Platinum in Indonesia!
Just got the word that “Hold On ‘Til The Night” went platinum in Indonesia! So amazing. Cannot wait to go over there for a proper tour with full-scale shows. I am really excited because I am redesigning my show from my last tour. It is going to be a little different. (; Another reason why I’m excited about redesigning the show is because it’s just not for Asia....

New Music
I have been in the recording studio a lot lately working on new music! I know I have said this many times, but I cannot wait for you all to hear it! I think it is some of my best work. My goals coming in, were to make something very universal and big; almost kinda worldly. After my trip to Asia, I was very inspired to make music not just for my US fans but for fans all across the world. So some of...
My Favorite New Band →
So as you all know…I listen to a lot of music! All the time, everywhere I go. I love finding new bands and new different types of music. One of my newest favorites is a DJ called Washed Out! He makes a very electronic but relaxing type of music that I love listening to in the car. You all should go check him out! Finding new music these days is very easy, but if you are unsure about how to...

Lately I have been in the studio a lot. I have been writing new songs! It has been a lot of fun because I have had the chance to work with many new songwriters and producers. We have been writing songs about so many different things! About California skies, being by someone’s side and even about being a peace loving hippie! The good thing about recording with new people is that you get to...

I just arrived in Dallas! I am super excited to be here because I am doing my first JCPenney in-store. I have been working with them to raise money for a charity called, “Pennies From Heaven.” For every “Hold On Til The Night” CD you buy at JCPenney, one dollar goes to the charity. The charity raises money for after school programs, like music classes and others! I am really excited to...
I am on my way to the studio to record a new song that I just wrote. Recording it for the first time. I love this song! It is about going on your own way and leaving the bad behind. This song is very special. I wrote it all myself- piano and vocal- so I am excited to see how it turns out! Maybe I’ll play it live sometime. (; I can’t wait for you all to hear it.

Driving to Philly right now. This is during the Hard Rock mini tour. I love these 2-3 hour drives around the east coast! It is refreshing and fun to just be able to sit in a car and relax. We always play really cool music when we are in the car. I love rocking to Coldplay and Amy Winehouse!
Just got off stage from my show in York, Pennsylvania. It was the first fair show I have ever headlined and it was one of the best! The turnout was insane! There were at least 1,500 people there.
When I was on stage I felt perfectly at home. Every song I felt as if I was at one with the crowd. They sang along all night and screamed their heads off. After the show, I got to meet all the fans that...

April 13, 2011 - Minneapolis, MN
Tonight I had a show in Minneapolis! It was our third show on the Waiting4U tour. The venue that we played in was called “First Avenue” The best thing about it is it was where Prince shot Purple Rain! It was cool cause they had pictures all around and even a drawing from Prince on one of the stage doors! The show went incredible though. The fans were really getting into it. I saw a lot...
April 12, 2011 - Lincoln, NE
Today we had an off day in Lincoln, Nebraska. We stopped our buses here midway to Minneapolis where the next Waiting 4U tour date is. It was nice taking the day off today. I got to relax….just hung out at the mall, had a pretzel. I’m on the bus right now and almost everyone is asleep, but I’m still up! I’ve been writing a lot from experiences on the road. I have a big...
April 11, 2011 - Denver, CO
I had a day off yesterday! Started doing some school and it was actually lots of fun - or as the Simpsons would say, it was “heaps” of fun!(: The reason behind the fun was that I got to do school with Cody and Alli. I’m having a great time with them on the tour and on our bus. After school we headed to the venue in Denver and there were some fans there really early and...
April 10, 2011 - Bus to Colorado
Last night was the first show of the Waiting 4U Tour, in Utah! It was crazy. Utah really knows how to party(: The show was really emotional because it was my first ever “headline” show. It was so great to see all the fans with their posters, t-shirts, and face paint! Had so much fun sharing the stage with Cody as well. It is also to great to be able to hangout with him and his family...
April 2, 2011 - Kids Choice Awards
So this last week, I went back home to Oklahoma! I got to enjoy some time off before the tour…it was good to rest! I spent a lot of time sleeping and taking photos! All the neighbors were looking at me a little strangely when I was in the woods taking photos of rocks and trees, but I didn’t really care(:
After my week in Oklahoma I got back today and got to go the Kids Choice Awards!...

They had an awesome piano that I spent most of my time at(: The song was so much fun to write. It has a very postive message, I think you will like it!
So tonight there was supposed to be a...

I had a day off yesterday and got to spend some good time with my dad. We went to play some pool(: Today I was in the studio - it was in a house in the Hollywood Hills with the most amazing view of the city! It was lots of fun to be back in the studio after being on tour, feels good to be making music again. All this week I’m going to be in the studio, I’m really excited about it,...

March 6, 2011 - Mars Needs Moms Premiere
I flew back to LA today to go to the Mars Needs Moms premiere! It was awesome, the movie was really good. After the premiere I got to hang out with some of the cast. They are all very cool, and I met one little guy named Mason Cook. I know Mason because people say he is my twin, except he is pretty young(: He is from Oklahoma as well and I think he looks a lot like me!

We saw lots of hand made posters and t-shirts, it was great! After the show, we did a meet and greet and signing. It was very long, but it was great to shake everyones hand and give some hugs! I am home now reading all of the...

Last night was the final day of the Dancing Crazy tour with Miranda Cosgrove. What an experience it has been. We ended the tour with a killer show in LA! I have learned so much from this tour - it’s been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! I love being on the road, everyday is a new city, a new stage, and a new audience. The best part about it all was seeing all you fans! You...
February 22, 2010 - Ellen Appearance
I am about to catch a plane right now to go to Arizona! I just got done taping an appearance on Ellen’s show…it went incredibly! I performed “Waiting Outside the Lines” for the second time, but this time I switched it up! I invited my fans to be a part of the performance, and they were all crowded around the piano like in the music video - it was great! I also got to...
Tour with Miranda Cosgrove - Day 28: Houston, TX
Yesterday I had a show in Edmond, Oklahoma - it was incredible to perform for my hometown!!! The concert was all for charity - everything went to the Children’s Miracle Network. They raise money to donate to children’s hospitals and it was amazing being a part of something that helps save so many lives. The show was so good! It got crazy and hectic towards the end, but I like crazy...
Tour with Miranda Cosgrove - Day 25: Orlando, FL
Orlando! What an amazing city. I saw so many theme parks today! The venue was right in the middle of Universal Studios. They have this rollercoaster that goes straight up and down! I didn’t get to ride it though…I am going to try next time(: The venue that we played at was incredible!! There was one room in the venue called The John Lennon room, full of everything John Lennon. It was...
Tour with Miranda Cosgrove - Day 24: Tampa, FL
We had the show tonight in Tampa! I had nothing to do during the afternoon so I strolled around the streets of Tampa. The weather was a little too hot for me! I like the bitter cold(: After some time strolling the show came around! It was an amazing audience and venue! I met lots of superfans…one named Tori who was amazing! Tomorrow is Orlando. I can’t wait!!!!
