As Kimmy B strolls modestly through the door, I notice the nervous smile on her face. Even when her heavy dub step beats took over the charts, she still has that vulnerability of a teenage girl. Camden’s Katy B is just an ordinary girl who casually chugs back the beers and stuffs down pizza. Her edgy style and amicable aura lightened the dull mood of the pub as she was dressed surprisingly with dark clothes contrasted with the vibrant green scarf perfectly perched around her neck and beautiful green contact lenses with hid her pure and seductive brown eyes.
‘When I go out and perform, I want to feel comfortable so therefore I wear whatever the hell I want to’. Sorry to break your hearts ladies and gentleman but Kimmy is no Pixie Lott. ‘I’m not a washed up artist who gets someone to write my songs, I write them myself so I can connect with the audience and have a great time. I don’t do the whole tacky girly girl shit like usual, I have my own style and that’s all I need’. The vulnerability that was there before is now gone.
Despite her sudden rise in the dub step industry, Kimmy still finds this exposure positively weird, even when she goes into McDonalds dressed casually in Nike trackies and dunks. Sipping on our beers, she reminisces her school days when she was always sitting at the front of the classes. ‘I remember sitting in my English room, we were studying an extract from a literature story, the quote ‘We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.’ really caught my attention and is still with me today. To me, this describes me in a nutshell. A lot of my songs are inspired by my creative literature I picked up. To others literature is just a boring piece of crap, but to me it’s more than a group of acquaintance with letters, they’re simply the words we cannot express without our true emotions’. I begin to see what Kimmy is really like, under all of the heavy beats she creates, she is really a Jane Austen.
Coincidently, Kimmy’s new tune bounces off the speakers in the pub in an instant. We immediately snap back to reality and talk about her sky rocketing music career. 2011 is defiantly the year for her! Her well grounded attitude shines through yet again. ‘I really aim for 2011 to be the year for me and other artists like myself who have struggled. The hardest thing is having people tell you’re not good enough and the worst thing to do is to believe them’. I must admit, I admire her strong will to prove those who doubted her! I wouldn’t like to be the ones that will receive a subliminal F you from Miss B! Her amazing new floor filler track ‘Lashing Out’ already takes to charts at number 3! ‘I’m amazed it got to number 3! I never thought I would beat Rihanna! She is my idol!!!’
As we flutter on with the chatter, Kimmy lets me know that she is off to Aiya Napa in 2 weeks to promote her heavy beats across nightlife central! Even I can feel her excitement! She is definitely one of the lucky ones who get to travel due to their work! Where’s a job like that when you need one eh?! I stupidly ask her if she is scared to travel to Aiya Napa for this big promotion. ‘I’m not scared, I’m more anxious in how a European crowd would act! It’s feels a bit like the awkward moment when granny asks you do you like the ugly knitted jumper she gets you, and you hesitate! I’m in the anxious neighbourhood but I will definitely not run away!’ By that she means she is definitely getting slaughtered after her gig!
As the afternoon starts to take a hit into the evening, our chit chatter is starting to become more of a gossip than an interview! Then, I pop the big banger of a question for all the guys out there! Don’t worry lads! Miss B is very much single and is planning on staying like that for a while until her career jet sets off! Better luck next time!
