I'm a fan of most of these artists (at least 2 an extent)...but i included interviews by a few people i'm not just incase they'll benifit someone else here. Enjoy!

RIHANNA

GirlLikeRihanna1: hi

DonyaInMusic: Hey Rihanna!

DonyaInMusic: First off, congrats on all your success

GirlLikeRihanna1: thanks so much

DonyaInMusic: How has your life changed since you've become famous?

GirlLikeRihanna1: wow so much, since the record deal - I have left a simple life in Barbados where I was a student

GirlLikeRihanna1: Although I have had intensive tutoring to continue my education here my days are now filled with recording, photo shoots, live dates, touring, and radio promo. It has been a whirlwind but incredibly satisfying and rewarding. In short, my life is much different now ....

DonyaInMusic: Ok, but has the quality of guys trying to holler at you gone up or down? ;-)

GirlLikeRihanna1: To tell you the truth, I really don't pay attention to that......

DonyaInMusic: huh? Come on, Rihanna! You mean to tell me no guys have stepped to you?

DonyaInMusic: No cornballs with crazy pick-up lines?

GirlLikeRihanna1: Certainly, but I just really don't pay attention to that as I am incredibly busy

DonyaInMusic: So, are you dating anyone right now? Or no time for that either?

GirlLikeRihanna1: No, i am currently single

DonyaInMusic: What about that dude from My Super Sweet 16? Have you talked to him since you escorted him to his party?

GirlLikeRihanna1: No I have not

DonyaInMusic: Well, let's say you had time for dating, and God blessed you with the perfect guy...what traits would he have?

GirlLikeRihanna1: someone who is confident, respectful, and kind

DonyaInMusic: ok, can't argue with that...

DonyaInMusic: You appeared on So You Think You Can Dance, do you like to throw down yourself when you go to the club?

DonyaInMusic: is there a crowd around you chanting "Go Rihanna!"

DonyaInMusic: or would you rather just watch others make a fool of themselves?

GirlLikeRihanna1: Definitely, dancing has always been a big part of my life and now my live show

GirlLikeRihanna1: most of the time I am with my friends. Not much chanting "Go Rihanna" but alot of fun

DonyaInMusic: ha ha

DonyaInMusic: have you lost any friends since the record deal? Anybody saying you "think you're too good" for them now?

DonyaInMusic: I remember Eve saying that her friends couldn't understand the demands of the industry

GirlLikeRihanna1: Well let's just say that you find out who your true friends are when you are having success. In terms of the demands, many people think it is all fun and games and really don't realize how packed my schedule is.........My true friends, however, understand, and are very supportive.

DonyaInMusic: How are you handling being on a huge label like Def Jam with all those other superstars?

DonyaInMusic: Ever see Beyonce or Mariah in the hallway and think "I'm better than that bitch!" :-D

GirlLikeRihanna1: I think I am signed to the greatest label on earth.....Everyone from the artists, to the staff, to senior executives have been incredibly supportive. I always say that without Def Jam, all of my success would not be possible. Sometimes it doesn't even feel like I am signed to a label but more like a family

GirlLikeRihanna1: Absolutely not to the other question. They are my idols and I look up to both of them

DonyaInMusic: ha ha, just messing with you. Both of them are very talented

GirlLikeRihanna1: yes they are

DonyaInMusic: but, I'm sure Teairra Mari is a little jealous of her "sister" Rihanna's success since we haven't even heard from her since you blew up

DonyaInMusic: maybe you guys should work together and you could help her out a little

GirlLikeRihanna1: She is also very talented.

DonyaInMusic: Are you a good cook since you're from the islands? I know many women from the Caribbean are brought up in the kitchen.

GirlLikeRihanna1: I can do a little something in the kitchen, but not like my mom. Boy do I miss her cooking

DonyaInMusic: what was your favorite dish she made?

GirlLikeRihanna1: I love curry chicken

DonyaInMusic: me too, nothing like curry or jerk chicken with a side of plantains!

GirlLikeRihanna1: no doubt

DonyaInMusic: I read you're the first of three kids, do you have brothers or sisters?

GirlLikeRihanna1: and yes, 2 brothers

DonyaInMusic: There's a lot of talk right now about how birth order affects personality.

