Draft text for my main article
Headline – Maria Alex
Standfirst – After the hype over Maria Alex’s brand new album, we get to discuss the highlights of her year and the answers everyone has been waiting for.
Article –She was first spotted by one of the biggest names in pop music, Gary Barlow, now she’s signed to his record label and making a name for herself. Here’s the insight every one has been waiting for. She’s only 17 but already a big name in the music business.

Question; so this year has been an amazing year for you, what has been your highlight?
Answer:  To be honest, everything. I haven’t had a day where I could say that’s the best moment so far. Every one always asks what your best moment been since becoming a well known singer and I dont really have an answer because everyone has made everyday special.

Question: Where and when did you first decide you wanted to be big?
Since I was 3 I always had the dream that I was gunna be a singer and my grandma always said to me that I would make it because I would sing to her and my granddad all the time. I secretly think that I got on their nerves because I never shut up.

Question: When did you first start singing in bars and clubs?
I used to sing karaoke on a Friday night in the local pub and then someone I knew asked if I would sing at their bar in Brighton and I was unsure at first but I agreed and then after that I used to sing all the time in different pubs and clubs in Brighton and the surrounding areas. It was one time when I was in a famous club called Shu, in London that Gary Barlow was in the V.I.P area and asked me to sing privately for them.

Question: When you started to write this album did it have any influence on you at all?
Yes it did. Only because when I started writing the lyrics it brought back memories from a short time ago and it made me realise how much I and my life had changed.
