Perrie Edwards believes the music industry has changed markedly over recent years.
Perrie Edwards thinks the music industry has changed markedly since the start of her career.
The 31-year-old singer shot to stardom as part of Little Mix in 2011 – but Perrie admits that the landscape of the industry has completed changed over the years.
Perrie told MailOnline: “It’s just different. I just feel like the industry is very different at the moment. The way we work is very different and the way we promote it is very different.
“And that’s not saying that it’s not good or not bad, it’s just not used to being in the band. But like I said, I just love singing, I love making music and creating and all that process is the best part ever.”
What’s more, Perrie still loves performing live in front of her fans.
The chart-topping singer – who launched her debut solo single, ‘Forget About Us’, earlier this year – explained: “Definitely being able to just sing and perform like, nothing makes me happier than being on stage.
“But then also, it’s harder to start from scratch and I’m not going to get to that place any time soon so it’s hard work to get me there, you know. I just want to be on the big stage.”
Perrie has already enjoyed huge success in her career, but she’s stressed the importance of remaining “grounded”.
Asked what advice she’d give to aspiring music stars, Perrie said: “I would say if you’re going into this industry, try and keep very grounded.
“Keep people around you who you trust more than anything and keep that inner circle tight.
“I would dream big and always aspire to be the best possible you and then if that doesn’t work out, at least you know you did everything. I think all of that stuff and work hard.”
The music industry is very different, says Perrie Edwards
