Demi Lovato Visits Kenya

“Recently I brought a group of my closest friends back to Kenya,” Demi added. “I love coming here because it’s a place that puts everything into perspective.

When asked if Chris had ever offered him advice, Harry said, “He’s good at telling you to take care of yourself. He’s very make sure you’re alright. He’s very zen, isn’t he. I think he’s a pretty wonderful man.”

Ased by Sheeran about the process making his debut album, Harry responded, “I started the album - I had to stop in the middle of the year when the movie happened - so I did three weeks in February last year, and then stopped for about five months. Then I came back to it in July, and did that until now. I finished writing in December.” He said getting away from the project for those months was a positive. “For a while before, all I thought about was stressing about what it was going to be. It gave me a chance to completely step away from it and have a real break. Also, by the end of the movie because we were swimming so much, I was thinking I just want to write songs in the studio.”

Ed Sheeran singerEd Sheeran tells Seven’s Sunday Night that his decision to take time off from his hectic schedule was due to being in poor condition physically and emotionally. “I was like, at the unhealthiest I have ever been. Hair falling out, just chunky, boozing… like, it wasn’t great,” Sheeran confessed. “I just needed to find some balance again and you need to appreciate what you. I would be getting up on stage and being like, ‘Oh I need to get off it’, and now I don’t want to stop touring. Now I really appreciate it, I have found a way to balance it and make it do-able, but that is definitely why I took a year off.” Watch the interview at Yahoo!7.

Zara Larsson Talks Growth & Being On Stage

Being Zara LarssonZara Larsson revealed how she’s grown as an artist and person, how she feels performing on stage, and more in VEVO Lift’s Being Zara Larsson.

“Growing as an artist and as a person is kind of the same thing,” Zara explained. “Mom told me that the brain is fully developed at the age of 25, so I’ve got seven more years, but hopefully my art and my songs and what I do will develop always.”

Zara added, “I feel very powerful being on stage, but also the stage is a very vulnerable place, because everybody is watching you. It’s close to happiness. It’s close to being emotional. It especially depends on the songs you sing. It could be a really sad song about my boyfriend leaving me for another girl, or it could be happy song about how I’m sassy, I don’t need you.”
