Cody Simpson Discusses His Angels, Being A Role Model In Twitter Q&A

Cody Simpson Twitter Q&A

In a recent episode of The Paradise Series, answered some questions from his fans via Twitter while he was in Dublin, Ireland. The Australian pop star talks about the impact he has had on fans, how he would comfort a girl, the last place he shopped at, the three things he loves about his fans, tour bus insider secrets, and more.

“It was and it is very difficult for me to get a grasp on that, as I am still so young and I’m a kid and I myself am still learning and I’m still growing up,” Simpson said about the influence he has on his fans. “When I came into this business I was only 13 and I barely realized what it meant to leave my home country and leave Australia, let alone be a role model for people. As I’ve been doing this for a little while, I’ve come to realize the responsibility that I have to be that role model and to inspire others and inspire other kids and help them stand up for what they believe in, stand up to bullying, be better friends and people in general. I take that responsibility very seriously.”

Asked the top 3 things he loves about his “Angels”, Cody said, “I would have to say the dedication, first of all. They’re always there, constantly on Twitter, Facebook, voting and everything. They’re always at the shows. The enthusiasm, insanely enthusiastic, screaming and crying. They know every single word to every single one of my songs, which I love. Also, the fact that I really wouldn’t be here without them. I wouldn’t be here without you guys. You guys have been there for me. Whether you’re a new fan or you’ve been there from the beginning, I love you guys and I you guys are the reason I’m not in a classroom right now back in Australia taking tests, because that honestly wasn’t my favorite thing to do. I get to make music every single day because of you guys.”

Sharing his most recent shopping story, Cody said, “I was shopping in Dublin about two days ago, and I went into Topman and a bunch of girls found out I was in there and the next thing you know I had bought my clothes and we come out and there’s like hundreds of girls waiting outside the story and I don’t think I’ll be allowed at Topman again, we had to evacuate.”

Episode four of ’s ‘The Paradise Series’ features the Australian pop singer getting ready for the UK leg of his Paradise tour and meeting with his stylist David Royer to pick out some clothing.

“We’re back in LA after the U.S. tour and I’m working on the new outfit for the tour over in Europe. I’ve got my stylist Dave here and we put a really cool look together,” Cody explained. “When I moved over here first I started really getting into fashion, designers and things like that. It’s really cool to be able to wear different designers on stage and stuff. Europe is a very fashionable place. I have shows all over the place and I want to make sure I look as fashionable as I can when I’m over there on stage. I’m pretty excited.”

Cody Simpson talks clothes“We have a really cool look we put together. We’ve got this really cool denim jacket which we’re gonna put cuffs and metallic strips on, and this awesome metallic silver shirt which we’re gonna cut the sleeves off and it’s gonna be a metallic silver tank, and some cool white pants, and some shoes that look like space shoes, and they have no laces on them. If I kick too hard, the crowd is gonna end up with one of my shoes.”

Royer said about styling the pop star, “Cody’s got a great style and he’s fun to work with. He’s super playful, he’s really adventurous and as he grows as an artist, I really respect him because he’s growing not just through his music but through his fashion and his style, and he puts it out there and it’s becoming sort of an integral part of it, and it’s amazing. He has no problem playing. He loves playing, he runs off, gets excited, puts on his t-shirt, dances around in his underwear and so it’s that thing that you want to see in an artist. You love it when they get excited about what you’re bringing for them.”

Cody Simpson Previews New Album & New Song ‘Neck Kisses’

Cody Simpson teeth

Episode 5 of ’s ‘The Paradise Series’ features the Australian pop singer taking fans in the studio in Los Angeles, working on the follow-up to his debut album ‘Paradise’. Cody gave viewers a glimpse of a typical day in the studio as he records music, including a new song called ‘Neck Kisses’.

“A typical day for me, while I’m recording a new album, I usually do a couple of hours of school in the morning, and then I’ll try to get here like 12 or 1 and as soon as I get here, I’m literally in here, down to business, listening to the song I’m going to record or starting to write a new song. I always bring my skateboard to the studio actually and I like to keep it a little bit fun and ride around the studio.”

Cody Simpson studio“I’m thinking of calling the album ‘Paradise Part 2′, as it feels like a continuation of the first album ‘Paradise’, just a little bit more mature because I’m always growing and I want my music to be able to do that with me. You’ll still hear a lot of that cool uptempo dance stuff as well as some awesome, chill guitar based stuff too. I’m really excited and I feel like this is gonna be the best project yet. I’m pretty stoked.”

“My song that I’m recording at the moment is a song I wrote on tour called ‘Neck Kisses’. It’s probably the most mature song that I’ve written to date. It’s a little bit sexy but it’s something that I think my fans will really like. It’s a little more vibey, a little more mature than the stuff I’ve done in the past. I love experimenting with new things and the studio is a really a place for me to be creative and be as artistic as I want to be and just try new things and if they work then that’s awesome, but if they don’t, start from scratch and write a new one.”

I met this old guy named Dick who had literally been working there for 50 years, his whole life. Obviously I’m a guitar enthusiast and I love playing guitars. I play them every day on the stage. I thought I knew a lot about guitars but I realized that I knew very little when I went there today.”

On his work with DoSomething.org, Cody said, “One of my New Year’s resolutions last year was to be able to be more charitable and do more for charity and stuff like that, and I’ve really accomplished that this year. I’ve done a lot for DoSomething.org and I’ve done a lot for Defeat the Label, anti-bullying, stuff like that. I wanted to do as much as I could to help out in any way I can and use my powers for good.”

Cody Simpson: I’m Trying To Be Like Justin Timberlake

Cody Simpson does an interview during a Hallmark Text Brands meet and greet with fans, talking about his admiration for Justin Timberlake, advice he's gotten from his parents and how he can't really go out in public anymore without getting recognizedWhen stopped in Wheaton, Illinois to promote Hallmark Text Bands and meet fans, the Australian pop singer took time out to talk with Chicago Parent teen interviewers, Emma DeCarlo and Arlee O’Shaughnessy. Simpson said while he misses home sometimes, considering what he gets to do, he’s not complaining. He also talked about his music idols, advice his parents have given him, getting noticed when out in public, the best thing a fan has done for him, and wrapped up with a rapid fire of some of his preferences.

On his music idols, Cody said, “I’ll start with Justin Timberlake, just as an entertainer he’s someone I’m trying to work real hard to be like as just an all around entertainer, as a dancer, he just kind of does it all, and he’s amazing at it. He has this kind of presence and class about him that I definitely admire. As far as musically, I love artists like Jack Johnson, he influences that beach kind of music I make. John Mayer definitely is another one that inspired a lot of that kind of stuff.”

Talking about the best advice his parents have given him, Cody said, “Just to treat others the way that you want to be treated. Obviously most parents say that to their kids, but I think it’s important to always make sure you’re treating everyone with respect the best I can. You can get caught up in the whole thing but I think it’s important to keep my feet on the ground.”

Asked if he can go out in public without getting noticed by fans, Cody said, “It’s hard to be able to just go to the mall. I can’t really do that anymore. I could six months ago, but now I can’t really go to the mall or go hang out with friends and stuff. Even if I go surfing. I’ll go out surfing with my mates and they’d say, ‘Oh, my sister knows you’. I mean it’s all one big package, when you’re doing music, I’ve got to be prepared for that and I definitely am. It kind of all just comes with it, but it’s amazing. It’s one big roller coaster and it’s one big journey.”
