Joe deed onlangs weer een interview waarin hij vertelt over het mentor zijn voor Acuvue, wat hij graag nog eens zou doen en het nieuwe album.
Om deze saaie tekst (gelukkig is de inhoud dat niet!) wat op te fleuren heb ik er wat recente foto's van Joe toegevoegd! Enjoy!
Joe Jonas on His New Album and Big Dreams
Joe Jonas has had a busy month. In addition to premiering a new track with his brothers hyperlink to the video we posted? (their first in four years!), finishing up their fifth album, and planning a summer tour, the singer is spending his free time mentoring real teens—like you!
In fact, you can enter for a chance to be mentored by the 22-year-old JoBro by creating a video around the statement “One Day I’ll…” If you’re selected, he’ll help you make your dreams a reality. Pretty cool, right?
We caught up with Joe to hear about his dreams, mentors, and best advice for breaking into the industry.
If you could spend one whole day doing anything, what would it be?
Go on an adventure with Sir Richard Branson
What do you dream of doing one day?While I’ve certainly achieved a lot of my dreams, one dream I still have is to one day win a Grammy Award with my brothers. I would also love to perform at the Grammys again.
Who inspired you as a kid?
I have always been inspired by my dad, both as a kid and now. He has always encouraged me and my dreams, not only musically, but also overall. He’s a great person to go to for advice.
You’re a mentor for Acuvue. What’s your best advice for teens with big dreams?
Practice makes perfect! I know it sounds cliché, but it’s really true. Also, you can never do enough. Personally, my brothers and I always said yes to any opportunity that came our way and any chance to perform, and we always practiced and tried to get better to help us reach our dreams.
What are your style essentials?
Boots. Flat brim hat. Backpack.
The new song is great. How would you describe the sound of the next album?I’m really excited for our fans to hear the next album, which we’ve been working on for the last year. We had our hand in writing all of the music, and Nick produced the whole album. I like it when people are able to come up with their own personal feelings about the new music, but what I can say is that we incorporated a lot of instruments on this new album and that there is a lot of range. Some songs are more rock, others are a bit more broken down.
What else are you working on right now?Besides being a mentor for the Acuvue® 1-Day Contest, my main focus is on the band and releasing the new music we’ve worked so hard on. I’m also really looking forward to getting back on the road—we start our North American tour, which is being presented by Huawei, on July 10th in Chicago, and will perform in over 25 cities. Tickets are on sale now—you can find more information on jonasbrothers.com!
