Kara Marni interview:
"You grew up on old school greats such as MinnieRiperton, Diana Ross, and Lauryn Hill. How would youdescribe your music and how does their sound influencethe music you create?
I’d describe it as soulful R&B with sprinklings of pop. Idefinitely think the soulfulness comes from listening tothose incredible, big, female voices and the touch of popis the fusing of those older influences with the now. I liketo think it’s my modern stamp on it.
How hard was the decision to drop out of BRIT school to pursue your career professionally, not having a ‘backup plan’?
"It came quite organically. I met my management and waswriting lots out of school. It seemed a natural step to takeas I wanted to be doing it full time.
I’ve never really had a ‘back up plan’ because this is theonly plan I intend on having. Although I know I don’t havecontrol over my future, as long as I’m doing music I’ll beokay.
