New Music: Meet Hunter Hayes

His debut single is in our Top 3o.  He has a song in the soundtrack to the “Footloose” movie.  And his debut CD will be released this Tuesday, October 11th.  Hunter Hayes is a 20-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Louisiana.  We caught up with him on the red carpet of the “Footloose” premiere:

The album will be released October 11th.  How do you feel? Stoked!  I’m stoked.  I worked on this record for 6 months and I’ve been writing this record for my entire life.  They say you prepapre your entire life for your first record.  I did that, I lived my first record.  I’m going to have to check it out in a store to believe it.

You play every instrument on this album.  Explain: I followed a process out of necessity from doing my songwriting demos, which is I did them myself.  I asked for studio gear for Christmas, and I never came out of my room after that.  So we followed that same process in making the record.

Talk about touring with Taylor Swift: Touring with Taylor was the experience of a lifetime.  It was a stunning thing to watch.  The girl puts on a show!  I’m a big fan.
