I wrote this at work instead of working soooo technically today I was a professional writer. I don't own Glee or anything else mentioned. ENJOY.
Last week I was lucky enough to catch up with up and coming singer song writer Blaine Anderson.
Blaine thanks for sitting and talking with us today.
No problem, it's my pleasure.
So how does it feel to have recording artists wanting you to write songs for them?
Wow! Honestly it's surreal. I still see myself as a teenager in Ohio playing the piano and writing furiously in my dog eared notebook. It's surreal but an honour.
So you're considering that as an option?
Absolutely, I mean some of the songs I have written with particular artists in mind but I mainly write for my own voice and style. Kurt [Hummel] doesn't even know this but I have written some songs that I would love him to sing.
Let's talk about Kurt for a while.
Lets.
Do you think that having two artists in your relationship makes it stressful?
I don't think so. There are stresses in all relationships. Kurt and I are honest with each other, that helps. Finn [Hudson] is Kurt's step brother and Rachel [Berry] is Finns fiancée so we are used to having artists around and we're used to things getting a little stressful with the crazy hours we all work.
What's Kurt working on at the moment?
He is being brilliant on Broadway as Link in Hairspray. He's 3 weeks into a 6 month season.
How many times have you seen the show?
(Laughs) Six.
Wow you're a supportive boyfriend.
Thanks. Kurt is breathtaking on that stage. Every time I see him up there I catch something that I missed the last time I saw it. It's sublime. They whole show is fantastic.
Do you think you'll go again?
Oh I have no doubt.
How long have you and Kurt been together?
Almost seven years. We met in high school.
So Kurt's your high school sweetheart?
Kurt's my everything.
Did you come across prejudice being out gay teens?
I did yeah. Being a teenager is hard for everyone but as a gay teen it was a times pure hell. I transferred to a school with a zero tolerance for bullying for a while and then I transferred to the same school as Kurt; one of the best things I ever did.
You mentioned Finn Hudson before how's your project with him going?
It's great. People assume that Finn's a drummer and that's it because that's all they know and he's a good drummer but he also has a great singing voice and he writes a pretty good song too. Finn's family and I love working with him. His album will be really simple, nothing flashy but it will be sublime.
So that's it. I have this policy where I post everything I write no matter how lame. That's the only way this is up here. May do another chapter with Kurt giving and interview.
