Life at Us

Today was pretty awesome.

I did a phone interview with singer/songwriter/producer Kevin Rudolf. He is most known for his song "Let It Rock":



His new single "I Made It" is out right now (and I am loving it, by the way).



Kevin's new album is coming out this month, so my interview coincided with this new release of his. I got to ask him all sorts of questions on his music, growing up in NY, songwriting, his collaborations with Lil Wayne, Three6 Mafia, Jay Sean, Flo Rida, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield and more. He couldn't have been more down to earth and nice. He made me feel right at home and calmed my nerves a bit, though he had no idea (well, at least I hope not) that he was my first celeb interview! It was much, much different than interviewing with the Missourian or Vox. It's nice because these people are used to the media and the press, so they know how they need to talk and actually want to talk to you (most of the time). At the Missourian or Vox, sometimes I felt I had to MAKE people talk to me, which wasn't very delightful on either of our parts.

Overall, it was a successful first interview at Us. And I am sure there will be many more to come :)

Next week, I will also be doing my first red carpet event with some ladies from the Real Housewives of NYC. I am just so lucky to be able to do all of this! But more to come on that a little later.

Lots of love,
