That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here today and I want to be here for a lot longer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On life before pop:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;I&#8217;ve done four musicals and a few commercials but the main thing was the Sydney 2000 Olympics where I got to play the &#8216;hero girl&#8217; who flew in the air in front of so many people all around the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On school:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;I still go to school except when I&#8217;m away and I have a tutor. My school&#8217;s been really understanding but I still have to do a lot of school work. My friends are always messaging when I&#8217;m over here asking me if it&#8217;s cold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On her debut single:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;A strawberry kiss is a blow kiss. It&#8217;s a really friendly upbeat song. It reached No.2 on the charts and stayed there for eight weeks and I hope the same thing happens here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On her forthcoming album:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;The album&#8217;s called &#8216;Follow Your Heart&#8217; and it&#8217;s mainly about friendship. It&#8217;s appropriate for someone my age to sing. I&#8217;m not 20 or something.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On life outside music:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;I want to be an all round performer so I do acting and dancing. In Australia I&#8217;m in the Wizard of Oz.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On her long term goals:<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;My ultimate goal is to be well know all around the world. Make my fans smile when I sing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the latest news on <strong>Nikki<\/strong> check out her <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20020601201917\/http:\/\/www.click2music.co.uk\/nikki\" target=\"_blank\">official UK site<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Heath<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20020601201917\/http:\/\/www.dotmusic.com\/interviews\/May2002\/interviews25038.asp\" target=\"_blank\">dotmusic.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikki Webster is the latest musical export from Down Under.
