Conrad just stopped by TWIST's offices! We got the inside scoop on his EP Takeoff, his musical influences and what he's up to next! Check out our exclusive convo below!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Can you tell us about your EP Takeoff?
CONRAD: Takeoff is my first EP, I've had two singles off of it so far, but it was kind of my first experience in the music industry.

TWIST: Is there a story behind the title?
C: Well, I'm from like a really small town in California, so it was my whole experience of moving from my hometown to the big city to get into the music business. Everyone thinks you're totally crazy for going to try that. So it's just my life -- transitioning and becoming something other than a small town kid.

TWIST: Can you tell us more about your single "Romeo" and the story behind it?
C: "Romeo" is my second single now. I got to go and shoot the video in my hometown! The song is about a relationship that you're not really supposed to be having, so that's the back-story.

TWIST: Were you in one of those relationships?
C: Of course! I mean, the music's about my life!

TWIST: What would you say is your favorite track off of the EP?
C: They're all fun, but I think "Safe Here Now." It's a ballad that I wrote for my friend Andrea, who lost her father to cancer when we were growing up. It's a song that people can listen to and get inspiration from.

TWIST: Which songs would TWIST readers love the best?
C: They'd definitely love "Drop Dead Gorgeous," they'd love "Romeo" and they'd probably like "Takeoff!"

TWIST: Why would they love them?
C: They're just fun, upbeat songs you can jam to!

TWIST: You created your own record label. Can you tell us more about how you got your start in music?
C: I moved to LA because I was working with an indie label but things weren't really going anywhere. I wanted to make music but I just didn't know how to get there. I like to live by the idea that if you can't get an opportunity, you make it. So I worked a bunch and saved up the money, got the songs done, put the record label together, released Takeoff, and then I found a manager.

TWIST: Where did you work during that time?
C: I worked in an ice cream store and we also did fairs. We'd run around and we'd serve ice cream, but then sometimes I'd do shows at the fairs. I'd literally do the Hannah Montana thing where I'd change my clothes really quickly, run over to the stage, do a show and run back and look totally different!

TWIST: Who are your musical influences?
C: I grew up on like 'NSync and Backstreet Boys, so that would have to be an influence. There's also a band called The Afters -- they're amazing and they're one of my influences.

TWIST: What's up next for you?
C: I have a new single coming out soon and I'm going to shoot a new music video for it! I'm also working on a new album that includes a couple new versions of the songs off the last EP.

TWIST: When will the album come out?
C: We are finishing up the record now, so it will probably be in the early spring.

TWIST: Thanks for chatting with us!
C: Thanks!

TWIST Exclusive: TWIST Chats with E.B.!

E.B.-What-I-Wanna-Do.jpg

TWIST just got off the phone with E.B.! She dished about her new song, "What I Wanna Do," her musical influences, and what's next for her! Check out our exclusive convo below!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: How would you describe your sound?
E.B.: It is young; it's fun; it's colorful; it's vibrant; it's rebellious! It's definitely pop rock. It's definitely something that has an urban influence. If Avril Lavigne and Kanye West had a baby, it would be E.B. It's definitely who I am.

TWIST: Can you tell us about your new song, "What I Wanna Do"?
E.B.: I thought it was a great breakout record for me. It's fun, and it's about things that young girls go through -- the breakups, the boyfriends. It's about my boyfriend really not paying attention to me, and me kinda getting fed up with it. He doesn't really know much about me and I'm trying to figure out why we're even together. So I just tell him, 'You know what? I'm going to do whatever I wanna do.'

TWIST: Why should TWIST readers check out your music?
E.B.: I think they'll really enjoy it. It's feel good music. I think my music is honestly for everyone. I'm not just for one age, one race, one anything. It's definitely fun and it's catchy.

TWIST: Who would you say your musical influences are?
E.B.: The biggest musical influences for me are definitely Avril Lavigne and Kanye West.

TWIST: Your dad was a famous rapper. Does any of his music influence you or your music?
E.B.: Not his music, no. Just him -- him being a visionary, him being an artist, him speaking about what he wanted to speak about, not holding back, and all of that. So not his actual records, but him as a whole.

TWIST: What's next for you?
E.B.: Definitely working on the album. I don't have a set date for the album, but I'm definitely gonna be releasing a couple more singles as well as videos with them. And maybe get on tour.

TWIST: Thanks for talking to us!
E.B.: Thank you!

TWIST just got off the phone with Alex Shipp, who plays a new character in this season of House of Anubis! She dished the deets on the new season, her character K.T. Rush, and what's next for her! Check out our exclusive convo below, and make sure to tune in to House of Anubis on Nickelodeon tomorrow!

XOXO,
TWIST

TWIST: Tell us about season three of House of Anubis!
Alex Shipp: We're dealing with a lot of new characters. There's a new teacher and a really great story line. Let's just say it is going to be very exciting.

TWIST: What should TWIST readers look forward to in the new season?
AS: There's a lot of love and missed connections and spooky vibes going on, and a lot of ancient curses that are going to be unleashed.

TWIST: Can you tell us more about your character, K.T. Rush?
AS: She's very spunky. I fell in love with her when I first auditioned because she reminded me of myself so much. She's very American and very up front with her feelings and sassy. But she's also got a really great, sweet side to her. She came to Anubis to try and help the world. She came to a completely different country to continue their mission.

TWIST: How else are you similar or different to her?
AS: Well, I've never had a mission before, but she's very strong-willed, which I can relate to a lot. I too moved to a completely new country to do this job. I guess you could say I was on my own little House of Anubis mission!

TWIST: Any funny memories from the set?
AS: I work a lot with Burkely Duffield, who plays Eddie. We have the goofiest experiences on set. We'll be running lines or going through a scene, and we'll just break into a dance routine of some sort. We have fun little things like that happen all the time.

TWIST: Does the cast ever prank each other?
AS: All the time! We like to scare each other, because the sets are actually pretty spooky once you get into them. So, we'll be hiding around the corner and jump out, or we'll just leave goofy props hanging around.

TWIST: What's next for you?
AS: After Anubis wraps season three, I'm going to head back to L.A. and keep auditioning, see my friends and family and then get ready for whatever comes!
