Jesse McCarntney: Zooey Mag Feature!

Jesse McCartney rocks the studious look in this new feature from the Fall 2013 issue of Zooey Magazine.

The 26-year-old actor/singer opened up about the first song he ever wrote, juggling two careers and his EP plans. Check it:

On his music: “I plan on releasing an EP before an album, just because it’s been a long time since the fans have had any new music from me. Now that I’m an independent artist, I can release anything whenever I want. The musical vibe is kind of a throwback. I’ve been getting a lot of inspiration from early Motown, disco, Michael Jackson and Prince. This vibe comes quite naturally to me. I grew up with it.”


On the first song he ever wrote: “I’m not ashamed to say the first song I ever wrote was pretty bad. It’s a craft that takes years to learn, so I don’t feel bad about it. At the time, I thought it was an awesome song, of course. Ha!”

On balancing two careers: “I tend to focus on one at a time. It’s not always easy to try and keep a balance of both, but I think I’m in a really good place right now. I just finished a season of Army Wives and went straight into the studio to record this EP. Now that I’m finished with the EP, I’m going on the road, so I’m keeping the ball rolling.”
