And we are here today with a very special guest on the Elvis Duran morning show! The phone lines are going completely insane right now....He's the industries newest bad boy, its Austin Nimmo! How are you feeling today?

Radio Applause*-

Austin: Hey man, well I'm not the industries bad boy. Im really not! *laughs* but I am good. It's freezing here over in New York with all the snow. Alot more use to the California weather.

Elvis: Is that so lil fellow? Lately everyone has been talking about you and your best friend Kato and this CRAZY party that went down on New Years eve, can we clear the air on that one first? What exactly happened?

Austin: Nothing really, everyone has been making a huge deal about it. Kato and I through a party for new years. I am plenty sure alot of other people were celebrating as well, the party was alot of fun, everyone had a great time and although it did get out of hand with the all the people showing up, most of what has been said about the party and us are completely false, completely.

Elvis: So these accusations of drug use, getting freaking with girls, the cops and stuff is all false?


Austin: The drug accusations about Kato and I are totally false. Laughable actually. We were obviously having a good time but there was no drug use amongst us. That's crazy and especially the whole "girl" thing, laughable too. We have girlfriends, unfortunately they couldn't be there and we would never do such a thing. I think its a shame that two people could make up such elaborate lies. Such a active imagination of what actually happened. What I CAN tell you is that the cops did show up just to make sure that everything was okay, but that was it. Everything else is false, shame that people want so much attention through lies.

Elvis: Good! Well that's how it's going to be now that you've become big time. I mean lately your name is all we have been hearing. Were you ready for this?

Austin: Umm....I'm adjusting if you will ha. I can tell you the truth, I really wasn't expecting all of this so quickly to be honest. My life flipped upside down and I'm really beginning to adjust to it and learning to have a lot of fun with it too. It's always a little hard when life changes but I've always wanted it and won't ever regret it happening. Just adapting as the days go on *laughs*

Elvis: With all of the controversy surrounding you, you've also got a lot of other things going on. Including a new doll line! I know the little girls are going to go crazy.

Austin: I don't find the controversy the controversy literally finds me. I'm just a little innocent boy raised in California, that's it! *laughs* but yes, the 2014 Austin Nimmo Toy Collection hits stores in a couple of weeks, I know my young fans are really excited about it, I am too.

Elvis: Wasn't that really freaky seeing y
yourself as a doll?

Austin: It was! I remember being a tiny child and seeing like the Nysnc dolls and I'm 17 now, and I've got my own doll line coming out. Its really crazy. My own doll line? Couldn't believe Mattel even considered me, but Its exciting. Have to give the consumers what they want.

Elvis: I bet it is. I remember hearing about you two years ago when you were making YouTube videos, you were already making noise, what I didn't know was how you would grow into such a popular artist. Now that you are a star, and your popularity has sky rocketed, what didn't you expect?

Austin: I didn't expect certain people out there to be so vicious and evil. There are a lot of people who just want to break you down for the fun of it, it's really sad and sick the joy people get out of it. I also didn't expect certain people that I use to look up to before I got my first record deal to be as unwelcoming as they are. You have a perception of someone as a fan and they're all nice and what not but behind the scenes, a lot are totally different. Looks are very deceiving. I also really didn't expect to have such an amazing fan base. They are really awesome.

Elvis: And a very supportive fan base at that, they've attacked the likes of Kato and Kai Rollins for being "bad influences" on you. Do you agree?

Austin: No, I don't agree with that. I really do appreciate them caring about me but I am also my own person and they can't blame or attack someone else for something they are assuming.

Elvis: I saw the hashtag Pray 4 Austin trending worldwide the other day....I couldn't help but have a little laugh, that was a bit out there.

Austin: That was completely and utterly outrageous *laughs*.

Elvis: Take us back, early last year. How did you react when Rami Yacoub contacted you?

Austin: Well I was really glad. My mom and dad weren't a fan of it. They thought he was just trying to use me for money but after he spoke to them over the phone he flew us out to Switzerland and shortly after "Adore You" was recorded and released independently, didn't really well on the charts, and that's where it.all started.

