"Hamilton is 90% rap,"
said Blaine Krauss, who just acquired the Broadway role of
Alexander Hamilton permanently, when I asked about his singing
voice being displayed in such a high-profile musical as Hamilton.
Blaine's voice is now on tour with his
From The Soul Show and was recently heard in Los Angeles at the infamous Catalina Jazz Club - with a 12-piece
band!
"Playing (Alexander) Hamilton means you
sing the least," the Tampa Bay native laughed a bit as he pointed that out because I was so excited for him to be able
to share his voice at such as high-profile musical. "I had the role full-time since the beginning of March. I've been,
on and off, with the tour for four years. I went from a standby to permanent."
"What's crazy...is the biggest moment...the high...is
in live shows when you in the moment," said Country music's Robby Johnson when we were discussing his
new single "More Than You Think."
Robby's
Country sound is taking the industry by-storm. He is highly in demand with performances on the Late Show with David Letterman
and as the opening act for Keith Urban. Each month he boast an average 80,000 listeners on Spotify.
"I had 35,000 people screaming my name," Robby laughed a little when
I asked about being opening for Grammy and Country Music award winning Keith Urban. "Artists stop me...they go, ‘Oh
my god!' It inspires me. I still don't believe it."
