Hayley Westenra chats to I Like Music
ILM: Your debut international album PURE went straight in at No.8 in the UK pop album charts and No.1 in the Classical Charts, making you the fastest-selling debut classical artist of all time. Wow. How does that feel? And how did you feel when you got that news?
HAYLEY: I didn't know what people's expectations were, so when I was told I was number eight, I was like, 'wow…is that good? Are people pleased with that?' Looking back now I know what a huge achievement it is. Especially because I was a new artist and I wasn't doing mainstream pop music and I wasn't getting heavy radio play like a lot of the pop artists get, and I wasn't doing TV or on the music video stations, so, looking back now I'm really thrilled with it. But, at the time I was 16 and new to the whole music business and new to the UK and I was quite overwhelmed by it all.
