Planning: Artist Profile

My artist is a 24 year old female R&B singer-songwriter. Her main musical influence is Alicia Keys. She used to write songs for small artists. She was discovered by RCA Records, where she was given the opportunity to work with artists, such as Labrinth and Leona Lewis, for whom she wrote the songs 'Let The Sun Shine' and 'Happy'. But now she has finally got her big break and is writing songs for herself.

She has just released her first album, and this will be her first interview with the magazine. The main purpose of the article will be to encourage the audience, but also inform and entertain them. This will be encouraging the audience in terms of encouraging any singer-songwriters who have not yet reached their full potential, and giving them the confidence and motivation to keep moving forward in terms of their career. The article will also have the purpose of promoting the artist's first album. The article should try to make the audience aspire to be like the featured artist, but also some members of the audience may be able to relate to her. 

Regarding the layout of the magazine, I am planning to have an image which covers the whole double page spread, and text which will be in colour blocks and that cover the majority of one page.
