Here's her latest IMterview with The-Seth:
The-Seth: Alexz? Hi, it's Seth from The N.
-Alexz-: hi seth
The-Seth: Are you ready to do this?
-Alexz-: Ya! I've never done this before...
-Alexz-: Not too sure what I do
The-Seth: Piece of cake. Just like a regular interview, except typing instead of talking.
-Alexz-: Ok, cool!
-Alexz-: So, should I grab Alexz?
-Alexz-: just joking...
The-Seth: You got me
The-Seth: So, you're out west somewhere?
-Alexz-: Vancouver, BC
The-Seth: That's where you're from, right?
-Alexz-: Born and raised
The-Seth: So are you taking a break at home, or are you working? (I mean in general, not right this minute.)
-Alexz-: I had a break over Christmas, and I'm off to Maui with the family for 2 weeks. Then I'm back at work. I'll be working in LA on my record!
The-Seth: Awesome. Will you be recording? Do you have the songs all written?
-Alexz-: I have about 10 solid songs finished. I'll be writing in LA and recording.
-Alexz-: My brother and I write the music
The-Seth: Wow. 10 songs. That's great. Did you write any of the songs in the new season of Instant Star?
-Alexz-: Nope. I was too busy filming, and working on my own stuff for my record. My brother, Brendan Johnson wrote a song from season 2 though. "Another Thin Line".
The-Seth: How do you feel the music in the new season compares to last season (just in terms of feel)? Same kind of styles?
-Alexz-: Pretty much! Each song relates to an episode. It really is a compilation of a bunch of different styles, I find.
-Alexz-: Pop, rock.
The-Seth: What do you think the biggest difference is between season 1 and 2 (other than the music)?
-Alexz-: It's an older show this season. Jude's growing up. She's making mistakes and learning every episode.
-Alexz-: More edge, a lot of drama, and cute boys!! More cute boys!!!
-Alexz-: Jude has a band this season, as well. The Spiederman Mind Explosion.
The-Seth: Right; I chatted with Tyler the other day. And you guys played together for a concert special, right?
-Alexz-: Ya! That was a blast
The-Seth: So what can you tell me?
-Alexz-: We shot that in Toronto.
The-Seth: So you guys played stuff from the new season?
-Alexz-: Yup! The cast was there too!
-Alexz-: I got to perform "Skin" from season 1 with my brother on guitar. We wrote that song together
The-Seth: Had you played together onstage before?
-Alexz-: Ya, we've played in NY
-Alexz-: When it comes to "my music" Brendan is a huge part of my sound, and will be working with me in LA on my record. We're sort of a team.
-Alexz-: He's a producer
The-Seth: Is he your older or younger brother?
-Alexz-: Older. Bren's 23
-Alexz-: I'm one of six. Right in the middle of 10 kids. 6 brothers and 3 sisters - from the same mom and dad.
The-Seth: Wow.
-Alexz-: i mean, sorry - not one of 6. I'm #6.
-Alexz-: lol
-Alexz-: ya!
-Alexz-: I think that's why I love to perform? lol
The-Seth: So how was that growing up? Were you always wishing for fewer siblings, or more? I could imagine it going either way.
-Alexz-: At times I had to get away and lock myself in the closet and write. But, most of the time I loved it! I couldn't imagine not having so many sibs. I have my own baseball team back at home. I carry that with me, ya know?
The-Seth: Totally. Also plenty of people to fill up a club when you're just starting to perform...
-Alexz-: I can fill a stadium with relatives. Let's not repeat that, though. lol!
The-Seth: You said that you didn't have time to write songs for the new season. is it hard to balance music and acting?
-Alexz-: At times. But, music always comes first.
-Alexz-: It's my first passion.
-Alexz-: Now, I get to focus on my record !
The-Seth: Right! So Instant Star was a pretty big hit. It changed a lot for you, I'm sure. How's your experience of fame different from Jude's?
-Alexz-: Well, I'm not as famous? lol. Jude wins a contest, I'm slowly chipping away at making a record, and taking time to write the songs. Its just a different thing from Jude.
-Alexz-: Jude battles with GMajor every episode and is trying to find her sound.
The-Seth: How much of Jude is there in you, and vice-versa?
-Alexz-: Jude is kind of me a few years ago. We differ in a lot of ways though. Different kinds of music inspires her, and different events inspires her to write.
-Alexz-: At the same time, Jude is like any other 16 year old girl with the same insecurities and lessons to learn..
-Alexz-: about life, love, family...the industry!
The-Seth: Right.
The-Seth: So I asked Tyler what the one thing I should ask YOU is, and he said:
The-Seth: "ask her if she wants to be as big as Madonna."
-Alexz-: Lol
-Alexz-: funny guy
The-Seth: So do you?
-Alexz-: I wanna be bigger then madonna, lol
-Alexz-: not really though
-Alexz-: I don't need to be famous...i just want to make great music
The-Seth: Very cool.
The-Seth: Okay, I'll let you go.
The-Seth: Thanks so much for doing this.
The-Seth: Good luck with the record!
-Alexz-: No problem! Thank you!
