Charlie Hedges
Always wanting to get her voice on the radio, Charlie Hedges continues to add further rungs to her career ladder and is soon to release her debut track, featuring vocals from ex-JLS member JB.
We got the chance to chat to Charlie about her first self-produced track, what to expect from her music and any pressure she may feel to deliver.
How does it feel to be releasing a debut track?
Super exciting, I've been working towards releasing some tracks for the last year or so, so to finally have one coming out is crazy and to have JB is amazing! He's such a nice guy and super talented.
What was it like working with JB on the record?
Charlie Hedges with JBHe's very professional and it's wicked hearing his solo vocals. JB is a friend of mine and to have him lay vocals on the track was fun.
Should we expect a music video?
This I cannot confirm at this stage!
Did you feel pressure for the track to be great because it's not only your debut but it's JB's first music project since JLS' split?
Not at all, if something is meant to be then it's meant to be. Timing is always essential, especially in this industry, so that’s the only thing I think there was pressure for; when was the right time to bring the track out, and I think and hope it's the right time.
Myself and JB are proud of the track and we hope everyone gets on board and supports it whether you've come from a JLS background or from listening to my electro house mixes. It’s exciting to bring out something that covers both sides.
Have you always wanted to produce music?
Yes always. First it was about getting my voice heard on radio which I'm so grateful for, then the DJing and now DJing and making music, I am literally living my dream each day.
What is it about music that you love?
I love the fact that it doesn't matter where you are in the world, music brings people together, it speaks all languages and it changes people's moods instantly.
What should we expect from 'Best Night OML'?
A bit of commercial mixed with some electro house, it's out now to pre-order and officially out as of Sunday March 2nd; search for Best Night OML on iTunes and across all other music sites and you'll find it.
Who will love this track?
I hope most people will and that it crosses over commercially but also amongst the club scene as we've got some great remixes made too; if you like music and have a best night in your life that you can relate to then this track is for you.
What's next following this release?
Another track with a very exciting potential vocalist... that is all I can say. But keep checking www.charliehedges.com for all my DJ gig dates and any news upcoming, it'll get there first!
