OHMYGOSSIP — Megan McKenna feels she is finally being “taken seriously” as an artist.
The former ‘TOWIE’, ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and ‘Ex On The Beach’ star is currently competing on ‘X Factor: Celebrity’ and she says being recognised for her music is a dream come true.
Speaking to Notion magazine, Megan said: “I’m being taken seriously and it’s taken a long time but it’s finally happening.
“For so long people judged me and when people meet me they always say ‘oh my god you’re actually nice!
“I’ve just thought for a long time now I just need to get my head down, pull away from reality and time will show people that this is something I’ve been working towards.”
Megan, 27, who performed her original song ‘When I’m Crying’ on last week’s episode of the show, says she loves telling a story through her music.
She explained: “The key to performing a song isn’t always about hitting the right notes, but about telling a story.
“Every time I go on stage, each song is about telling that story and they are emotional in their own way.
“So, I completely zone out and I think, the song may be current or from a few years ago, but I take myself back to that time and I just feel it gets me through the song.
“I don’t even think about what’s next I just let it come out.”
While Megan is enjoying her time on the show, she is constantly worried about getting eliminated.
She said: “I do want it so bad and the competition is getting stronger each week. ‘Will people actually vote?’
“That’s what you’re always thinking. There’s a constant feeling of worry in you. I’m just doing all that I can really.
“I’m just so happy that I’ve had the chance to do this show and just show everybody how serious I am about it and how much it means to me.”
