Kate Voegele Interview -May 11, 2008
Kate Voegele is quickly becoming one of music history's biggest stars. Being signed by Tom Anderson at MySpace opened a lot of doors to this Ohio native. Her debut album "Don't Look Away" impressed listeners, and has appeared numerous of times on the hit TV show, The CW's One Tree Hill playing Mia, a shy keyboardist-turned-solo singer. Not only that, she's also going to school online while touring on the road.
Juan Guerra: On the upcoming Disney Mania album, you sing the song "When you wish upon a star." Out of all Disney songs, what made you decide to sing that one? Kate Voegele: I have always loved that song. Some of my favorite memories are the trips we took to disney world so I was very excited when they asked me to do a song on the CD. My producer Marshall Altman put together a very cool rendition of the song. It was a blast! Juan Guerra: Where does your inspiration come from to write such beautiful songs such as "It's Only life." Kate Voegele: Almost all of my songs just come from my every day experiences. I co-wrote that song with Jim McGorman and we put the chords down in less than 2 hours. I came home from LA and wrote the lyrics and then Marshall Altman produced it and I was so happy with the final cut. It's just basically about not being afraid to take risks and to keep trying even when things don't go the way you had hoped or planned. Juan Guerra: Any tips or advice for songwriters? Kate Voegele: My only advice for songwriters would be to write down every idea you have in a little journal or notebook. Even if it's just a word or phrase you like, write it down so you can come back to it later. You never know when that idea may blossom into a song. Juan Guerra How was it working with Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer) on One Tree Hill? Kate Voegele: Hilarie Burton was amazing to work with on One Tree Hill. Everyone at OTH was so welcoming and helpful. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. Juan Guerra Are there any crazy fan encounters you remember, like someone asking you to sign something really weird or giving you a funny gift? Kate Voegele: So far all of my fans have been wonderful. I am always amazed at how nice and supportive everyone has been. My little sister said she did see someone lick the tour bus when she came to visit me....I guess that's pretty strange!!!
Kate Voegele: I would love to tour internationally. Right now my schedule is pretty full but maybe later this year or next year! Juan Guerra: Favorite place to shop? Kate Voegele: love shopping at vintage stores and there's a graet little store in Wilmington that i love called "edge of urge." Juan Guerra: What is your absolute favorite song to perform and why? Kate Voegele: It's hard to choose a favorite but I really love performing "wish you were" because i think a lot of people can relate to that song.
