FU interviewed Kirsty who told us about modelling, her girl band Addiction and what Simon Cowell is really like…

What do you do?
I’m a hairdresser/model/singer, very busy as you see, but I love it that way.

What made you decide to start modelling?
I wanted to do it from a young age. I enjoy doing shoots and seeing the end results…

What type of modelling would you like to do?
Fashion and glamour work. I want to be published in a variety of magazines and be an icon for young girls, and prove to them that if you have determination like me, then you can make it.

Who is your favourite model, why?
I love Jackie Deggs work. Jodie Marsh is also an inspiration for me, as she made it on her own after being bullied through her childhood.

Tell us about your band Addiction
Well we’ve been together for 2 years and I’m loving every minute of it. I’d love to do more though and eventually give up hairdressing and commit to the band full time.

What type of music do you do, how would you describe your sound?
We’re an urban R&B type pop girl band. We like to do a wide range of music.

Who are your musical influences?
Mine personally is Mariah Carey. Her voice is just amazing and sends shivers through my whole body.

We heard you guys were on Xfactor, did you get to meet Simon, is he really that evil?

Yes we did meet him, they put us through to boot camp. He really is that evil, but he wasn’t evil to us. He loves the ladies lol

On top of all this you’re also a hairdresser, what do you love about hairdressing?
I love making people look and feel good about themselves, it gives me a great buzz.

Everyone’s cutting their hair really short at the moment but what look do you predict will be big for the summer?

Long fringes and very short haircuts are this summers must haves… or long hair with flicks/big waves.

What makes you so unique?
Well do you know anyone else who does modelling, hairdressing is in a girl band and is fun and friendly like me :-)

Back to the singing and modelling, who would you like to work with in the future?
I’d love to work with some of the FHM photographers and be in the magazine (front cover of course) I’d also like to work with some fantastic producers and be signed by Simon Cowell hehe
