Susan Boyle feels safe in the studio

Susan Boyle loves being in the recording studio — because it gives her a “sanctuary” from the outside would. The Scottish singer feels safe and stress-free when she is setting down new tracks as it gives her some peace away from the pressures of fame.

“The studio is my sanctuary. To return to it, well it feels like home away from home. The studio is like being inside a bubble and a place I can step away from the worry of life. As soon as I put the cans (headphones) on I know that I am safe,” she said.

“It’s a bit breathtaking, you know.

“For me, it’s not about album sales or chart positions. It is that the people buying my music are enjoying it. They are the ones who will hopefully keep me in this business for years to come. I don’t want it to end and I want them to keep enjoying my music.”

Susan — who’s believed to have earned around $8m from her debut album — recently insisted she’s careful with her money.

“I’ve only just learned how to go in a taxi, I don’t flash the cash,” she said.

“I’m always careful with money. I’m not saying I’m mean, but I’m always careful.
