Based on research carried out, I have decided I want to include an interview in my magazine related to some musician's inspirations and stories regarding their band forming/ their rise to fame. I find articles like this interesting because it is a background creation for a character which gives readers and fans a better knowledge of the musician's life. Because of this, the style of writing will be quite personal with quotes from the musician displayed in large lettering besides the interview, similar to Noel Gallagher's interview with 'Q' magazine.
I want to adopt a very casual and laid back style of writing that epitomises what indie music is all about, I also feel that a too formal style may cause readers to lose interest as they will view the article as an forced interview and not the insight into the artists life which I hope to achieve. In the Noel Gallagher interview above, the interviewer asks specific questions that will evoke interesting responses such as when he enquires about an Oasis reunion despite it being well known fact that Liam is on bad terms with former band partner and brother Noel, purely to bring out the funny response that Liam gives.
