We all remember Billy Gilman
from back in 2000 when his song “One Voice” was a top 20 hit on the
Billboard Country Music Charts. The Rhode Island native can be found in the
Guinness Book Of World Records for the youngest singer to reach No.1 on the top
country album chart. His latest song “The Choice” features 18 other
country artists including Alan Jackson,
Reba McEntire
and Leann Rimes.
The song is about giving to those who are needy, and each song downloaded will
buy 1 pair of shoes for children in need. Gilman has a big voice but an even
bigger heart. We caught up with him for our 10 random questions, and this is
what he had to say:
1. How have
you changed or grown since we first heard you at 11 years old singing “One
Voice?”
I think between the ages of 12
and the age I am now, which is 24, everyone makes those natural leaps in
maturity .I got to see a lot of the world at a very young age, and dealt with
more adults in a business sense, so i think I matured at a pretty young age.
But also, I really have become more chill. I was always a hyper and very
animated kid. Kind of embarrassing when I look back lol.
2. What is
your favorite song that you’ve written?
I’m proud of them all but of
course certain ones stand out. Like The Choice. I’m very proud of that song and
the mission it supports.
3. What
other artists do you currently listen to?
Just downloaded The Lumineer’s
new record. It’s great.
4. Where is
your favorite place to perform?
I think The Grand Ole Opry.
There’s something spiritual about it.
5. Any new
projects in the works?
I have some songs that I am
really proud of that will hopefully be heard in early 2013 keep your fingers
crossed. At the end of the day I have to believe that the people and companies
that release my new music are releasing it because they see the growth and they
see the future. Not just a fast dollar. That’s hard to find.
6. Where is
your favorite place to eat?
I love mom and pop kind of places
and home cooked food. I also like to cook so I stay home. In RI I love West
Bakery and in Nashville I love Mafiosso’s — I love pizza that’s good.
7. If you
could duet with any female artist who would it be?
There’s a few I think would be
cool to sing with. I have always liked Allison Krauss’ voice.
8. If you
could have a superpower what would you pick?
To find one good politician.
9. Do you
consider yourself trendy? Do you follow clothing trends?
Some people say I am, but I don’t
feel I am nor try to be. I don’t follow anything — I just put on what I like
..lol
10. Is there
anything you would like your fans to know?
Well if you follow me on Twitter
you will know in a short amount of time that I am very thankful for my fans and
their support and also that I’m just a normal guy trying to follow his dream
that’s about it. Oh and that I do wear underwear and do use deodorant …that’s
it. Oh…and I love coffee..ok, that’s really it.
Translate nya coming soon ;)
