A Stroke of Luckwww.PureTunez.co.uk

Pure Tunez was lucky enough this week to get an interview in with the new grime artist Lusions. He said that he got started with the music scene when he had recorded a track just for fun but someone heard this song and offered him a chance to record a real and serious song. He agreed and it was a large success and will be releasing his new CD A stroke of luck this April. The CD will feature all the songs he has made over the last few months. He said that his first single was a bit of a risky song to do. It was the ‘MY LIFE’ song, his record manager was conviced that this would be a number one and he was correct. The song was at number one for a massive 6 weeks in total. The song is about his life leading up to the fame and then about his new life when he is famous. He made just over 1 million on the first song. We asked him how he felt about all the at-tention and wether he will be able to cope with the attentio. He replied by saying he was overwelmed at first but now he is enjoying his new lifestyle. He has just brought a brand new £60,000 ferrari and a mansion that comes to the value of just over 2 million pounds. All this at the age of 21. He has brought all this and shows no sign of slowing down with spending the cash. He already has plans for buying a island in a few years to come.

THE BRAND NEW CD BY LUSIONS

‘MY FIRST SONG WAS A RISKY CHOICE BUT I PULLED IT OFF’

We asked him wether he had any other plans for the rest of his money. He went on to tell us that he is hoping to open his own record-ing studios. He the explained that this would be a different recording studio where anyone can go and record a track for free. The other advantage of the studio will be that there will be recording companies and labels that will frequantly visit the studios looking for new talent. We asked why he was going to do this. He said that he wants to give others the chance that he has been given. We asked him wether he has any events planned for the near future. He told us that when the CD is released he will be visiting shops where the CD will be sold so he can sign CD’s. Finnaly we asked wether he had any more CD’s planned for the year. He said definatly he is already writting his new song which will be released fairly soon on the internet. He is pleased to say aswell that he is going to be recording a music video very soon. He told us he couldnt wait to do this becasue the video will be shown on all the major music video channels.One other thing in the April edition of this magazine we will be giving away 1 free copy of the CD, in the competitions section.
