Honestly, the only thing I loved when I was a kid was basketball. I was an athlete when I was a kid, and that was it.
My earliest memories as a kid was I would always try to make my mom and my stepdad laugh at dinner. Or make my friends laugh in class. And, I don't know, it's something I just really enjoy doing.
We want to help kids affected by the tragedy as much as we can.
I was very shy as a kid but when I found out I could perform and have people's attention everything changed for me. My mom likes to joke that until I was eight or nine I only knew what my sneakers looked like because I constantly walked around with my head down. But all of a sudden the stage made sense and that's what brought me out of my shell and a monster was created.
Even as a kid I would find the one person whose attention I didn't have and I would zone in on that person. It became a challenge.
I'm a very melody-driven writer and I have a rule that I don't write anything down because if I can't remember the melody than it wasn't worth remembering. So it's my way to test myself in the studio. When I was a kid I could sing pretty well so melody always made a lot of sense to me.
If you put out 150 percent, then you can always expect 100 percent back. That's what I was always told as a kid, and It's worked for me so far!
I've played in sold out stadiums before half a million people, but this makes me nervous.
There's still a chance that 'N Sync could get back together.
We're dirty pop. It's a trend now, but we were the first ones to do it!
Justin has signed up for the play for various reasons. He's good mates with Kevin and has been looking for a chance to have a go at a meaty theatre role. It fits in with his bigger plans.
When I release my new album this year...Urge and I will be doing some new and creative things. Urge offers a new way for artists like myself to specifically reach music fans with a ton of options.
She had a passion for what she did, ... She loved to work and she loved to make music.
I'm not in this for the money because if I was, I would have jumped out after our first album.
