Twitterview "˜Replay' with Music Man Iyaz

Tweet

We had such a good time with James Maslow that YH asked me to Twitterview a bright new star on the music scene, Iyaz!

Discovered by Sean Kingston via mySpace (myspace.com/iyaz), Iyaz is popping off with reggae-infused R&B melodies inspired by "island shorties, wireless romance, and the anguish of unrequited love." The 22-year-old singer/songwriter/rapper is hitting the charts with his single, Replay.

I Tweeted him while he had some down time at the studio:

Q? What are you working on in the studio today?
IYAZ: DOING INTERVIEWS AT MTV AND PHONERS AT WARNER BROTHERS!

Cool...! If you could work in the studio with any artist, who would it be?
GREEN DAY, I'M A BIG FAN!

What's in your iPod right now?
MILEY CYRUS, GREEN DAY, SEAN KINGSTON, LIL WAYNE,

Many of your songs are about relationships, are you a romantic?
HAHA I'D SAY I CAN HANDLE MYSELF JUST ENOUGH LOL

What is some of the best advice you've ever gotten?
ALWAYS STAY POSITIVE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO, TRY TO PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD!

Words to live by! Likewise, do you have any advice for all those starving artists out there trying to make their mark?
BE YOURSELF, AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE INTERNET AND PROMOTE YOUR CRAFT EVERYWHERE! DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!

Any hidden talents, like tap dancing or card tricks? FYI...I can pick things up with my feet. hahaha...
HAHAH THAT WAS TMI LOL....UMM NOT THAT I KNOW OF I'M PRETTY AVERAGE "" I LIKE TO RACE BIKES
