Not everything has to be a couples' event.
To put my name on a track as a solo artist was a big deal to me. There was no band to act as a buffer.
When I first went from a band situation to a solo situation, it was quite an adjustment to make. But after having done it for a number of years, it really feels good out there.
A lot of times when teams break up, it's to do better as singles competitors than they're doing as a group.
Coming out with records when you're in a big, successful group that plays stadiums, that's scary to come out by yourself.
My band got signed in high school when I was 16, and we all dropped out of high school and went on tour. Then I quit the band because I was the manager, and I was doing everything, so I went solo.
I really wasn't planning on being a solo artist.
I wish I started out as a solo artist.
The biggest challenge was the whole learning curve of being solo artist. I've been in bands for so long that being a solo artist was completely new thing.
I've actually thought very little about solo work up until just very recently.
I actually did not have a date to my prom. I ended up taking a friend.
Everybody was telling me I should just stand alone on my first project, and I started to see what they were saying.
