“Don’t listen to people who doubt you!”
Many of us have taken the time during these lockdowns to
relax and take things easy! However, this is not the case for
our Year 14 student Lauren Higgins, who recently released
her new hit song “Angel Eyes” which already has been
listened to over one thousand times on the app Spotify, not
to mention iTunes, Apple Music and YouTube! ‘Angel Eyes’
was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered in Dublin at
Beardfire Studio by producer David Virgin and his sons
Rohan Healy and Al Quiff.
Earlier this month, Lauren kindly took the time out of her
busy schedule to sit down and answer some of my
questions!
Year 14 Student Lauren Higgins on the release of
her new song “Angel Eyes”
How long have you been singing Lauren? “I’ve
always loved singing, but I only really took it
seriously a few years ago! I was 15/16 when I knew I wanted to pursue music as a career, so
I guess I have been singing since then.”
Do you have a singing teacher or are you self-taught? “I’ve never had singing lessons so I’m
self-taught. When I was younger, I used to listen to singers and try to figure out how they
were able to do what they do. I guess that's how I started teaching myself. From there I've
just kept developing my singing voice into what it is today.”
You play the guitar; do you play any other
instruments? “Yes, I do! Guitar is my main
instrument that I play but I also play bass
guitar, drums and a little bit of piano!”
Tell me about your new song, what influenced
it? “I wrote Angel Eyes on the topic of being
deceived, I guess. Everyone has met someone
in their lives that seem like an Angel with your best interests at heart but in truth it's pretty
much the opposite! It’s a song calling those kinds of people out because no one deserves
that kind of treatment!”
