NeYo chats to I Like Music


So when I finally decided to be an artist I had to train myself to give up these personal freedoms that I'd fallen so deeply in love with. I can't go to the movies or walk through a club by myself, there's stuff like that I've got to think about now and it's sad, but I've learned to love it now. I love signing autographs and taking pictures and knowing that my music is touching people.

ILM: And I guess now people get the chance to show you how much they appreciate your music, whereas before they coudn't.

Now, as well as music, you also like to draw, paint and do martial arts. Have you always been the creative type?

NE*YO: Oh yeah, always. I went to a Performing Arts high school. It was the Las Vegas Academy for the Theatre, Performing and Visual Arts. The automatic assumption would be that I went for choir or something, but I actually went for visual design: drawing and painting. I've always done that and I kind of use that now as my escape from music. I never thought I'd need an escape from music, but this industry will force you to need to get away from it now again. So I'll go out and get some canvas and try to put something together or grab a piece of paper and a pen and draw something.
