Following her performance at Glac\u00e9au\u00a0Vitaminwater’s #shinebrightstudio, we caught up with Foxes…<\/p>\n

\"Foxes<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point in her career, Foxes is pretty much a household name and so she needs no real introduction. With a grammy-award winning collaboration under her belt as well as three top-20 singles, she’s at the forefront of the music scene right now, and she’s even about to try her hand at acting in an episode of Doctor Who.<\/p>\n

The Southampton-born singer was also part of Glac\u00e9au\u00a0Vitaminwater’s #shinebrightstudio, a project at London’s Truman Brewery designed to exhibit, spark creativity and encourage people to be inspired. The series, which runs for seven weeks from July 31st, features hot names and newcomers including James Lavelle and The Bread Collective showing off their latest work and running workshops.<\/p>\n

Foxes was selected to launch the project, and as a new young creative she seems like a natural choice for the project. Aside from performing at the event, the singer also hosted mentoring sessions about the music industry and songwriting. During a rare-break from her busy schedule, and prior to the release of her upcoming single ‘Glorious’ (released 10th August), we managed to catch up with the singer for a brief chat…<\/p>\n

\"Foxes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So Foxes, tell us what’s your earliest memory of encountering music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My earliest memory of encountering music was being about four and banging pots and pans together in my kitchen, pretending I\u2019m in a band.<\/p>\n

What music was playing in your house growing up?
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

My mum and sister sort of sound-tracked my childhood with a lot of Patty Smith, a lot of Massive Attack, a lot of Bjork, Kate Bush.<\/p>\n

Some of the greats then! How old were you when you decided you wanted to be a singer?
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t remember ever not knowing I wanted to be a singer.<\/p>\n

Tell us, how did you first become involved with Zedd?
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, Zedd first heard me on a track, a track of mine called Youth. He was looking for a female vocalist to collaborate with so he got in touch with me and we ended up skyping. Then from there, we got on really well musically, I felt like we sort of had the same taste in music and \u00a0shared the same different musical ideas so then I flew to LA and we started working on clarity.<\/p>\n

You wore Vivienne Westwood on a night out right, which designers are most important for you?
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

Vivienne Westwood is an incredible designer. I\u2019ve always really admired her work and I think she\u2019s got a really amazing way of really complimenting the female figure. So I felt very lucky to be able to be dressed by her for the grammys. I really love Moschino and I also really, really love Chanel.<\/p>\n