DonyaInMusic: Here's what they say about first borns like yourself...

DonyaInMusic: Natural leaders who pay great attention to detail

DonyaInMusic: Somewhat bossy, don't like surprises

DonyaInMusic: Sound like you?

GirlLikeRihanna1: Leader - I believe. bossy, no

DonyaInMusic: You also appeared on "Bring It On" and "All My Children" as yourself...would you eventually like to act playing characters in other roles?

GirlLikeRihanna1: Definitely. First, I want to focus on my music career and then pursue acting after some serious lessons

DonyaInMusic: good idea

DonyaInMusic: So many people just jump out there without really knowing what they're doing

GirlLikeRihanna1: so i hear. i just want to be the best in whatever i do. I think that acting lessons will be a great help...

DonyaInMusic: do you want to go to college one day?

GirlLikeRihanna1: yes that would be great

DonyaInMusic: any idea what you would study?

GirlLikeRihanna1: i think psychology

DonyaInMusic: ok, cool

DonyaInMusic: Just one more question...

GirlLikeRihanna1: ok

DonyaInMusic: If you absolutely HAD to choose, which one would you pick - Usher or Chris Brown?

GirlLikeRihanna1: They are both very talented so I will choose both...

DonyaInMusic: oh, damn!

DonyaInMusic: lol

GirlLikeRihanna1: thanks so much for the interview

DonyaInMusic: Well, Rihanna thanks for chatting with us today

GirlLikeRihanna1: no prob

DonyaInMusic: I'm sure your momma is very proud of her baby's success!

DonyaInMusic: Thanks again and good luck with your tour

GirlLikeRihanna1: Thanks and take care

If Donya absolutely had to pick between Coolio or Rappin 4-Tay, she would go with Coolio. Crazy cornrows are one thing, but no man should be seen sporting finger waves!

JOJOBrendaninmusic: hey!!!

JoJoHighRoad2: helloooo!

Brendaninmusic: how are you JoJo? where are you IMing us from today?

JoJoHighRoad2: I'm at my home in Massachusetts right now.

JoJoHighRoad2: and I'm good. how are you?

Brendaninmusic: doing good thanks!

Brendaninmusic: getting a little relaxation time at home before the big album release???

JoJoHighRoad2: hehe, yes! The leaves are just starting to change and the weather is awesome and all my family's here, so it's good to chill out a bit before it gets extra crazy!

Brendaninmusic: very nice!

Brendaninmusic: so you have a lot goin' on lately

Brendaninmusic: first off, tell us a little (or a lot) about 'The High Road'

JoJoHighRoad2: It's my sophomore record! And I'm very excited about it.

JoJoHighRoad2: It's been 3 years since i was in the studio recording my first album, so to get back in and sing again was so much fun.

JoJoHighRoad2: i had taken some time off to film two movies and had a great experience with both, but it felt so nice to get back to the music.

JoJoHighRoad2: I worked with everyone from Swizz Beats and Scott Storch to Diane Warren and Billy Steinberg. It's eclectic and something that i worked very hard on.

Brendaninmusic: those are some of the biggest names in the business. What was it like to work with those people?

JoJoHighRoad2: It was incredible. I was a little nervous to be honest, though... I got to go to Miami to work with Scott Storch and Sean Garrett and i didn't know quite what to expect.

JoJoHighRoad2: All the producers, however, were so nice and helpful and definitely put me at ease.

Brendaninmusic: was it more of a collaborative process with them?

Brendaninmusic: or did you take more of the driver's seat?

JoJoHighRoad2: Thankfully yes, they were always open to my ideas, opinions or suggestions.

JoJoHighRoad2: Since I'm still very young, I love to listen to and learn from other peoples' ideas because they have more experience when it comes to things and they have dozens of hit songs under their belt, so i think its good to work in conjunction with them as long as we can still get across who i want to be as an artist.

JoJoHighRoad2: sorry... I'm taking a long time to type

JoJoHighRoad2: lol

Brendaninmusic: haha it's ok. you're on vacation, you're allowed to be as slow as you want

Brendaninmusic: who seemed to mesh the best with your sound/style

JoJoHighRoad2: hmmmm... that's a tough one! But i think Billy Steinberg (who did my first single 'Too Little Too Late') and I mesh very well.

