\"Jodie<\/a> <\/p>\n

by Raj Rudolph and Peter Wilson<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Together with her trusty pair of nerdy-chic glasses, Jodie Connor <\/strong>has busted onto the pop scene with her debut new single with Wiley<\/strong> called "Now Or Never"<\/strong> which you really can't escape at the moment if you live in the UK – it's everywhere!  Having already won our hearts over from her collaboration on Roll Deep's <\/strong>huge number one smash "Good Times"<\/strong> it seems that there is some serious bank to be made from working with Jodie Conner <\/strong>as "Good Times" <\/strong>spent a whopping three weeks topping the UK chart – serious!<\/p>\n

So what's it like to be in Jodie Connor's<\/strong> shoes right now?  Well EQ caught up with her recently to talk about life as a new popstar and what we can expect from her this year!<\/p>\n

You wrote both 'Good Times', and your new single 'Now or Never' yourself! Have you wrote any songs for any other artists? <\/strong><\/span>
I haven't no. I\u2019ve been 100% focused on my own album but I would love to write for other people in the future.<\/p>\n

What inspires you to write? <\/strong><\/span>
Music!  When I hear a good song it makes me want to write one too. The way I\u2019m feeling also inspires my songs. I\u2019m in a really good place at the moment and I want that to be reflected in the songs I write. That\u2019s why a lot of the tracks are upbeat dance-pop numbers.<\/p>\n

How did you and your producer Dawood meet? <\/strong><\/span>
We met through a mutual friend years ago, it must have been fate \u2013 he\u2019s an amazing producer.  I loved the hooks he was laying down and he liked what I was doing, the rest you could say was history!<\/p>\n
