so first of all Demi what a delight you
are so adorable um I was amazed that you
have written so many songs how can you
be 16 and have written how many songs um
probably like over the like my whole
life i' probably written like probably
like 300 maybe they're not all good but
they're just you know I'll be like for
instance back in Texas I didn't have
anything else to do with my life
basically so I would just write songs
all the time like and I was home goldo
so I I just write songs and at the
guitar and piano all day basically so
wow so you have a tour coming out where
you'll be performing some of these songs
right tell me a little bit about that
I'm actually headlining my first
headliner tour so it's a huge step in my
career in my life and I'm so excited and
um I'll starts when it starts um in June
in June it actually um it starts soon
and I'm going to be performing songs
from my new album which I'm releasing in
July that I actually have not even
written the entire thing yet so but
it'll be good I'm like I'm excited I'm
taking my music in a different route
it's going to be how how's the route
going to be um the route normally I sing
rock music and um this last album was um
with a lot of attitude and everything
but this this album I'm focusing more on
just um I've grown up over the past year
and um I have a lot more to say so I
feel like this next album is going to
have a lot a lot more heart and soul in
it rather than anger okay and hold you I
can't imagine you being angry though I
don't understand the angry every
teenager goes through an angst I didn't
so I like hoping my children skip that
as well I can't I don't want to have Rec
I mean yeah I'm just kidding okay so it
was filled with teenage eggs then so
this new one might be a little bit
softer do you have a name for it yet do
you know or we don't have a name um you
know we're just going with the flow
right now okay the name of the tour do

starting in then um I'm pretty sure I'm
starting in Dallas my hometown yeah wow
and when you walk out in front of a
stadium like that or a crowd or a
theater or wherever it is you're
performing what's that first thing in
your stomach and in your heart it's like
oh my gosh don't
fall or you know just like don't pass
out like I get so nervous sometimes but
honestly you know it's it's just a
matter of having fun you know I used to
get so scared like to the point of Tears
whenever I was opening up for the Jonas
Brothers last summer and I realized you
put on a good show when you're just
having fun and you're trying new things
rather than being stressed about what
you're supposed to do um so you did and
you were in Camp Rock with them right so

the sunny um Sunny With The gy Sunny

that something that kind of guides your
life or do you try not to think about
that too much no you know what I think
about it just enough um I realize that
they they're the reason why I'm here and
there's nothing cuter than when a little
kid comes up to you and they have your
face on their shirt or they recite your
lyrics or they tell you that you're
pretty you know it's just things like
that that like completely make this all
worth it and that's what's that's what I
