The Beat caught up with local singing sensation Ashlinn Gray to talk about Taylor Swift, One Direction, her favourite song to sing in the shower and her musical guilty pleasure
I was first
introduced to music....in 2007 when my sister wanted to start singing. She
had the natural ability but I was pretty close to tone deaf. I was and still am
very competitive, so I wanted to beat her at her own game and started
practicing every day for competitions we participated in.
I grew up listening
to....mostly pop music from Hillary Duff and the Kelly Clarkson. But I really
found my favourite genre only 3 years ago when my best friend introduced me to
indie music. It honestly made music so much more exciting! It really resonates
with me.
My first CD I bought
was...Atomic Kitten! I remember getting it for my birthday and playing it
every night as I was falling asleep! I still remember the lyrics to most of
their songs off that album!
The CD I will hide
away from friends when they come over to visit is....Josh Groben. I really
love his voice and it makes me feel all inspirational and passionate.
The one thing people
don't know about me is....I love unpacking the dishwasher. I thinks it's
because I have a bit of OCD, so when things are in place and clean I get really
excited. (might regret saying this one day)
Being compared to
Taylor Swift is....a huge compliment! I love her! She really is the
celebrity I look up to the most. I like how she stands up for herself and
speaks her mind.
If I had One
Direction tickets I would...never admit how excited was...I'm not a fan
girl but those boys are beautiful and really know how to put on a good show.
My favourite song to
sing in the shower/bath is...Take Me to Church! You can totally belt it at
the top of your lungs and feel so free!
I was so embarrassed
when...I walked out of the bathrooms at a shopping mall and my skirt was
tucked into my underwear! I don't even know how it in got there! I'm one of
those clumsy people who always end up embarrassing themselves.
Same sex marriages
should not be judged. I think everyone has the right to make their own
decisions as it is their life.
