Can you start by telling us alittle about you?
Hey guys ! My name is Dallas Lovato. Im a singer, dancer, actress, and model. I'm living in Texas right now, but I plan on moving to California soon. Im a pretty fun girl just looking to make her mark in the industry :).
When and how did you get started singing?
I started having a love for music when I was about 3. My mom was a singer and opened up for major country artists, such as Reba McEntyre and George Strait. My first memories are being in the tour bus and watching my mom light up the stage. I knew then that I wanted to follow in her footsteps and persue a music career as well.
Do you write your own songs?
I write alot of my music, but I really like to co-write because I love to mix ideas and see other people's creative input.
Which one of your songs is your favorite so far and why?
I really like my song called "Fly Me Away" because its a fun, sexy, flirty song that I can totally see me and my girls dancing to at a club.
Do you have any albulms out yet? If so tell us alittle about it/them!
I'm finishing up my first album right now. Its going to be a mix of R&B, Pop, and a hint of rock. I can't wait !
Who are some of your musical influences?
My first musical influence is my mom. She taught me alot about the business, at a very young age and I'm very thankful! Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion also play a big part in my musical style. They are very talented, very driven girls.
You dance and model also right? Tell us about both of those!
Yes I do! I have been in dance since the young age of 3 and I started modeling when I signed with my first agent at 13. I just love everything that has to do with the entertainment industry. So dance and modeling play a big role in what I do.
Do you enjoy writing, recording, or performing better? Why?
Oh deffinetly performing! Being able to stand on the stage after you sing and dance your butt off, look out, and see thousands of people cheering for you, has to be the best feeling in the whole world!
What do you do to prepare for a show?
Well I spend about 10 hours a day working on my vocals, dancing, writing, working out, and making sure that I eat right. I also make sure I have a really cute outfit, thats my favorite part.. haha!
Do you get nervous before performing?
I wouldnt call it nerves, but I do get a huge adrenaline rush! My heart starts beating really fast and I can't wait to hit the stage!
Tell us alittle about your style?
My style is pretty different. I wear what I like and what fits me, not just whats "hot" at the moment. Its kindof like hot topic meets high fashion.
Who are some of your favorite actors/actresess?
My favorite actresses are Rachel McAdams, Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts, and Jennifer Aniston. My favorite actors are Wintworth Miller, Leonardo Dicaprio, And I recently had the pleasure of working with my all time favorite actor Fred Savage. He directed a Disney Pilot called "The Amazing O'Malleys" where I played a popular cheerleader named Rachel. It was so much fun!
If you were giving one piece of advice to aspiring singers what would it be?
I would say just be yourself and don't let the business discourage you. Stand up for what makes you well..YOU! Work hard and dedicate your life to getting where you want, and if you do accomplish your goals, ALWAYS be HUMBLE!
