I was asked to do an interview with a local journalist from Des Moines, IA. Deserae Robbinson. She's doing an article on me for her paper she publishes about fashion, entertainment, nightlife, etc :) IM EXCITED AND HONORED!!!!!
Have you always enjoyed the art of music?
"Yes, always. Ever since I was really little Ive always been singing, dancing, you name it. I know its cliche but whatever, its me!"
Any loves, other then music?
"Modeling, Acting, Photography, Film, Animals, the outdoors, Traveling...you name it!"
Any celeb crushes?
"Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts, Zac Efron, and yes, Ill admit it, Aaron Carter"
If you could have any style wat would it be?
"My own. I portray my own style. I pick bits and pieces up from everything, mix matching them, coming up with something random at times. Or somedays Ill be totally casual and normal, the next I'll be extremely punked out. It depends how what side of the bed I wake up in the morning!"
Fave colour?
"Ive always said blue and black but I have a new love for pink. I actually adore all colors though.Shh dont tell anyone ;)"
Best advice ever given?
"To get rid of all the bad things in my life and all the bad people who were pulling me down and keeping me in the hole I was in. Ever since Ive actually listened and TAKEN that advice my life has been SO much different. Im more confident than I ever have been, Im not afraid to take a stand, Im bluntly honest (which gets me in trouble!) and overal Im just back to being the person I always was"
First song ever sung?
"In general, the only one I can think of was by MYMP, "Ill Never Get Over You Getting Over Me". I totally use to rock out that song when I was like 3 with my mom in my carseat in the car!!! No joke. First LIVE song Ive sung, like alone, other than choir and stuff, probably the National Anthem. Im kind of "known" for that song around my roots"
Secret craving?
"Pickle juice"
Fave food?
"Can I say food in general? Becuase I seriously love too many to name. Its my BFF"
When did you first start singing live shows?
"When I was like 10 maybe? Thats actually a wild guess. I really dont know to be honest. I would guess around that age though. National Anthem singing anyways. Been singin that darn song for years!!"
What did your family do to encourage you?
"My mom's always been a huge pusher to get me to sing. I know I love to sing, and so does everyone else but I think secretly in her mind shes always been like "Megan will be a singer someday". I remember she use to tell me to audition for Star Search when I was really young. Now it's all about American Idol and getting me in at Disney haha. Another huge supporter is my Grandma. She doesnt go any place without being like "Megan sang the National Anthem at the Iowa Basketball game! You should hear her!!". My grandmas a crazy women haha! My entirely my best friend"
Who else in your family sings?
"My mama is a WONDERFUL singer though she doesnt seem to realize it. So is my grandma but she never sings anymore. I actually REALLY enjoy listening to my grandma sing but when she does it in front of me she gets all embarassed. Cute right? My 7 year old sister is really picking up the gene too"
Who are your musical inspirations?
"In general, Rascal Flatts, for a LOT of reasons. Song writing though, Taylor Swift. Vocally, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, and Haley from Paramore. And vocally/musical theatre-ish, Eden Espinosa and Megan Hilty. The end."
What kind of music do you listen to today?
"Country mainly but I listen to everything. I know everyone says it but hey, its my answer. If theres a story behind the song Im listening to, Im going to like it. If theres passion and soul behind the lyrics, Im going to love it. Im big into lyrics. So overall, Ill listen to anything."
What embarrassing songs might I find on your MP3 player?
"I dont find them 'embarassing' persay. They are bands I grew up with and still love to jam out to. Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, Aaron Carter....all that junk. I still crank it up and rock it. Oh I also have concert band music on there. I guess that makes me a geek"
Where would you most like to perform?
"National Anthem at the Daytona 500"
Who would you most like to open for?
"Rascal Flatts or Paramore. Depending on what "route" I go with my music"
If you weren't singing, what would you be doing?
"Acting and modeling. Maybe cosmotology or photography. I have a HUGE "to-do" list I like to call it. Also including marine biology"
Do you play any instruments?
"Clarinet. And a little guitar and a little keyboard. I can also carry a drum beat if that counts, and I play a mad cowbell ;)"
If you could dabble in another genre of music, what would it be?
"Blues/Jazz from like the 40's-ish. LOVE that era."
What genre of music can't you stand to listen to?
"If I HAD to pick one itd be rap, but like the gang rap, that I dont like. Rap in general can be good if it's written right"
What hidden talents do you have?
"I have a high pain tolerance? Is that a talent?!"
Do you enjoy writing music and/or lyrics?
"Yes and no. I enjoy it, yes. Am I good at it, no"
What do you think about when your preforming?
"I love looking at people's reactions to me. I dont really know what Im 'thinking' about. I just know its the time of my life, no matter if its me singing the National Anthem for a crowd of 5, me in a musical, or me singing for the super bowl. I love the rush"
What can we expect from you in the future?
"Im working on a demo cd right now. Songs are in the process of getting written. I sing every Thursday on www.thestage.tv (be there!) 10-11pm central time. Its a great site for some great exposure. Let me know if anyones interested, Ill get you hooked up!! Also, Im always doing random modeling/runway events. Im also looking forward to singing the National Anthem more as always, and auditioning for more musicals :)"