JoJoHighRoad2: He works with a guy named Josh and together we wrote a song called 'How to Touch a Girl.'

JoJoHighRoad2: They are soooo cool and sooo talented and are always pushing me to try new things and take me vocally to notes i didn't know i could reach. lol

Brendaninmusic: awesome

Brendaninmusic: so, the people you worked with are giants in music... did you get any dirt on some of the other people they worked with?? ;-)

JoJoHighRoad2: oooooh actually yes!

Brendaninmusic: ooh do tell!

JoJoHighRoad2: U know i can't spill any of that!! I'm a nice girl...

JoJoHighRoad2: 8-)

Brendaninmusic: ok ok... good P.C. answer... (you can share after our chat!!)

JoJoHighRoad2: I don't know. just things like what kind of things certain artists demanded...

JoJoHighRoad2: or wouldn't do...

JoJoHighRoad2: hehe

Brendaninmusic: so everyone who just knows your music thinks you've been on a nice relaxing vacation since your first album... like you said it's been 3 years since you recorded it, but you did two movies.

Brendaninmusic: did you study acting at the same time as you were pursuing your music career?

JoJoHighRoad2: I've actually been acting since i was 6.

JoJoHighRoad2: I did a bit of theatre and commercials and even a little spot in an independent movie when i was about 8 or 9.

JoJoHighRoad2: So acting wasn't just something random for me to jump into after the first album, even though it might seem that way.

JoJoHighRoad2: lol

JoJoHighRoad2: I really enjoy it and i knew i didn't want to release back-to-back CDs so i thought it would be a fun way to occupy my time in between music projects!

Brendaninmusic: that's cool. you've been quite the busy girl throughout your life... now that you've done major projects in both music and the big screen, does one seem to be more "you" than the other?

Brendaninmusic: maybe you will do a musical like OutKast?

JoJoHighRoad2: I would say music is more "me" because in music you can be whoever you want to be at any moment and constantly change and evolve and show different sides of your personality.

JoJoHighRoad2: In a movie, you are one character and although you go through different emotions, you are not yourself. You're acting!

JoJoHighRoad2: I LOVE 'IDLEWILD' by the way. that movie was awesome. OutKast is great...

Brendaninmusic: haha nice! maybe one of these days we can expect JoJo the movie/musical!

JoJoHighRoad2: who knows...

Brendaninmusic: so i've got you on MY ipod. other than OutKast, what are you listening to these days?

JoJoHighRoad2: I just downloaded Beyonce's new album to my ipod yesterday. I'm a huge fan of hers... i also loooove Joni Mitchell. She is one of my favorite songwriters. Also James Taylor, and D'Angelo I've been listening to a lot.

JoJoHighRoad2: And Bob Marley!

Brendaninmusic: nice! p.s. 'Irreplaceable' on Beyonce's cd is AMAZING! check it out if you haven't

JoJoHighRoad2: BEAUTFIUL song, i agree

JoJoHighRoad2: I love 'Get Me Bodied'

JoJoHighRoad2: she's awesome

Brendaninmusic: now about you... 'Too Little, Too Late' is doing really well, when you finished it, did you KNOW it would be a hit or are you a worrier?

JoJoHighRoad2: Aww thank you!

JoJoHighRoad2: I'm excited about it, and i really liked it from the moment it was played over the phone for me.

JoJoHighRoad2: I heard it first with a demo-singer on it and they asked me if i wanted to record it. And i said YES!

JoJoHighRoad2: I loved the way it was written and knew a lot of people would relate to it.

JoJoHighRoad2: After i recorded it, i knew i wanted it to be the first single. It was one of my best experiences in the studio ever, as far as how fun it was to record.

Brendaninmusic: it really is a great song, your voice sounds amazing on it

Brendaninmusic: you can hear that over the last 3 years your sound has definitely matured

JoJoHighRoad2: thank you very much

Brendaninmusic: so I was lucky enough to hear a little bit of your album

Brendaninmusic: the style of the songs are pretty diverse. what can fans expect when they get to listen?

