interview

Normani Kordei of the girl group Fifth Harmony recently phoned in to talk about being a finalist on Dancing with the Stars, and why the show means more to her than just taking home the coveted mirror ball trophy!

I recently tweeted Kelly Clarkson to tell her how moved I was by her recent, emotional performance of her song 'Piece By Piece' on American Idol. So I felt so lucky when I heard she wanted to call in to talk about what she was feeling that night. Take a listen to our interview.

Over the weekend, I got to spend some time with singer Adam Lambert before he took the stage at Caesars Circus Maximus Theater in Atlantic City. We had a nice conversation about his current tour, his impending appearance on this last season of American Idol, and his family ties to South Jersey.

I recently spoke with 17-year old actress Lauren Taylor, who plays Shelby on the Disney Channel series Best Friends Whenever. We chatted about her upcoming visit to South Jersey next month, where she'll take part in the 2016 SoJO 104.9 Kidabaloo event.

We recently talked to the pop duo Karmin about holiday traditions, getting famous on YouTube, and how astrology inspired them to make new music.

I recently sat down with singer/songwriter Matt Nathanson backstage at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia ahead of his performance. Watch to see what came between us in the beginning of our interview, and why he left his setlist in the hands of his audience. We simply adore Matt here at SoJO.

Powerhouse vocalist Leona Lewis and I recently spoke about her separation from longtime mentor Simon Cowell, being tapped for Taylor Swift's 1989 tour, and her new-found independence on the new album I Am.

Katy Perry is getting set to release a new song called '1984' that is rumored to be a big answer to Taylor Swift's 'Bad Blood'. Perry vs. Swift: Girlfight, round 23!

It's been seven years since Hilary Duff released new music. Now, the singer and actress is back with a sassy, summery song called 'Sparks', she's starring in a new hit TV series, and she's living a post-divorce single girl life. This is not your Lizzy McGuire Hilary Duff. Hear what she had to say during an exclusive interview with SoJO.

The Disney Channel TV series 'Jessie' has made actress Peyton List a household name. But List's plans for stardom don't end there. In fact, her career is just beginning. Peyton called into SoJO this week to talk about making more mature films, branching out into music, and meeting fans at this weekend's SoJO 104.9 Kidabaloo.

New Jersey's own Jacquie Lee captured our attention on Season 5 of The Voice. Now the teen in on the verge of releasing her debut album. It's first single 'Tears Fall' is a powerful piece of pop and super catchy. Jacquie checked in with SoJO during New Music Monday to chat with us exclusively about the song.

As Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades of Grey, Dakota Johnson is very timid and measured. But, in real life, don't let her hear you ask her famous mom Melanie Griffith if she's seen her daughter's naughty bits on the big screen, or you'll get a flogging. Watch what happens when interviewer Lara Spencer makes that mistake. (Gosh, MOM!)