Elvis: You've also just released a new single "Girlfriend" featuring Jennifer Armstrong, we've been getting a lot of requests for the song and we'll be playing it shortly. How was it working with Jennifer Armstrong?

Austin: Shes extremely talented and she's got a head on her shoulders! She doesn't mind speaking up, and I like that. I enjoyed recording the record with her.

Elvis: Its quite different from your debut single! Although I liked Adore You, this was a better fit for an oldie like me.

Austin: Haha! I mean, its important that I keep things fresh and not the same all the time.

Elvis: You have also stated that you wanted your music to be universal, what exactly did you mean by that?

Austin: Universal meaning, tending to all audiences. Not just my age group. I love Girlfriend because not only can it appeal to a younger audience, it can also appeal to an older audience like you said, or the "oldies". I don't want to be stuck. At my current age, we all get labeled as 'teen pop' stars and that notion kind of sticks with us and haunts us as we get older and want our music to mature. Why not start early and appeal to others instead of just my young audience?

Elvis: Yes! Keep it up Austin! Don't discriminate against the oldies!

Austin: Hahaha!

Elvis: You're also working on an album correct, what can you tell us about the record and when can we expect it?

Austin: I'm really ready for my album to come out. Its almost ready. Its going to show my strengths as a vocalist and my versatility. I didn't want to just make a teen pop album, I wanted to kind of stretch it and do other things too. I don't want to give too much away but its definitely a great record and everyone can expect it in the first quarter or second quarter of this year. So around February, March...April. It's almost ready but I haven't put my finger on a date until everything is 100% ready.

Elvis: What is it about music that you love so much?

Austin: I love how music has the power to evoke emotion and unify people. It is an outlet for me to express my thoughts, feelings, and creativity. It also has the power to serve as an anthem for certain periods within peoples lives, that's what I really love about it.

Elvis: Do you feel its tough achieving so much at a young age?

Austin: Not really. Aside from always being labeled, I think us young people are going to hold things down in the future so if anything we are here as the new generation. I don't let age stop me from continuously working hard. When you work hard, you reap the benefits no matter what age you are. I personally, continue to work hard I continue to mature as an artist.

Elvis: Speaking of love, are you and Layla Sanchez of SYNCO dating?

Austin: Yes . *smiles*

Elvis: Well congrats! How did it happen?

Austin: I've always had a crush on her. We began speaking, few dates and it just happened, really. I'm glad too.

Elvis: Well I wish you the very best with her, Austin.

Austin: Thank you Elvis!

Elvis: What is 2014 bringing you? Do you have a new years resolution?

Austin: My album, my tour, my toy line. I mean there is a lot on the agenda for this year. And I am so so ready for it. Nope, no new years resolution. My new years resolutions are always to have more fun then the year before.

Elvis: Stay out of trouble, Austin. Do not let this music industry turn you into a monster. Very valuable words from Elvis here.

Austin: Thank you Elvis, don't worry !

Elvis: Before you go, we promised one caller to ask you a question and shes on the line right now. "Maria! Are you there?"

Maria: Yes! Hi Austin! I am like your biggest fan!

Austin: Hi Maria, thank you, much appreciated, I'm flattered here.

Maria: My question is....what is something that people don't know about you?

Austin: Good question! Well what people probably don't know is that I was born in Australia. Came to America when I was three. Don't really remember life in Australia either.

Elvis: Thank you Maria, have a good day okay?

Maria: Love you Austin! Okay bye!

Elvis: Care to give us a small little intro of your new single?

Austin: *Laughs* I thought you would never ask. *Clears throat* Here is my new single GIRLFRIEND! which features Jennifer Armstrong

*Radio Applause*

Elvis: Thank you for coming by and I wish you the very, very best in your career and I hope to see you soon

Austin: Thank you Elvis! Will definitely see you around soon.
