Laura Sage, is the up and coming female music artist of this decade. We sneaked her into our studio for a quick five minute interview in her busy schedule and to talk about her latest album ‘The Red Knee Monster’.

Laura, it’s a pleasure to have you here…

Thanks, everything is a bit manic at the minute with tours, new albums and interviews – It’s hard to get used to!

You released your first album under a record label last week, how do you feel about that?

Over the moon! I can’t believe how quick it has all happened; I didn’t know how people would react when it was released, but selling 90,000 copies in my first week I’m guessing they liked it!

You have tracks on the album featuring Florence & The Machine, Magnetic Man and MIA, how did you manage to round up such successful artists?

I told my agent who I wanted to work with and on the same night he rang back telling me he’d arranged for me to work with them. My agent knew that no was not an option.

Where can we expect to find you performing this year?

Reading, V Festival and The Isle Of Wight Festival. I will also be doing a tour, but that doesn’t start until the 4^th of September.

Have you made many celebrity friends?

The people who I have worked with I have become quite close with but I also met Noel Fielding and he is absolutely hilarious.

Who’s your favourite music artist?

Katy B. Without a doubt. She dominates the stage and is so unique. I love her.

Okay and finally, if you could play one game for the whole day what would it be?

Mariokart on the Wii. I may not be the best selling musical artist in the world, but I am the fastest on Mariokart.

(Laughs) Thanks Laura, it’s been a pleasure meeting you, and I wish you the best of luck for your tour.

Yea, thanks for having me.
