Singer Victoria Hart shot to fame over night when she was invited to Cannes to sing for none other that George Clooney and Brad Pitt.Off the back of her performance, which took her away from her life as a singing waitress, she released her debut album Whatever Happened to Romance as well as being a hit at Glastonbury, despite the poor weather.Now the nineteen year old singing sensation is back with the release of her mini album Mood Swings, a collection of favourite covers. I caught up with her to discuss her whirlwind career, the new record and the future.

Did you always want to sing? And how did you get started?

I've always wanted to sing, for as long as I can remember. I was in classical singing training when I was tiny like eight or nine I got entered into all these competitions and I lost , I came last in every single one. I kind of stopped then but all I wanted to do was sing.Then I was singing throughout school, in all of the plays and concerts, and a piano teacher asked me to come and sing at this jazz concert when I was sixteen and there was a producer there and he was like 'you have really got something I want you to come into my studio'.He thought I was twenty or twenty two and I was this fifteen year old girl but that is where is started and we started recording and getting everything together.