JoJoHighRoad2: They'll hear growth and a bit of maturity in my vocals and the content of the lyrics.

JoJoHighRoad2: I'm by no means "grown," but in the past years i've experienced a lot, got to see a lot of the world through traveling and promotion, and tried new things vocally that you will be able to hear on 'The High Road.'

Brendaninmusic: The song 'The Way You Do Me,' you sound just like Beyonce... you've got a strong set of pipes!

JoJoHighRoad2: Oh my gosh, thank you! That is quite a compliment!

--------------------------------------

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

Brendaninmusic: hey there Justin. what's up??

JustinsLoveSound: hey what's happening?

Brendaninmusic: not too much. thanks for chatting today!

Brendaninmusic: where are you IMing us from??

JustinsLoveSound: backstage at The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Brendaninmusic: nice

Brendaninmusic: any other fun people back there with you?

JustinsLoveSound: well there's Jo...

JustinsLoveSound: as in Jo Momma

Brendaninmusic: hahaha

Brendaninmusic: i was askin for that one ;)

Brendaninmusic: are you in crazy schedule mode with the album release?

JustinsLoveSound: Yes...to say the least

Brendaninmusic: what have you been doin???

JustinsLoveSound: promo, promo, sleep, promo

Brendaninmusic: ooh you actually get to sleep in there? sweet! haha

Brendaninmusic: i have to ask though

Brendaninmusic: how sick are you of being asked how you're bringing sexy back, and where sexy went??

JustinsLoveSound: SOOOOOO sick of it!

Brendaninmusic: hahaha i can imagine!

JustinsLoveSound: everybody is a comedian

Brendaninmusic: everyone seems to be jumping on the "bringing sexy back" bandwagon

Brendaninmusic: AL GORE quoted you at the VMAs? is it all a little crazy for you?

JustinsLoveSound: to be honest i didn't expect it to be such a big catch phrase

Brendaninmusic: my mom keeps asking me if i brought sexy back... its a little disturbing

JustinsLoveSound: sorry buddy about your mom

Brendaninmusic: hahha. it's all good ;)

Brendaninmusic: who is the weirdest person you've heard use it?

JustinsLoveSound: i don't know about weird, but i certainly didn't expect our former Vice President to use it.

Brendaninmusic: i don't really think anyone did. lol

Brendaninmusic: 'Sexyback' is such a different sound for you

Brendaninmusic: on first listen you almost can't recognize it's YOU

Brendaninmusic: what brought you to change your sound so much

JustinsLoveSound: it wasn't really a conscious effort, i just like the way it sounded when i put my voice through a guitar amp.

JustinsLoveSound: i thought it fit the track.

Brendaninmusic: did you ever freak out that it wasn't going to click with your fans?

JustinsLoveSound: i don't think you can be in the studio and say that to yourself. you might syke yourself out of something amazing.

JustinsLoveSound: i think that being an artist you try new things and i think at the end of the day if you love it then that's what is most important.

Brendaninmusic: well it looks like your intuition was right

JustinsLoveSound: thanks

Brendaninmusic: did you feel a lot of pressure after the monstrous success of 'Justified'?

JustinsLoveSound: i wanted to make something that was different from Justified... so i tried to keep my mind off of that even though i love the sound of that album.

Brendaninmusic: The sound is definitely unique... you worked it pretty well

Brendaninmusic: the album is called 'Furturesex/Lovesounds,' also a song on the album

Brendaninmusic: what exactly does that mean?

JustinsLoveSound: it's just kind of a culmination of songs' moods on the record.

JustinsLoveSound: i thought that it best described the overall sound

JustinsLoveSound: it's funny too, the first half is the future/sex mood...and the second half is the love/sounds.

Brendaninmusic: so the first half is the one you play late at night, eh?

Brendaninmusic: ;)

JustinsLoveSound: the first half is the club...the second half is the "aftermath."

Brendaninmusic: what is YOUR love sound?

Brendaninmusic: at this point, i think mine would probably sound like a dying giraffe J

JustinsLoveSound: you might want to keep that to yourself...ha ha

Brendaninmusic: advice from the master ;)

Brendaninmusic: you were just on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with the headline 'Wet Dream -- The New King of Sex Gets Loose'

Brendaninmusic: do you think you deserve that title?

