I recently had the chance to meet 1 of my favorite hi-nrg divas the fab Kelly Wilde and have a little chat with her and get all the latest biz from her.
1 You were fab at Manchester Pride in August and the crowd went nuts for you , one of the tracks a cover of Blondie’s maria is you’re next single , when is it out & on which labelENERGISE RECORDS are very excited about this track – and they do a lot with Eurosolution who get the tracks out there !! The release date has not been set yet, but it is imminent.
2 The best reaction on the main stage on Monday 27th was for Hazell Dean , Nicki French and yourself , how do you maintain such a loyal followingI love what I do and I love the Scene. I think that most people like to have fun and they like to Party! I know it sounds funny but I actually like it when people come up to me and say Hi. When they will see me in the supermarket or the shops . It is because they feel they can talk to me – That is a nice feeling.
3 You are one of the best loved dance divas out there , who has recorded for major hi-nrg labels such as Klone , Loading Bay , Energize etc , almighty is the biggest British hi-nrg label , have you recorded any tracks for them or any plans to do soI have known Martin from Almighty for a long time. His record label has been very successful. However, the label doesn’t appear to be doing any more new recordings – so I am not sure if I will get to record with them now – but you never know !!
4 In the music industry, a lot of dance divas record tracks which are either never released or brought out under different names , is there any Kelly Wilde tracks in the vaults , or tracks that your fans may not know that you sang onOh yes, absolutely dozens. I used to record for the Pickwick Albums. I had a record which almost came out called “One Man isn’t enough” After a huge mail out, It didn’t get released because of the situation with not having too many partners, at the time, and this song was raging !!! Wow- also tracks such as “something old Something new” , apparently charted in Argentina. “So much Love” I also recorded for Red Bus Records / With Paul Trouble
7 You also run a management company Dance Crazy Management , who has on it’s books: Angie Brown
Hannah Jones
Hazell Dean
Jimmy Somerville
Jaki Graham
Mary Kiani
Sinitta
Viola Wills among many others. How on earth do you find the time, with you’re touring and recording commitmentsThank goodness for telephone, texting and emails. It has helped to cut my day down from a 20 hour day to about 12 hours – so it is all good.
8 Anything you can tell us about you’re new single ‘Maria’? ?Yes, I have recorded “MARIA” with Klub Kidz and I think it is a Fabulous track. I actually only had two days to learn it and only heard it about 3 times before recording it .
9 What do you do to unwind after a busy day? I love to do Yoga and watch movies to chill out. Better still when the weather is nice – have lots of friends over to have a Barb-B-Que10 And finally Kelly, can you share a secret or little known fact with us?
Aha, that would be telling. Ask no questions, I will tell you no lies.
( smile) Oh ok., did you know that I have adopted – yes I have a beautiful daughter by the name of “Betty” She is my baby WOMBAT. I sponsor Australian Wild life, the RSPCA and IFAW to help all animals worldwide. ( Have attached a photo for you of my girl ) plus my new edition of SYMBIO the koala.
