Elliott Yamin News and Pictures
An interview with Elliott Yamin recently ran in an Arizona newspaper. Below are a few of the most interesting Q/A’s. This guy’s so likeable, I hope he has a ridiculously huge career!
You keep in touch with your fellow Season Fivers?
“I keep in touch with quite a few people. Bucky Covington and Taylor Hicks were my best friends on the show. I talked to Taylor probably about a week ago when we were in St. Louis and Bucky a couple of weeks ago. I talk to Ace Young all the time. Ace has probably become one of my better friends post-show. He lives in L.A., pretty close to where I live.
“We talk about more personal stuff than the business stuff. Everyone has been so busy, they just want some normalcy.”
What did you want to achieve with your first solo album?
“I just wanted to bring raw, soulful music. I didn’t want it to get overproduced or sound too copy. There is an eclectic mix of sounds on the record. I wanted to work with as many people as I could and have as many different sounds as I could. There are some sounds on there for the blue hairs, for the young folks and for everyone in between. Had I been on a major label, I wouldn’t have been able to record that way. I am proud of how we accomplished it. I am looking forward to the next record.”
Any projects on the horizon?
“I did a big Christmas deal with Target. I will be recording that album in July. We go out on the road and do the second leg of the tour in August and September. Then it is on to the next album.”
Can’t wait for the Christmas music!
