You might recognize Eric Nicolau from Allstar Weekend or Glee, but his new album “Won’t You Stay” is creating a buzz that’s all his own. Seventeen hung out with Eric in LA and we are letting you inside our juicy convo. Read it here!
Seventeen: You moved to LA when you were 21. Did you know anyone when you moved out here?
Eric Nicolau: I went by myself. I literally borrowed my mom’s station wagon, packed up, and I drove myself out.
17: What do you think that taught you?
EN: It was a huge risk, and it was a huge leap of faith. It was a decision where you jump in or you don’t.
17: You recently got back from touring with Selena Gomez. How was that? Any fun stories?
EN: She’s really down to earth. One time, I was throwing the Frisbee with one of the other guys in Allstar Weekend and I accidentally hit Selena! That was my first interaction with her and I was so scared she was going to come over and yell at me. But she was so nice about it! She just laughed it off.
17: Will you be touring again this summer?
EN: We could be! I’m excited about what’s going to happen this year. Right now I’m doing Glee and The Glee Project, which will air sometime in May. But, I’m really excited about what’s to come.
17: What song are you most excited for fans to hear?
EN: “How We Grow Old” is a really relatable song, so I think people will love that song. I’m also really excited about “Get Down”. it’s a sweet R&B song.
17: What do you want people to learn from you and this album?
EN: The message is about being who you are and not second guessing yourself. I used to think so much about what I was doing, what I was going to wear, what kind of song I was going to write, what kind of song I was going to put out. Then I just got to this point where I was like, you know what? Like, Selena Gomez’s song, “I wouldn’t want to be anybody else,” I guess it just rubbed off on me. I don’t. I’m just going to do what I like, and it’s a little unorthodox because people want you to stick to one type of music, but I just did it. That’s why I wrote all those songs.