JustinsLoveSound: um...i don't make up the titles

JustinsLoveSound: i write the songs

Brendaninmusic: do you think of yourself as a sex symbol?

JustinsLoveSound: not exactly

Brendaninmusic: how would you classify Justin Timberlake?

JustinsLoveSound: a damn lucky guy

Brendaninmusic: hahah

Brendaninmusic: i don't think anyone would argue that one!

Brendaninmusic: you worked with a lot of big name producers on this CD

Brendaninmusic: how did your vision for the album flow with them

JustinsLoveSound: well i really found the chemistry with Timbaland

JustinsLoveSound: We went into the studio with nothing in mind and came up with songs that all sounded cohesive.

Brendaninmusic: you two definitely worked some magic... word was that you guys did a song with Nelly Furtado but that didn't seem to surface. True story?

JustinsLoveSound: true story

Brendaninmusic: will that song ever see the light of day?

JustinsLoveSound: probably

JustinsLoveSound: most likely

JustinsLoveSound: we will have to see

Brendaninmusic: are there any other artists you'd like to do something with?

JustinsLoveSound: i don't know...i don't like to force collaborations.

Brendaninmusic: out of all that you've done, who do you think vibed the best with you?

JustinsLoveSound: definitely Timbaland

Brendaninmusic: nice

Brendaninmusic: the guitar interlude after 'Love Stoned' is sick

JustinsLoveSound: thanks

Brendaninmusic: I read that it was inspired by the band Interpol

Brendaninmusic: what other music are you listening to these days?

JustinsLoveSound: i listen to everything. i'm really loving the last Arctic Monkey's album. But lately i've been going back and listening to a lot of Johnny Cash

Brendaninmusic: nice

Brendaninmusic: so you're the kinda guy who is no stranger to the tabloids

Brendaninmusic: all of your relationships tend to be very public

Brendaninmusic: what's it like to be so out there in front of everybody?

JustinsLoveSound: the tabloids, although they may seem like they are fun to read to a lot of people, are sensationalized dramatizations. they aren't real.

JustinsLoveSound: so, i choose to stay out of them, not read them, and to continue to live my life.

Brendaninmusic: do you feel that you've been able to maintain your own personal life well enough even with people trying to creep in?

JustinsLoveSound: of course.

JustinsLoveSound: hey man, Leno is calling.

Brendaninmusic: well speaking of personal life, i know you have a lot goin' on, but thanks for spending time with us today!

JustinsLoveSound: thanks for chatting

Brendaninmusic: thanks to you!

JustinsLoveSound: take care!

Brendaninmusic: bye :)

BrendaninMusic brought sexy back ages ago.

---------------------------------------

JC of NSYNC

BrendanInMusic: hey there, how's it goin??

UntilJC: how are you

BrendanInMusic: i'm doin good thanks

BrendanInMusic: thanks so much for takin the time to chat!

UntilJC: no sweat

BrendanInMusic: so what's goin on? where are you today?

UntilJC: LA today

BrendanInMusic: has the crazy schedule begun or do you still have some "quiet" time before the big album release?

UntilJC: it's actually just getting started

UntilJC: just got back in town 2 days ago

BrendanInMusic: where have you been?

UntilJC: NY the last week

UntilJC: headed to Atlanta in a day or 2

BrendanInMusic: very cool

UntilJC: NY was cool

BrendanInMusic: what do you have going on in Atlanta?

UntilJC: Atlanta i have to finish up one of my last mixes

BrendanInMusic: so does the album have a title yet?

UntilJC: of course not

UntilJC: i'm nuts man

BrendanInMusic: haha.

BrendanInMusic: Schizophrenic, your first solo album, had a pretty appropriate title

UntilJC: yeah

UntilJC: i have a few ideas but i don't think i'm completely sold on one yet

BrendanInMusic: what will sell you?

UntilJC: i'll know it when i hear it i guess

BrendanInMusic: so, the first single off the album is 'Until Yesterday'

UntilJC: indeed it is

UntilJC: i think is sounds great

BrendanInMusic: it's definitely a great song. i randomly start humming the "ooohs" in my cube haha

UntilJC: haha

BrendanInMusic: and on this song, you worked with your good buddy justin right?

