Backstage Interview
All About Me My Favorites If I... Why Music? Wrap-Up
Bio:
I believe that everyone should have the chance to do what they really want in life and not what someone else believes is right for them. Now is the time to Live Your Dream. I hope that is what you find here on The Next American Star. So that you never have to hear again that "it is time to grow up and get a real job". Do you really want to grow up and be as unhappy as they are? Why not hone your craft here, pursue your passion now and get discovered?

Hey, no problem! Um, I can't really think of any specific questions in the profile that should be removed, but it should be shortened a bit. There are many questions in there that I feel wouldn't apply to everyone, such as "Favorite clothing designer". Not everyone follows that type of stuff, so maybe questions along those lines should be reconsidered or changed. Other than that, it's looking great so far! Love the voting interface, the music and/or video plays very quickly after the page has loaded, and the website overall is just very easy to browse and navigate. Nice! -Zach

Hey Lisa, No problem, glad I could be a part of the site. Michael said I was very talented? How sweet of him, haha. Thanks a lot though; I'm really glad you like the music. I like the other artists so far; I've actually known Goot for a while and have kept in touch with him over Myspace. I like how the website features both local, smaller artists like State Madison and up-and-comers like Hey Monday. Good job so far, and thanks for letting my music be a part of it! :]
