The middle Jonas Brother launches his solo album “Fastlife”. Has an important mission: to be the new Justin Timberlake and try to dodge the road of as many awkward questions possible. Here he speaks of hip hop, dance, his admiration for Kanye West and Tiësto cool and crazy fans.

Q: Your first solo album, does it sound like how you want?
A: Yes, absolutely. It’s like a dream come true. After making music for so long, still having the support of your fans is incredible.

Q: Ever wanted to make a record more urban, more dance?
A: It’s music that inspires me. I’ve always been very interested in hip-hop and dance.

Q: Is there anyone you would like to work that is not on the album?
A: I would have had Kanye West or a DJ like Tiesto. I admire them a lot.

Q: Is it true you were in the studio with Frankmusik?
A: Yes, long ago. It was cool. But did not use any songs in the project, at the end.

Q: So it was not so cool.
A: Yes it was, but it did not fit exactly the direction I needed. It was very helpful for the project. Perhaps one day will release the song(s).

Q: How long have you dreamed of going solo?
A: From about a year ago. I did not want to get too much pressure for me or my brothers. I wanted to let go.

Q:Just a year?
A: What I’ve been working on it.

Q: How did your brothers take it?
A: Very supportive.

Q: How often do you see your brother lately?
A: They live in different places, so less than I would.

Q: Would you be taken seriously as a solo artist?
A: My fans have grown with me. They are adults and they take me seriously.

Q: So now you’re an artist for people who are 20 years old?
A: The album is not aimed at any particular age. I wanted to create something they could listen to, children and adults, and I think I succeeded.

Q: Do you ever feel trapped in your role as a Disney artist?
A: I never felt trapped. I always felt I had a great opportunity to make music that other people have not had. They’ve always been very supportive and allowed me to be creative.

Q: You really have always been exactly where you wanted to be?
A: Of course.

Q: Have you ever felt that Disney was asking too much?
A: No. I have always fully supported. From the TV show, Camp Rock. It helped us to reach a large base of fans.

Q: That is clear. But once you became famous, did not began to ask more?
A: What do you mean?

Q: Exactly what you just asked.
A: In my career, I can say no and point to where I could handle. I had the reins.

Q: Have you felt overprotected?
A: No. Having the opportunity to write from the heart, what you want to have the support of promotion for the songs is what everyone wants.

Q: For example, how many people travel with you?
A: It depends. With my brothers a lot. Me only 4 or 5.

Q: Why do you think you’re especially popular in Spain?
A: I guess because I have taken the time to come and interact with fans.

Q: What is the funniest thing that ever happened here?
A: Once, in a mall, we had a meet and greet for fans. About sixty thousand came. It was crazy. There were people everywhere.

Q: What ended up happening?
A: We had to run away. The police told us we could not get to say hello because it was too dangerous. So I ran to the car escaped with fans chasing, and the car would not start … It was one thing after another.

Q: Believe that this type of situation happens to you constantly.
A: Running in front of the fans. That occasion was particularly savage. Always tell it everywhere.

Q: You travel a lot. Did you always know what country you wake up?
A: No. I wake up and sometimes I have no idea where I am.

Q: And when you go to sleep?
A: It’s the same problem. Especially in Europe, which in an hour by plane you can travel to another country. In the United States it is not.

Q: Ever a fan that really got on your nerves?
A: Not really. Sometimes trying to sneak into the hotel it’s so crazy, but I think that while you respect, they respect you.
