The Voice’s Alisan Porter and American Idol’s Adam Lambert – Throwback!

#tbt to a bunch of baby songwriters in a room. This is the day we wrote #aftermath for @adamlambert. I recently listened to that song again and WOAH. We tapped into something so special that day. I still am madly in love with all of these men and making music with them. So grateful that this is my JOB! @elythecreep @ferras. #hensonstudios #trianawarren

Trent Harmon Puts On His Chef’s Hat When He’s Off The Road – Because of his busy life mostly spent on the road, Trent Harmon prefers to cook his own meals when he is home in Nashville. The “There’s A Girl” singer tells us he makes a point to keep things healthy, both on and off the road. [“Yeah, I cook a lot. I eat out so much because we’re on the road that I usually choose to cook if I’m home even though there’s a lot of good places in Nashville to eat. I catch myself making a lot of tacos. You can make tacos really healthy. You know a lot of times I’ll always opt for lettuce instead of bread. And if I grill or something, if I’m doing burgers I always go with lettuce and you can eat more. I figured out, ‘Oh, I can eat four of these burgers if I don’t go bread.’ But, yeah, I make tacos and salad and I cook a lot of breakfasts. – Read more at KIX921.com

From “Idol” to “The Most Beautiful Room In New York” – A conversation with Constantine Maroulis – NG: You’ve done some producing recently and tour as a solo artist, as well as being a working actor. What keeps you motivated to be involved in so many different facets of the industry? CM: I think for me I just was always lucky to grow up in such a diverse home that supported the arts. I feel like I learned early on an admiration for different areas of the medium, whether it’s songwriting, producing, standing up on stage with a rock band, doing front of house kind of things, putting good people together – I think it’s all part of it. For me, the opportunity to produce on Broadway with Deaf West’s “Spring Awakening” was a show I was very passionate about. It was a wonderful thing to be a part of, to see how the whole machine works from behind the scenes. – Read more at OnstageBlog.com