UntilJC: yeah

UntilJC: it was the second song we worked on

UntilJC: and it's where i feel like we found the entire feel of the record

BrendanInMusic: was it odd working with him on non nsync stuff? what was the vibe?

UntilJC: wasn't odd at all

UntilJC: it came completely natural

UntilJC: it was relaxed

UntilJC: we had already written one song

UntilJC: so we were starting to really fall into a groove

UntilJC: by then he had a strong idea of the kind of things i was into

UntilJC: and everything just rolled from there

BrendanInMusic: nice. seemed to have worked well!

UntilJC: i think so

BrendanInMusic: you also worked with a lot of big names on the album

BrendanInMusic: out of everyone you worked with who did you mesh with the best?

UntilJC: i worked with quite a few people on this record

UntilJC: it seems like the cuts that made the album were all done by the people that i got along with and had the most fun with

UntilJC: all the records on this album that made it came from great writing experiences

BrendanInMusic: nice

UntilJC: so i wouldn't really choose one over the other

BrendanInMusic: what else can fans expect to hear on your album?

UntilJC: this record has A LOT of singing on it

UntilJC: Even the first single is a very complete song

UntilJC: very musical

UntilJC: not just an 8 bar loop with a melody written over it

UntilJC: some vibes are great like that

UntilJC: but i wanted to make a very musical and melodic record

BrendanInMusic: did you feel like you had something to prove this time around? your soph. solo record??

UntilJC: not at all

UntilJC: i just wanted to make a record with great tunes

BrendanInMusic: i don't think anyone would argue that one!

UntilJC: there are a few songs with a great sense of humor and sarcasm

UntilJC: like the first single

UntilJC: i think that shows how i don't take myself too seriously

BrendanInMusic: who was playing with fire?

UntilJC: that no good heart stomping tramp that got knocked up by another man

BrendanInMusic: hahahaha!

BrendanInMusic: hate that bitch

BrendanInMusic: so you definitely have the laid back thing down, but you've also described your music as intelligent pop music

BrendanInMusic: what does that mean exactly?

UntilJC: i didn't settle

UntilJC: i wanted to make real songs

UntilJC: even if they were sarcastic

UntilJC: i wanted to push them

UntilJC: so much of what's popular is hypnotic

UntilJC: and that's fine

UntilJC: but i wanted folks to kind of catch things and think about things when they heard these records

BrendanInMusic: did any one specific thing help drive you in that direction? a muse or idol, etc?

UntilJC: i don't know if it was anyone in particular

UntilJC: i think it was more me looking for something interesting to listen too

BrendanInMusic: what else are you listening to now?

UntilJC: i don't know really

UntilJC: everything and anything i guess

UntilJC: music is food

BrendanInMusic: nothing on heavy rotation on your ipod?

UntilJC: i pretty much download a new album everyday

UntilJC: new or old

BrendanInMusic: what was the last one you got?

UntilJC: embarrassingly enough Thin Lizzy

UntilJC: good time records

UntilJC: haha

BrendanInMusic: lol, nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure ;)

UntilJC: that and i picked up a YES record last night

UntilJC: those were the last 2

BrendanInMusic: i recommend the new Fergie. its pretty good!

UntilJC: right on

UntilJC: i like Powlow

UntilJC: he's a great beat guy

BrendanInMusic: is there anyone you still have a hankering to work with musically?

UntilJC: I don't know

UntilJC: I think I really just want to get better at what I do everyday

BrendanInMusic: paris hilton perhaps? ;)

UntilJC: no thanks

UntilJC: haha

BrendanInMusic: lol

BrendanInMusic: so a few months back there were rumors that nsync was going to get back and do another cd

BrendanInMusic: was that just rumor?

UntilJC: just a rumor

BrendanInMusic: is that something you would have liked to do? maybe in the future?

