LionBeat: What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
NG: That you have to put in the work. You may not want to sometimes, but you’re not just going to be amazing on your first try.
*ABOUT*
"But you’re too pretty to be a drummer!” That’s what they told you, as if that’s a legitimate excuse. If you were going to do music, you were going to do it on your terms, with the percussion coursing through your bones like the heartbeat of a god. And you see every poster board in the audience with your name and a pair of drumsticks like exclamation points. You know exactly what you’re doing. You’re here to set an example.
*CONNECTIONS*
MANDY SHEPARD – You’ve been giving her drum lessons on the side, in case you can’t play one night for whatever reason. It...could be going better.
AARON HAYNES – Maybe someday you’ll try things again. You won’t deny he’ll make a great husband to someone in the future. But for now you’re just happy to still be in his life.
LINDSEY DAVIS – You’re both drum sisters, and you do your best to make the most of that. Even if Lindsey does some things you find...questionable.
JAMES FINLEY – He’s that cousin you only saw a couple times a year at awkward family gatherings. Now you see him all the time, and you realize you know basically nothing about each other.

LionBeat: When do you think The Yearbook will be touring again?
AH: We’re really trying to focus on writing at the moment. We love being on the road, but we’re all ready to start working with some new material.
*ABOUT*
You formed your band with your best friend out of your garage, and you don’t want to lose that feeling. Your fans think you’re here for fame and to meet chicks, but you’re only here for the music. And let’s be honest, you’ve still got a bit too much stage fright to do much of anything else. You see other musicians on stage joking with the audience and throwing their inhibitions out the window. That’s not you.
*CONNECTIONS*
MARK KORRAPATI – He’s the Shawn to your Cory. He keeps you laughing. If it wasn’t for him, you’d probably still be sitting in your room with your guitar and a notebook of songs that would never see the light of day.
NICOLE GILBERT – You liked dating her. Neither of you tried to hide it. And if you had to break up, you’re glad it was mutual. Aside from Mark, she’s probably your closest friend.
DIONYSUS JONES – You worship at this guy’s feet. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but you really love how he writes his songs and maybe, if you play your cards right, some of that genius will rub off on you.
LAURA BERNEKING – It took you two a solid week after meeting to figure out you were both musicians in popular bands. She’s not in this for the fame, either, and you like that.

LionBeat: How has Camilla’s departure changed the dynamic of the group?
JM: If anything, I think it’s brought us closer together. We’re really starting a new era of Totally Girls, and now we understand what that means.
*ABOUT*
You’ve been beta your entire life. Silver trophies and hand me down clothes. Now, with Princess Camilla gone, you’re the alpha. None of the others are up for the challenge, and you’ll be damned if you’re going to let that new girl sweep in and steal what’s rightfully yours.
*CONNECTIONS*
CAMILLA SANTOS – You were close until you realized she had everything you wanted and didn’t even care. Her departure probably hurt you the most, even if you won’t admit it.
ERIN PARK – She was a good partner in crime, but if she still wants to be stupid when you’re trying to get serious, that’s her problem.
MANDY SHEPARD – How the two of you ever became friends is beyond you. She’s a Siren, after all. But when you just want to ignore everything that’s bothering you, she’s a good person to call.
RYAN HENDRIX – He’s like that sometimes annoying, sometimes adorable older brother you never had. He looks out for you.

LionBeat: So there’s no sort of rivalry going on between the Sirens and Totally Girls?
CL: The music industry shouldn’t be treated as a popularity contest. Everyone’s got their strengths and weaknesses.
*ABOUT*
That’s the problem when you give good advice - everyone comes running to you with your troubles. You joke that you should give up the music thing and open your own advice column. Of course, all you’re trying to do is keep this ship sailing and the sailors from killing each other. After all, this is your dream, too. You’re not here just so smile and wave when the time calls for it.
*CONNECTIONS*
MANDY SHEPARD – It’s less a sisterly relationship and more a concerned mother and her headstrong child. You keep her on the ground.
ERIN PARK – She would have drunk herself all the way to the hospital that night had you not intervened. Now you try to keep an eye on her whether she likes it or not.
LULU HENDERSON – You’ve seen the way she acts around you, but can’t work up the heart to tell her girls just don’t do it for you.
JOSÉ ROSALES – Okay, yes. You dated the Lothario of Celsius once upon a time. So what? It’s really not that big of a deal.

