Ciara is doing her thing. This 18 year old
singer/songwriter, dance phenomenon has literally caught the
music industry off guard. No one expected this young singer to
blow up in the major way that she has. Her debut single
"Goodies," held down the number one spot for more than 6 weeks
earlier this year. "Goodies" was such a catchy song, some people
were speculating that Ciara might be a one hit wonder (remember
that song from last year Uh-Oh…right), but no no. Miss Ciara
bounced right back with "1-2 Step " featuring Missy Elliot. "1-2
Step" raced up the Billboard chart before the video hit the
airwaves good.
How long before you were signed did your record actually come
out?
Ciara-Almost a year and a half.
Was "1-2 Step" always going to be the second single?
Ciara-Yes. That is what I wanted to be the
second single. Some people at the label felt stronger about
another record, but I always knew "1-2 Step" was the second
single. We had to go in and fix it and then it was like, this is
the record, hands down.
Do you have a favorite song on the album?
Ciara-No, I love them all of them all.
I like "Ooh Baby."
Ciara-That's nice. Thank you.
My three year old loves "Pick Up The Phone."
Ciara-Really, thank you. That's cute.
What are your favorite cities to visit?
Ciara-Ooooh…L.A. Miami.
That's hot.
Ciara-Yeah. Uh huh. I would definitely
have to say the U.K.
Do you like to shop? If so what are your favorite things to shop
for?
Ciara-Yes, I so like shopping. I am
impatient though. I will go to the mall and in 30 minutes be
ready to go. The good stuff will have to be right in my face. It
is so soothing to see those racks of clothes. Sometimes the good
stuff is far back in the racks. I also like shopping for shoes.
I love shoes.
In the current S2S Magazine, you mention that if you were an
artist you would be in college. Down the road do you see
yourself still going to college?
Ciara-Oh yes, I'm definitely going to
college.
Have you starting thinking about or writing for your next album?
Ciara-Yes, I have studio time in January,
February and March.
How did you get into songwriting?
Ciara-It was just something that came from
the heart and mind. I think I came up with some good melodies
and a few months later…..
Have you ever considered modeling or acting?
Ciara-Yes both. Actually, I was doing the
modeling before I got into music.
Do you have any tour plans coming up?
Ciara-Definitely. Big plans. Working on
them now.
Do you ever get star struck when you meet other celebrities?
Ciara-Ummmm star struck, I don't want to
say that. I can't say it doesn't catch me off guard. It's just
reality. It's like oh my goodness. This is crazy. When I met
Patti Labelle, oh my goodness she is somebody I really respected
it was like whoa and really showed me how blessed I am.
How are you doing with being a celebrity and getting recognized
and everything?
Ciara-Ummm …you know I'm pretty much the
same person. I take it for what it is. I love the fans. I
appreciate it.
