Gigwise caught up with rising star VV Brown this week for the first edition of our new Twinterview series. Carried out entirely over Twitter, Gigwise followers sent their questions to the 28-year-old singer who then replied within the micro-blog's 140 character limit.
Here she clears up all the confusion over how to punctuate her name, what it's like to have longer legs than Julia Roberts and just why she doesn't like pies.
@Zeonmusic: How do you correctly punctuate your name? Is it VV Brown? V V Brown? V.V. Brown? V-V Brown? V*V Brown? So confused.
"VV Brown."
@rititatb: Do you have any major influences?
"Life and everything I feel inspired by."
Would you say that your music has a retro feeling to it?
"Yes defo, but with contemporary elements."
@G_a_z: Hi VV, Really into your music....What is your personal favourite song you have ever written thus far? See you in York :)
"A song called 'Girly Girly'. And yes, see you there!"
@rititatb: How do you feel now, finally making your own record?
"Liberated, nervous, excited."

Which is your favourite song? Ideas on next single?
"A song called 'Girly Girly'."
@McNurse: What's your favourite type of pie?
"Cherry Pie."
@adamrh:You describe your sound as 'musical mashed potatoes'. I love sausage and mash. What is your favourite sausage?

@EleanorConway: Are your legs longer than Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman where she's in the bath tub with creepy Richard Gere?

@G_a_z: On a scale of 1 to 10 how nervous are you before a gig?

"Great! Fun and a great opportunity!"
@rititatb: When can we expect you in Portugal?
"Hopefully end of year. x."
@mistertweak: VV Brown, since you seem to like Paris, are you going make some live shows here any time soon?
"Absolutely, I shall be moving to Paris at the end of the year as well, I love Paris!"
