Fresh out of Australia, Sheppard are a band who are looking to make waves in Europe with their fresh and upbeat pop sounds.
Siblings Amy, George and Emma join with Jay Boviono, Michael Butler and Dean Gordon to create exciting and edgy pop music, and we got the chance to put 10 light-hearted questions to Emma Sheppard of the band, to find out a little bit more about the group and what they're all about...
1) How would you describe the other members of the band?
Everyone in the band has very different personalities but we all get on really well. Michael is a super nice guy and will do anything for anyone, he will laugh at whatever joke you pull, even if it isn't remotely funny! Jay is really quiet but a really talented person, he makes all of our tour videos, lyrics videos and is even a whiz at Photoshop. Dean is a real class clown and will fart anywhere at anytime for a good laugh. Amy is really chilled and just goes with the flow, she also has the worst sense of direction so we don't let her drive the tour van and George is Mr. Charisma and he can impersonate anyone and any accent!
2) Who spends the longest time looking in the mirror?
Amy, she likes to takes her time doing her makeup and hair, even at 5am in the morning!
3) Which of you always gets their own way?
I would probably have to say me, i don't know why, maybe because I'm the baby of the family but it works a treat.
4) Complete the sentence: 'My favourite place on Earth is _______'
Kokopo, Papua New Guinea.
5) What's the strangest thing you've ever done?
Swam with wild dolphins around the Duke of York Islands. Probably the strangest, coolest and most dangerous thing i have ever done.
6) Tell us about any strange fan comments or gifts you may have received.
I did have a girl on Twitter call me her wife.. not too sure about that one. Apart from the odd tweet and Instagram, no one has been too creepy... yet! We do receive some really cute fan mail and gifts though.
7) Put the following in order of importance from most to least - music, love, money and fame.
Music, Love, Money and Fame...
8) What's your guilty pleasure?
I LOVE liquorice coated in chocolate.. well anything coated in chocolate really.
9) Complete the sentence: 'If I could visit anywhere it would be _____'.
I would love to visit Japan. It looks like it would be so much fun, and everything looks colourful and animated. I also would love to visit that cat cafe and have a nice cuppa with a few little kittens.
10) What's your favourite thing about being a musician?
Apart from getting up on stage and performing, i would have to say all of the amazing people from the music industry we meet from all over the world!
Sheppard release their debut European single 'Geronimo' on July 14.
