Simpson
ding like
when did you realize that you had talent
and you’re able to sing I started
singing when I was seven and that was
when I started riding my foot I knew
lekha just like multiple chords on a
guitar and I just write songs my first I
guess conceptually the songs were pretty
upset when I was when I was younger but
you know they started getting better and
better as I grew up and I really when I
was old enough to probably think and
really understand
music was was probably like 10 or 11 and
and that’s when that’s when I was like
you know I really want to ever gonna
keep going with this obviously I am I
had huge dreams um I still do I think I
always will
I didn’t think it possible like everyone
was like dang you gotta be in the u.s.
to be in the music industry and
everything and I was like okay and I’m
just gonna go to school and you know I
was I was a swimmer I swam like every
single day and and that was sort of my
life but I was just posting YouTube
videos on the side for fun and then that
was sort of how it how it happened yeah
you’re a big fan of Justin Timberlake
Jackson’s would you like about these
guys they’re entertainers yeah I mean
and that’s something that that I really
want to strive to be like I mean it’s
important to be able to entertain it you
know put on the show and and I’m you
know working on the dancing and
practicing the guitar and stuff
Justin Timberlake especially like hehe
can get up and dance and he goes and
sits in the piano and you know I just
eat his show is I’m gonna very devasena
what he does and and I really like look
up to that and you know we see you on
the screens you know in the videos but
tell us a little something that we may
not know about you I’m really just a
regular kid and I just love being being
a kid and hanging out with friends like
I love I love the beach when I say like
that’s one of my favorite places in the
world you know on stage you definitely
see like an energetic side of me and and
you know I guess in person I’m pretty
pretty laid-back um I think some of my
fans know that you know if they I guess
and I met me I loved being a kid I loved
hanging out friends playing video games
and just just hanging out I guess yeah
and this is a crazy business what’s the
best advice that someone has given you
about this business I think it’s very
important not to take things too
seriously I think it’s important to have
a good time because you know the
business can be very a very like
stressful you know if you if you look at
it in in that way you know I’m still a
kid you know things can turn negative
it’s like if you let them and I think
it’s important just to just to hang like
if something goes wrong like it’s not a
big deal you know it’s like not the end
of the world it’s just yeah I mean I
think it’s important just to keep a
smile on your face and really really
roll with the punches I think and I
think I’m pretty good at that
you mentioned this before you want to
pursue your dreams what’s the ultimate
goal for you graeme
I think that’s when I have one of every
artists dreams I think a number one
album is it’s my other goal
I just want to inspire people and I want
to inspire you know how the kids like I
know how many kids are out there with
with dream that I want to I want to make
sure the kids believe in themselves and
have to have the confidence to go and to
go and chase him I guess wonder you got
a let it go long cuz you have a long day
I was really pleasure meeting you EJ
