Top Ten With Lily Halpern
I’m inspired by: My fans, my friends and family, my manager and the other talented people I’m lucky enough to work with and have in my life.
I realized I wanted to play music when: I was five and I first had music class in school, immediately I was hooked.
Four songs you might find on my iPod: “Mean” by Taylor Swift, “Best Thing I Never Had” by Beyonce, “Tonight, Tonight” Hot Chelle Rae (after being on tour with them I can’t get it out of my head!), and “For Once In My Life” Stevie Wonder
One word I would use to describe myself: Goofy
The best part of being a musician is: Being able to connect with my fans through my music.
Right now, I’m most excited about: The fact that I’m on tour with Big Time Rush and Hot Chelle Rae and get to hang out with these amazing guys and play music with them every night.
Something most people don’t know about me is: I am a really really good and graceful water skier…. but I’m pretty clumsy and goofy in all other areas
One of my happiest moments was: Two nights ago at the Hampton Beach Casino concert with Hot Chelle Rae and Big Time Rush when I looked into the audience and saw 5 girls in the front row singing along every single word to my songs.
My music is: My diary.
In ten years, I see myself: Doing exactly what I’m doing now, my music, and being totally and completely happy that I’ve been doing what I love for a decade.
