Touring around the world & things like that & I was starting to write & um figure out myself & find myself in a way. It’s been a exp…well that’s how it’s been for me so…

- Yeah. I wanna definitly do both

Cubby
- So do you have time for a personal life? Or are you pretty much doin your thing & BSB stuff & then your thing

Things that ya know when your in a group you have to kind of uh ya know give a little and take a little. It’s more…its not all you ya know? & that’s what makes a group. But when its yourself it’s like you can almost just throw everyhting out onto the table & just see how its gonna be. It’s kind of…very experimental & that was the fun part cuz I uh ya know I’ve always been very big…rock influenced..all my life. New rock & roll & old rock & roll

Girl
- Yeah

Nick
- And so I wanted to definitly add that element to the music like uh pop ya know to the pop and make like a pop/rock type element But it’s a little new a little different & fresh so…but soo its really..been really cool to create & just kinda come up with something different
