I’m stuffing cotton in my ears as I type to protect them from the high-pitched squeals from fangirls far and wide… Nick Jonas shows off his muscles on the cover of the Spring 2010 issue of VMAN magazine. But the interview makes it clear that he’s no tough guy. Here are some highlights.
On the effect he wants his music to have on fans:
“I just prefer to make people happy with my music. I prefer to see a smile on someone’s face after I sing a song,”
On the more serious side of his new album, Who I Am:
“There are songs that aren’t necessarily happy songs. They more make you think. That’s intriguing to me, just as a beautiful but sad movie might be. With the record, with the art, I do want to express myself fully; express the thoughts and stories and ideas that I have, And I think on this record I did the best job I could with that.”
On his musical influences:
“My real musical discovery started when I was 10 with Stevie Wonder and the Jackson 5, and acts that I connected with because they were young when they were doing it, like me. Then I kind of came into my own a couple of years later, I found new artists that shaped my musical landscape. For instance, Kings of Leon played a big part in that.”
