Sugarslam: As far as writing the music for Another Cinderella Story, what were some of the inspirations for those songs?

Drew: Let’s see. Well, New Classic, the inspiration was, Damon Santostefano, the director, kind of gave us some notes, and told us we needed a big theme song kind of for the end dance that brings Mary and Joe together. So I was sort of thinking – the concept for New Classic is kind of, you know, you take – there’s nothing more classic than a sense of self-confidence. There’s nothing more sexy than that, so I think that Mary has that, but then also she makes it new by bringing her own kind of style into it and giving it her own spin, and that’s kind of what she sees in me too, so sort of find each other or help each other find ourselves through that, and that’s what that song is about

Sugarslam: As far as the songs, are those all written by you, cowritten by you?

Drew: A little bit of both. I love collaborating and cowriting, and I’m working with a bunch of cool people. I’m in the studio with this guy, Mike Daily, today, who has done some stuff with the Plain White T’s. And I just recorded a song a couple days ago with this production team called the Heavy Weights for an album that’s coming out. I don’t know when it’s coming out, but it has something to do with The Wizards of Waverly Place show.

Sugarslam: Another Selena tie-in.

Drew: Yes, you know, hey. Why not, right?

Sugarslam: Exactly

Drew: I’m really psyched about that song. It’s going to be really good.

Sugarslam: You had mentioned that you started off (Acting) pretty young. What was your inspiration or kind of your interest in performing?

Drew: I don’t know … know if that’s what you want to do with the rest of your life. Maybe you do. Maybe you don’t, but my parents kind of got me into dancing and then a little bit of acting when I was about that age. I think maybe like freshman year of high school or eighth grade is when I decided this is what I wanted to do, and I actually took my own effort to go try out for all the school plays, and I did all the school musicals and that kind of thing. It’s probably like 13-ish, 12, 13.
