Just a few nights ago, I grabbed my flip cam and my baby sister (i needed someone to sip martinis with me after ;-)) then headed to downtown Atlanta to meet up with Bobby V in the studio for an interview. If you haven’t read my last blog post about Bobby V, check out “Bobby V to release “Fly on the Wall” in March 2011, interview coming soon!“). He’s got a new album coming out on March 22, 2010 entitled “Fly on the Wall.” In the interview, we talked about:
- his upcoming album
- the next video shoot for Bobby V’s cover of Bobby B’s (that’s Bobby Brown, lol) of “Rock Wit’cha” (read Rap-Up.com article “New music premiere: Bobby V – ‘Rock Wit’cha’“)
- love and what women want
- his early singing days with the group Mista (download their self titled debut album on iTunes or Amazon)
- being rejected by Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Paula Abdul when trying out for season 1 of “American Idol” (that was the year Kelly Clarkson won)
- and how he used to swing a mean bat on Clark Atlanta University‘s baseball team where he also earned a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications in 2003 (you go boy! 😎 ).