LionBeat: How is Totally Girls is going to move forward, musically?
SG: I think we’re going to aim for a more well-rounded sound - fall away from the autotune. I’d love to do some acoustic tracks for our next album.
*ABOUT*
To be in a group means you do things together, right? Well, somebody didn’t give the other Girls the memo. They let you sing, but that’s about as far as your involvement goes. They don’t listen to your suggestions or take you seriously when you have a complaint. Hell, they barely hang out with you outside of work. You’re just kind of...there.
*CONNECTIONS*
CAMILLA SANTOS – She used to be the one who listened to you. She stood up for you. But then she left and you have to fend for yourself. You kind of hate her now.
LENA PATTERSON – She’s shameless, and you adore that, as well as her music. She inspires you to keep trying in spite of the odds.
DAVE PUCKETT – He’s unlike any boy you’ve ever met. Your heart thumps whenever he’s in the room. Please, please let him notice you.
WILL CHUNG – He’s the Sunday version of you. In your own little way, you try to let him know you understand.

LionBeat: As a little girl, did you ever picture yourself singing in front of thousands of people?
EP: Actually, yeah! Maybe not this way exactly, but I knew I would end up in some kind of show business.
*ABOUT*
Your family has been under the legitimate spotlight for as long as you can remember. The glitz, the parties, the screaming fans...they were all old hat even before Totally Girls. The raw adrenaline when your first single made number one was lost on you. Nothing excites you any more, and you’re so desperate to feel that way again. A little too desperate, some might say.
*CONNECTIONS*
JESSIE MULLINS – The two of you used to be a team, like Statler and Waldorf. Now she’s pulled away all high and mighty and you don’t like it.
CHRISTINA LUCAS – If it wasn’t for her, you might have had to get your stomach pumped after that party. But you don’t want anyone feeling sorry for you, least of all a Siren.
VAL SANTIAGO – You pay for the goodies and she picks them up. Nobody bats an eye if someone like her goes out looking for a good time.
DARREN SCOTT – The jackass caught you doing lines, so now you need some kind of dirt on him to keep him quiet.

LionBeat: Have you kept in touch with the other members of Totally Girls since you left the group?
CS: Of course! Those girls and I have been through so much; they’re more like my sisters.
*ABOUT*
You were the face of Totally Girls until you decided to leave. “It’s nothing personal. I just feel this is my time.” The country was aghast, split into your supporters and you sworn enemies, but it all rolled off your back like water, just like everything else. You learned a lot as a Girl, and now you want to prove yourself as a woman.
*CONNECTIONS*
JESSIE MULLINS – The little sister you never had. But almost overnight, she sneered at you like you had blown out the candles on her birthday cake. The thought of going solo came easier after that.
STEPH GALLOWAY -- Everyone was deaf to her voice except you. You made sure she was heard. Hopefully she’s learned something since those days.
THOMAS “YOUNG T” SULLIVAN – Both your brains travel on the same wavelength. How you haven’t collaborated on a song yet is a mystery.
DAVE PUCKETT – You like a mature man, and he fits that to a T. He understands that this is a business and sometimes sacrifices have to be made.

Dave Puckett | Twenty-Four | Singer for Celsius | Keahu Kahuanui | OPEN
LionBeat: Many fans consider you the face of Celsius. How do you feel about that?
DP: That’s very kind, but I don’t feel that way at all. The other boys are working just as hard as I am, and deserve just as much focus.
*ABOUT*
Celsius would be a lost cause without you, no two ways about it. You are the glue that holds this entire operation together. These little greasy-haired punks don’t know the first thing about being real, professional musicians, while you’ve been preparing for this your whole life. And your formula for success is playing out just perfectly.
*CONNECTIONS*
CAMILLA SANTOS – She’s Millennium’s perfect princess, and you know you have to be on her good side to get any kind of power.
JOSÉ ROSALES – He’s too lax. He thinks this is all a game; doesn’t take anything seriously. So you constantly find yourself wanting to strangle him.
LULU HENDERSON – Blah de blah
STEPH GALLOWAY – You’re fully aware of her little crush, and honestly, you couldn’t care less. She’s just a little kid who barely even realizes what she wants.

LionBeat: We all know it’s no fun being the new girl. Has the transition to Totally Girls been rough?
LH: The girls have all been so kind to me - I couldn’t ask for a better experience! I seriously have the best job in the world.
*ABOUT*
When Totally Girls started holding auditions, you went for the heck of it. You rarely sang anywhere outside of choir and the shower; no way they would really take you. Except they called you back. And kept calling you back. You thought it was all a joke until you were signing the contract at the Millennium office. Truly a Cinderella story. But now the joke’s on you, forever known as “the girl who replaced Camilla.”
*CONNECTIONS*
TRISH VELASQUEZ -- While the other girls have been lukewarm at best, she is the only one who has shown you actual kindness.
AMY GUTHRIE – High school choir brought you close. You always knew she was going to make it, but maybe only she knew you would as well.
CHRISTINA LUCAS – The Girls and the Sirens are supposed to be rivals (so say the media, at least), but that doesn’t stop you from blushing around her.
DAVE PUCKETT – No matter how kind you are to him, he treats you like the dead fly on his windshield. Maybe because he also knows you don’t belong here.
