Interview By Kayley Guyette<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the meaning of Voodoo<\/em> as a whole?<\/strong>
\nThe meaning of the album is to resonate with listeners and take them on a journey throughout each song. I wanted each song to take you to a different place, yet keeping the album as a whole cohesive-like scenes to a movie.<\/p>\n

Where did you get the idea to set up the album like a soundtrack for a film?<\/strong>
\nThe album was airing a very cinematic sound and I wanted to give the feeling of a film.. I didn\u2019t want the album to take itself too seriously so I thought re-creating a \u201cVoodoo-esque\u201d scenario would be fun and give a feeling of what the listener was in for..<\/p>\n

Can Brendan sing and is he willing to sing on your next album?<\/strong>
\nHe can, and has offered back-ground vocals to tracks when needed.<\/p>\n

Also, will you play guitar when you perform?<\/strong>
\nYes! At times, I will for sure.
\n
\nAre you ever afraid of becoming too popular or feel like your music is too underrated?<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t focus on fears like that.<\/p>\n

What did you learn from your role on Instant Star?<\/strong>
\nI learn new things everyday!<\/p>\n

Anything that helped your career or increased your creativity?<\/strong>
\nProbably having the opportunity to work with so many talented songwriters and musicians.<\/p>\n

What are you planning to do with the next album?<\/strong>
\nNot in that headspace yet, but I know it will be completely different than Voodoo<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you could meet anyone from the past, who would it be and why?<\/strong>
\nAlbert Einstein, so I could just hang out with him and pick his brain for a while.<\/p>\n

Which parts of the states would you like to tour?<\/strong>
\nAll of it!<\/p>\n

When did you start playing guitar?<\/strong>
\nWhen I was about 16.<\/p>\n

What was the best part about releasing your album?<\/strong>
\nGetting our sound out there.<\/p>\n

Who inspires you the most?<\/strong>
\nLots of things inspire me\u2026 sometimes strangers even inspire me.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
