Your name:
Caroline McLavy.
Where are you from?
Leicester, UK.
How would you describe yourselves?
Electro/synth
pop artist.
Who are your main influences musically?
I grew up on Pet Shop Boys. They’re great teachers in how
to write a good pop song. I also admire their ability to write in so many
styles and still remain consistently themselves.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
Fundamentally I think it’s about the ability to reach
people. To communicate something in a song that someone else can identify with
in their own way.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
As odd as it sounds, personally speaking it was the album
production. As we (co-produced with Rich Henderson - AR One Studios) were
approaching completion it dawned on me, as a small child my greatest ambition
was to be a record producer, I had almost forgotten that feeling. To get to say
‘yes I did that’ was a great moment. It’s not about major labels and highly
spec’d out studios, it’s the will to make things happen that counts and the
ability to enjoy it for what it is.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Ooo filming the outdoor scene for my video for ‘Constant
Pain’ at 10:30am on a Sunday morning. The film location was the old Norman
Castle in Castle Gardens, Leicester. I wore my thigh-high electric blue boots.
On the way back to the car after filming I had to pass the Church where the
congregation were gathered outside. It felt like the walk of shame.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
This is a difficult question, I wrote the album to
represent a whole, with each song being a part. I want to say ‘Where Did
I Go Wrong?’ but really I think it would be ‘I’ll Take My Chances’ mainly
because as the title suggests it’s about taking a chance on something because
it’s in your heart despite the doubts in your head. Not so much the content of
the song more the general vibe.
