NeYo chats to I Like Music

ILM: And now, your mum must be incredibly proud of you now? Plus she's obviously done a good job raising you single-handedly too!

NE*YO: My mum is my biggest fan. There is no woman on the face of this planet, no 18 year old girl who can say they are my biggest fan - my mother is holding that title STRONG! She works at a bank in Las Vegas and if you were to go to her office you'd swear an 18 year old girl worked there, because there are posters of me all over the walls, all over the ceiling, she is truly my biggest and best fan. She's so proud.

ILM: You've already had plenty of experience in the industry. Any tips or advice for budding artists and producers starting out, (or kids from Arkansas who are busting to get out and do something creative)?

NE*YO: One thing I would say to anyone trying to get into this business is, the misconception of this business is that it's all fun. You watch TV and you see the videos and you see the girls and the cars, and the money and the clothes and the partying, and I'm not saying that stuff doesn't exist, that stuff it's definitely there. But what you don't see is being in the studio for weeks and doing loads of interviews in a day, followed by a sound check for a show and a show that same night. You don't see the hard work that goes into this business, so, KNOW that it is not fun and games all the time. It is not.
