INTERVIEW: Blake Lewis (part 1)
October 8th, 2009 by travis hay
Earlier this week I sat down and chatted with American Idol Season Six runner-up Blake Lewis. It was the release date of his second record "Heartbreak On Vinyl" and we talked about his new dancefloor-friendly album, his friendships with members of the local hip hop community, his tour plans, how he almost lost his voice (the guy was bleeding from his vocal chords) and more.
In full disclosure, I worked with Blake at Circuit City about 10 years ago where we sold home audio equipment ("I went from selling home audio to selling my own audio," Blake told me.). There is passing reference to our speaker-slinging days throughout the interview. Below is the first part of the interview. The second half will be posted next week along with some additional words about Blake.
