By:Joshua MillerKim Zolciak, singer and cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has taken our hearts by storm. Her new single "Tardy for the Party" debuted on the top ten of the itunes charts and is on constant play at every dance club in America. We got a chance to sit down with Kim and talk about her record, family, life and her newest venture; her very own Wig line.
How does it feel to have overcome your stage freight and perform on National Television? Especially in front of people that were against you. It was incredibly nerve racking to perform on stage and on National Television, never the less in front of my "wonderful fellow cast members" who were clearly critiquing my every move. I had worked with my choreographer Victor for 2 days prior to the taping for hours and hours, My body was so sore, I also had never sang my song live like that. I just Prayed for strength and the courage I needed to do it, It worked. I had a blast. Also knowing that Kandi was there (she is like my security blanket) was reassuring. Since that day I have performed several times at different venues and I am addicted. I absolutely love it.
How has the show changed your families life? My family life has changed drastically, some good..some bad...My daughters Brielle 12 and Ariana 8 have had their ups and downs with the long hours of filming, my traveling schedule, and the negative comments on the net, however they are my biggest fans and at the end of the day its the 3 of us. My parents aren't exactly huge fans of the "Show" although they are
incredibly supportive of me, I use to see my parents a lot more then I do now, my mom's famous line when I can't just run and have lunch with her is "Fame over Family, Kim" She cracks me up. My girls love the cameras and have a blast attending events with me, and all the perks that come along with being on such a successful show.
What/ Who inspired you to sing? I have always loved Madonna since I was little girl, but Kandi Burruss gave me the courage to push forward and chase my dreams.
You have said that you wanted to be a "one hit wonder" after experiencing it, is there a future for a Full Album? I always wanted to be a one hit wonder persay, however its addicting being in the studio, performing on stage, hearing a new track, I am definitely doing an album God willing.
What was it like to be part of the NO H8 Campaign? What was the symbolism of doing it topless? I am a huge supporter of the gay community. I have a gay uncle and aunt whom I adore, I was honored to pose and believe that gay, straight, purple or pink you should be able to marry whom you choose, Who is anyone to say that gays cant marry? I think it's obsurd. I posed topless because I wanted people to PAY ATTENTION and what better way to get them to do that.
Who did you connect with most on The Real Housewives of Atlanta? Kandi and I have become close friends, I bonded with her during the show and while recording my song but as time went on we just became closer. She is a great girl who I respect. She encouraged me to "just do it" get in the studio, record, and more importantly HAVE FUN. If it wasnt for her encouragement and support there wouldn't have been a "Tardy for the Party".
What is playing in your mp3 player/ipod right now? Justin Bieber, my daughters have every single song of his on my ipod, I also love Kenny Chesney, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and of course Kandi. I love Kandi's new song "Must be good" and "Fly Above"
What is your favorite hangout in NYC? I love to hang out at Louis Vuitton, they are incredible to me there and they always have my wine on hand. lol
Who do you think will be your biggest demographic for your new wigline? Busy women who don't have a lot of time on their hands and still want to look good, I want everyone whether it be due to illness or vanity sake to have a high quality affordable wig on hand at all times.
What is next for Kim Zolciak? What isnt next!!! I am of course working on my wig line "KZ loKZ", I am also writing a book, hopefully back in the studio soon recording, and I would love to team up with a winery and come up with my line of Chardonnay. I have tons of dreams and I will continue to chase every single one of them.
BONUS QUESTION
When drag queen, DETOX impersonated you on stage in Los Angeles what went through your mind?
I honestly didnt have a clue the first 2 minutes Detox was on stage that she/he was impersonating me!! Then it clicked. I loved it. I laughed and sang and was flattered actually that someone would take the time to do that.
