It was early this month that i have the privilege to meet the top female singer of Thailand, one name that is well known even out of the country Thailand itself.

Knowing the amount of achievements she achieved along the years with that record of being someone that big, i couldn’t say that i’m not nervous at all.

Its just a short 10 minutes interview on the 10th of September 2009 where i was arranged in a slot with this Yea! Magazine reporter Janice. So yea, please do read the whole text and comment on my questions as its my first time doing so, so i need some thoughts and insights from you all. Critics. =)

Here it goes.

Me : Congratulations on the release of your 3rd English album. So with this 3rd English album, is there any favourite song for you personally or any song in this album that you could relate to yourself?
Tata Young : Every song, every song has a personal influence on me, but its about different timing and my rule is i would only sing songs that i believe in so every songs that i sing is basically songs that i believe in and i have experienced with. My all time favourite song at the moment, if i get to perform, get to sing it today, is Mission Is You.

Me : In the process of making this album, i believe that there’s some interesting stuffs and happenings, could you share some of it?
Tata Young : Well I get to live in Berlin during the recording of this album, so i kind of change countries that i lived in, living in Berlin a little while recording this album, and then when we did with the production side of it i got to work with a Korean team, so its very international, i get to move around a lot and get to work with many teams so that’s a wonderful experience.

Me: There’s a strong value in this album which is love, can you elaborate more on what you would like to convey through this album?
Tata Young : Fun! I want everybody to listen to the album and feel like its all so fun, apart from just feeling love, feeling that there’s fun!

Me : Are you looking forward to more English albums in the future?
Tata Young : Definitely for sure! i’ve just started this one though so i’m still trying to make this one work out. I’m going to keep singing.

Me : Do you intend to go into acting again,and what kind of role would you consider
Tata Young : I would love to pursue my acting career again, its just so i probably need to clone myself before i can act because at the moment i am just promoting this album and i would feel so bad for my co stars because i would have only like one day in a week to shoot the movie and the director would probably be killing me. I would like to be in a Hollywood movie, with Will smith maybe one day, i would like to pursue my acting career again one day and maybe play a role, a psychotic women perhaps?

Me : You have mentioned in 1 of your interviews that you are always excited in the future, so what are the dreams that you would like to achieve in the future?
Tata Young : I would love to be the first Asian to breakthrough internationally if i can but if its not me at least i’m one of the first people to kind of make it happen.

Me : Between acting and singing, which do you enjoy more doing?
Tata Young : Singing, singing it is for sure!

Me : Who is your role model, is there any person that you look up to & why?
Tata Young : I love Madonna, i think she’s done very well in her career and she’s pretty much my role model, i see myself being like her, maybe not as famous as her but being like her as in like as you know, she’s married, she’s got children, she’s singing, she looks good, she keeps it up so probably Madonna is the person i would say!

Me : If you were to collaborate with an artist in the future, who will it be? If its Asia then who will it be?
Tata Young : Justin Timberlake, he’s not bad. Jay Chou or Rain!

Me : You’ll be performing live in Perth in One Moment Showcase Music Festival in October, what could your fans in Perth expect from you?
Tata Young : A good show, a bad ass show like last night, maybe not the grand entrance but yes a good show

Me : What is first reaction when you know that you’re going to make a grand entrance on an airport runway for this 3rd English album?
Tata Young : My first impression was what i’m going to do next, that is very big, i’m screwed because i don’t know what i’m going to do next, but yea it sure was great and i had alot of fun and i think a lot of people did too.

The interview then ended with 2 questions from Janice.

Janice : What is your future plan?
Tata Young : My future plan at the moment is promoting this album and hopefully i’m going to tour in October, in Asia and then in Japan in November, then next year to Europe and coming back to Thailand having a big concert in March next year

Janice : Anything that you would like to say to the Malaysian fans?
Tata Young : First of all i would like to thank all my Malaysian fans for all the support, for always believing in me for who i am, so ya, please support the album Ready For Love.

So yea, what do you think? Hmm…

That was like one of the fastest 10 minutes for me i must say!

Shake hands, intro, interview, end.

And as i’ve mentioned before in the blog post of Tata Young’s Take You To The World Press Conference, i had a whole list of more qualified blogger compared to a small fry like me that should be attending this very event itself as well as interviewing Tata Young.

I’m really thankful for the things that comes my way. Thanks to the one above who’s watching over me every single moment. Of course, thanks to Sony Music Malaysia & Kel Li as well!

Pitt, Sonida and Me.

Last but not least, thanks to the people from Sony Music Thailand for a really warming and friendly stay in Thailand.
