M. CROSS  HEY THERE, THEY CALL ME JJ or JOHNNY AND I'M CURRENTLY TWENTY-ONE YEARS OLD. I'M PART OF THE BAND AND I'M THE LEAD SINGER OF WAKE FOR YOUNG SOULS. ------------------------------------------------- HEY. HOW OLD ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU DO ON THIS TOUR? "Hey there, uh, I‘m Johnny Cross, I’m twenty-one, and I sing lead vocs for WFYS. That Wake For Young Souls." HAVE YOU ALWAYS DONE THIS FOR A LIVING? WHY? WERE YOU ALWAYS GOOD AT IT? "Sort of, it was more of a hobby for a while, but I‘ve been at it since I was sixteen, the music thing, so it‘s sorta in my veins. My dad taught me how to play drums back when I could barley say ‘high hat’, so originally that’s what I did, I played drums. I’ve always sung, like to myself and stuff, but not really in front of people, not really, but one day I was listening to a track the band I was with at the time had laid and just sung along. Apparently they unanimously thought I sounded better and well I became a singer. Then I found my current band mates and the rest is history. So as to why, well I grew up with music, it’s what I’ve always done so why not. I like to let the fans be my judge, they think I‘m good they‘ll let me know, they think I‘m shit they‘ll definitely let me know. So I don‘t know. You tell me?" SO WHAT ARE SOME BAD THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID ABOUT YOU? "People have said a lot of stuff about me and some things, unfortunately are true. I was into drugs a few years back, but I‘ve been clean for a year and a half. There was a rumor that I was an alcoholic, which isn‘t true, swear it. Lets see… oh there was that rumor that I grew up on the streets, a hobo or something like that. That is a lie. My family wasn‘t well off, but we did alright, myself and my two sisters always had a roof over our heads and full bellies. There was this really funny one that went around, something like I have a sexual obsession with clowns. Totally not true though, clowns actually scare the living bejeezus outta me. I think I‘d have a heart attack if one hit on me let alone tried to seduce me. I will say the one about me having a thing for chick flicks and romantic comedies is entirely true. Yeah, I may look a little rough around the edges, but I‘m a big sap. Just ask my friends, or Carsen for that matter." NOW, ABOUT THAT SEX TAPE LEAKED A FEW YEARS BACK, WAS IT REAL? WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT IT? "Oh… wow… I was afraid that might come up. Yes. It’s real. I didn’t know she was filming it, I’m totally not into that stuff. I’m a firm believer that some stuff should remain intimate and personal. There’s really not much to tell about it, it’s sort of self explanatory. But yeah, it happened, unfortunately. And yes it’s 100% real. I feel no reason to not tell my fans the truth when it’s obvious." SO THEN, EVERYTHING IN THAT VIDEO IS REAL? I MEAN YOUR REALLY… YOU’RE THAT WELL OFF IN THE EQUIPMENT DEPARTMENT? "Oh, wow, uh, is that even appropriate? That doesn’t even seem professional in the slightest. I don’t think I should even answer that. Really, that’s just rude, very poor taste." IS IT TRUE THAT YOU STARTED DATING THE GIRL IN THAT VIDEO AFTER THAT? IS IT TRUE THAT SHE GOT PREGNANT? "Probably should’ve seen that one coming, too… yes, she and I dated after that incident, though it didn’t actually get leaked until after we had broken up. She did not get pregnant from it. That’s all I’m going to say about it. So, moving on?" OKAY, OKAY. WHY DON’T YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR CURRENT LOVE LIFE, WE HEAR YOU’RE ENGAGED, IS THAT RIGHT? "Yeah, I’ve been dating Carsen for a little over a year now. I love her to bits. About two months back I popped the question and was over the moon happy when she said yes. Honestly I’m the luckiest guy in the world, she makes everyday worth it and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with her. We’re just… we’re good together, she makes me happy and I just know that I will always feel this way. I’ve known for a while that she’s it for me, so our life together can only get better once we make that official in every way possible." THAT‘S SWEET. OKAY NOW HOW ABOUT YOU TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT YOURSELF? "Well I grew up in a bit of a rough neighborhood, but I turned out alright. I had a mom and a dad, two sisters -one older, one younger-, and a few pets. Yeah, I‘m the middle child, but I tend to act like the eldest, pisses Mariah off to no end. Way I see it, she may be almost four years older than me, but if she can‘t act like it then I‘m sure as hell not gonna treat her like it. I did okay in school, but I dropped out when I was sixteen, had to start working pretty early, cause my pops got hurt on the job. He worked construction, but he fell on the job and hurt his back, Kelly was only two and we couldn‘t afford day care, work man‘s comp didn‘t kick in right away either. So I stepped up, quit school, got a job that didn‘t pay shit, but every little bit helps. I played music on the side too, when I could. After a few years things started getting better and I was able to do what I wanted for a change. WFYS started and they needed a new vocalist, they liked my sound and so it went from there." VERY TOUCHING. ALRIGHT NOW HOW ABOUT A FEW FAN QUESTIONS? SYDNEY FROM DELWARE WANTS TO KNOW: “IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN LIVING EVERYDAY WITHOUT A VOICE BUT WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE OR LIVING EVERYDAY WITH YOUR VOICE BUT WITHOUT THE ONE YOU LOVE, WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE? "That‘s pretty twisted. Without a doubt though I‘d rather live without being able to utter a single syllable or move any miniscule muscle if it meant Carsen would still be around. Yeah, my voice is my money maker, and I do love to talk, but honestly none of it would mean a single thing with out her." DEEP BRO. MICKEY FROM PORTLAND ASKED: “DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU SAVED MY LIFE?” "Oh… wow. That‘s super flattering, like you have no clue how awesome it is to think that. But honestly in my opinion, if you hadn‘t wanted a way out you wouldn‘t have found it. Yeah we sing the shit that hits home for people, but really, all we‘re doing is letting you know you‘re not alone. There‘s strength in numbers, and sometimes that‘s the only push a person really needs. So thank you, but sweetie, that was all your doing." WOW, YOU REALLY ARE A MUSHY ONE… LAST ONE, KEEGAN FROM NEBRASKA WANTS TO KNOW: “WHAT DO YOU THINK OF GLOBAL WARMING?” "Uh… it sucks? So uh… save the polar bears and penguins and shit. Keep fighting the good fight…?" GREAT, WELL IT’S BEEN STELLAR TALKING TO YOU JOHNNY. THANKS, AND SEE YOU NEXT TIME. |
