Confessions of an Indie Cindy

One of the new unique sensations has burst onto into the charts this week, Jessica Lynch. Described as an 'Indie Cindy' she has taken the indie charts by storm. Her unique style, lyrics and personality makes her one of the best solo artists around. Censored wants to find out her reasoning behind why she decided to become a singer alone and get a bit of an insight into the life of Jessica.


When did you first realise that you wanted to persue music as a career?

Well i've always loved music since i was little but it's not always been Indie/Rock. I used to go witrh the trends, dressing as what they call 'fresh' and into all the pop music. My sister was the one that really changed that because she was the one that listened to indie and rock. It made me realise that the lyrics were a lot more meaningful and were so much more my style.[laughs]


What made you become a solo artist because you see a lot of groups around now?

I've always been very independant, doing things on my own and i have been told i am quite bossy when i don't get what i want, So i dont think a group would be the best idea.


Being a new artist is it quite scary being on your own?

No not particularly. I tend to just take things as the come. I mean dont get me wrong sometimes it is very overwhelmingbut i get a thrill off it and it gets me all excited. I never really feel alone anyway because i mean i have my family and friends and most importantly my fans which is great.[smiles]


What are the meanings behind your lyrics ? Are they personal experiences or do they just come into your head?

Some are personal meanings yes, I fond it easier writing about things like that because i feel like the song is a lot more meaningful and personal for example my track breathe. Now that is a personal song to me. But yeh some of my songs to come off the top of my head which seem to be more my fun songs which are really good to perform.


How do you think other people perceive you?

To be honest i dont really care. People can see me how they like and interpret me how they want. I'm a very strange quirky individual that has my own style so people can perceive me hoe they like. Since i've been younger i've never been one to follow the trends really. I hate superficial, materialistic people so pound to a penny they dont like me either. [laughs] The press are the worse for this they irritate me so much. They judge you because you are different and that's not fair, i act just as i would if i wasn't famous i don't really understand why i should change. I remember when i would read the headlines and critise celebs but now i'm the complete opposite.


Has any other celeb ever said anything about you or you about them?

Erm yeh they have actually let me think, N-dubz ring a bell? Well yeh i met them once and they all just looked down their noses at me like i was nothing i couldnt believe it. I mean none of them could talk have you seen them in all fairness you can tell they are putting on an act.


You mentioned how you like to be unique and different- Have you always been like this?

Yeh i've mentioned that a lot! [laughs] I tell you there is absolutly no point following everyone else cause why would you want someone else to look like you? I love things from top shop but i like to mix it all up adding bits onto my clothes and cutting them up it's great! [laughs]


So the new Album Breathe, very exciting how did you come about it?

Yes very exciting indeed i can't wait for it to be released. It's kind f scary everythings happened so fast [laughs] Well i used to do like little gigs and stuff at my local bar and i suppose one day i just got luck because well here i am now. [laughs]


Well thank you Jess for giving us an insight into your life it really has been a pleasure. I can see your new album going very far and i hope everything works out for you i really do.

Thank you its been a pleasure letting you know a bit about me. I will keep you updated. [smiles]
