There are plenty of little things Alexz Johnson is grateful for while on tour. One of the biggest \u2013 the weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been lots of driving and we\u2019ve been fortunate to have some great weather,\u201d she says during a recent phone interview. \u201cThe tour has been great so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson is a Canadian singer-songwriter who is touring in support of her recently released album \u201cLet Em Eat Cake.\u201d With the album, the 28-year-old has put a focus back on her music.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s taken two years to get the album together,\u201d she says. \u201cThis was a lot of hard work and I\u2019m happy with the results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s music career was on the back burner as she built up her career in acting. She is best known for her role as Jude Harrison in the Canadian TV series \u201cInstant Star.\u201d She\u2019s also starred in the Disney Channel\u2019s \u201cSo Weird\u201d as Annie Thelen and forayed into film with her role as Erin Ulmer in 2006\u2032s \u201cFinal Destination 3.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson says while acting has brought in some money and continuous work, music has always been at the heart of her soul.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, I would love to be on a regular series because I would have a paycheck coming in regularly,\u201d she says. \u201cRight now, I\u2019m giving my all to music because I want to see where it can take me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson\u2019s music is eclectic in that so many different genres inspire her.<\/p>\n

Growing up, she never really listened to popular radio.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents played some of their favorites and these were songs that weren\u2019t radio hits,\u201d she says. \u201cThis inspired me to delve deeper into other artists. This is where I figured out that so many genres inspire me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson currently resides in New York and says the city was the inspiration behind the album.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving in Brooklyn, there are so many talented musicians,\u201d she says. \u201cThis was my point of inspiration on the album. I\u2019m sure it will change for the next.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
