anyone wanting to get into the recording industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Great music! There\u2019s so much manufactured music out there and people want real artists for role models. You have to be real and work hard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>What does the future hold for Scarlette?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019m really really excited about this single release in couple of weeks and I\u2019m looking forward to releasing my full album 2015 with tour dates!<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eNTVPhMD35w?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Scarlette can be found online on her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scarletteofficial.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/scarlette\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ScarletteWorld\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/ScarletteMusic\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/OfficialScarlette\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London based Finnish songstress Scarlette has never revealed too much about her true persona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7957,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[57],"tags":[108,368,505,65,27,68,506,78,304],"class_list":["post-7956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-artists","tag-dubstep","tag-edm","tag-finland","tag-london","tag-los-angeles","tag-new-music","tag-scarlette","tag-singer","tag-songwriter"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-24k","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":29440,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2017\/08\/pat-scarlett-you-make-it-alright\/","url_meta":{"origin":7956,"position":0},"title":"Pat Scarlett &#8211; &#8216;You Make It Alright&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"14\/08\/2017","format":false,"excerpt":"Singer-songwriter Pat Scarlett has been compared by AudioFuzz to \"a male Hope Sandoval\" with his soft and subtle retro sound, which is very reminiscent of the synth sound of the 70s and 80s.