UntilJC: who knows

UntilJC: right now i'm happy working on what i'm doing

UntilJC: i've had a great time working with Justin

UntilJC: I think at this point it might take away from what we accomplished

UntilJC: we're all happy where we are at

UntilJC: but i can never say never because life is a journey and they are my friends

BrendanInMusic: well there's still some hope for those who still have the marionette dolls on their shelves ;)

UntilJC: haha

UntilJC: you might have to paint some lines in the faces and paint the hair grey by then, but there is hope

BrendanInMusic: what about you,? anything else you feel like conquering

BrendanInMusic: acting?

BrendanInMusic: curling?

BrendanInMusic: lol

UntilJC: haha

UntilJC: I keep an open mind to options

UntilJC: but right now its basically the record

UntilJC: i really do want people to see this is my passion

UntilJC: and when you dedicate too much time to other things i feel like it takes away from your focus on what is important

UntilJC: maybe later on

UntilJC: but for now

UntilJC: i'm still doing a lot of learning and self discovery

BrendanInMusic: what is the most valuable thing you think you've learned at this stage of the game?

UntilJC: everyone in the world is searching for what makes them happy

UntilJC: what they want to do with their lives

UntilJC: i feel fortunate to realize what makes me happy

UntilJC: and to make a life out of what i'm passionate about

BrendanInMusic: so do any other songs on the album stick out to you?

BrendanInMusic: any that you find yourself really magnetized to?

UntilJC: I'm a sucker for a ballad

UntilJC: because i scream my head off in them

UntilJC: i think people will respond to the vocal performance

BrendanInMusic: sucker for love?

UntilJC: but the 2 other songs i kind of respond to might be the weirder ones

UntilJC: Satellite is a song I like alot

UntilJC: as well as I Found You Out

UntilJC: Satellite is a great story and metaphor

UntilJC: I Found You Out is just one big build to a climax

UntilJC: so by the time you get to the end you just feel lifted

BrendanInMusic: nice, can't wait to hear them!

BrendanInMusic: so you said that this album pretty much has all your attention at the moment. does that mean no love life for you?

UntilJC: love life is a wreck

BrendanInMusic: uh oh, that doesn't sound too good

UntilJC: haha

UntilJC: not bad

UntilJC: i can be a walking disaster

BrendanInMusic: do you think that has to do with your schedule? the people you meet??

UntilJC: sometimes it's the people i meet

UntilJC: sometimes it's me

UntilJC: sometimes it's the erratic schedule

UntilJC: who knows

BrendanInMusic: what is it you look for in someone?

UntilJC: i love it when someone draws something out in you

UntilJC: you forgot you had or didn't know you had

BrendanInMusic: i read somewhere that you had your first kiss at 7...

BrendanInMusic: is that true??

UntilJC: somewhere around there yes

BrendanInMusic: started playin' the field pretty early! haha

UntilJC: we called it soap opera kissing

UntilJC: i guess that's me

UntilJC: the experimental one

UntilJC: though i do have my limits

BrendanInMusic: what type of soap opera

BrendanInMusic: the one on daytime tv, or hbo after hours?

BrendanInMusic: lol

UntilJC: daytime tv when i was young

BrendanInMusic: i guess we can use our imaginations for when you became a young man jc ;)

UntilJC: ........................

BrendanInMusic: so you've definitely made some tabloid headlines, but for the most part, your personal life still tends to be somewhat well covered

UntilJC: i think that's true

BrendanInMusic: is it something intentional or just the luck of the draw?

UntilJC: i'm not looking to extort a career out of my personal life

BrendanInMusic: do you think a lot of what is out there smells a tad like publicity stunts?

UntilJC: who knows

UntilJC: but some of what's out there is conveniently in front of the camera

UntilJC: i will never dog anyone for having a good time

BrendanInMusic: so no crazy drug addiction or affairs to spill??

UntilJC: ...............

UntilJC: haha

BrendanInMusic: hahaha nice

BrendanInMusic: we'll have to wait and see ;)

BrendanInMusic: but totally excited about Until Yesterday and the new album

UntilJC: thanks man

UntilJC: me too

BrendanInMusic: can't wait to see much more of you soon

UntilJC: i feel like i have something unique to offer the world

UntilJC: and i'm excited for the people who will enjoy it to have it

BrendanInMusic: you think the world is ready for you??

UntilJC: i hope so
