I need a variety in my life and my career. It's never boring. It's been challenging at times, but it's also been such an amazing ride. Deep down inside, throughout everything, I just still have this passion."

The 40-year-old aspiring singer is on her verge to breaking into the music world with the help of Grammy-nominated producer, Bill Hamel, who approached her to work on her new sound. Hamel has worked with stars like, Madonna, U2, Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake.

Electra plans on going back to the studio to finish a full-length album and hasn't let her "boyfriend," X-Factor judge, Simon Cowell judge her talents just yet. "I have not played it for him," she added, "I don't think he even knows about it."

Although, Electra doesn't publicly say she is in a relationship with Cowell she says, "We're really good friends," she admitted. "We worked together on 'Britain's Got Talent' and we just clicked. I just think he's so funny and so charming, and our personalities really get along well. We had great chemistry on camera, and now that he's in town doing 'X Factor,' we've had more time to hang out. I just adore him. I think he's a sweetheart!"
