This young Actress/ Dancer and Singer hits the gay scene in Los Angeles. Its almost like you cant go anywhere with people saying, who is this new Katerina Graham? But she is no newbie. She has been busting her ass since she was a kid and is the voice behind Will I Am’s “Got it from My Mama” acting along side Zach Efron and dancing with Missy Elliott. This gorgeous Switzerland native’s next move is embarking on the Music Industry with her own record.
1. You have been performing in West Hollywood recently and really catering to the GLBT community. Why us? Well I've always been a supporter of the gay community, everything from the night life to activism. As a pop act, it was really important for me to go where people would appreciate what I do as well as a place where I could be free to grow as an artist. I will forever be the straight girl with the sequins that hits the clubs at night and gets blown away by the amazing drag queen shows and music. It keeps me on my A game besides the fact that I genuinely love the gay community and support them 110%. (WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START OFF THIS INTERVIEW!) 2. You have an amazing acting resume. When did you realize you wanted to pursue music as well? Thank you. I started off acting, and then became a backup dancer for people like Missy Elliott and Pharrell. I stood behind all these amazing acts thinking hey maybe I could do it too. So I took the money I made from acting, bought some equipment, made some shitty demos, but finally mastered it and got some amazing records out. 3. When will you have a full album available? I'm working on it at the moment. It's looking like 2010 is my year. It been a long time coming and a lot of struggle but having the right records out is the most important thing as well as having the time to promote it right. 4. You have worked with big names like Snoop Dogg and Will I Am... What would be your next dream duet? Lady Gaga. 5. What has inspired you to create music? The hard times inspire me to create music. The great times. , love and heartbreak. It's made me driven to want to create great music that will make people happy and feel strong. 6. What are you currently listening to in your iPod/ mp3 player? I'm always listening to Gwen Stefani. I love Audio Bullys, MGMT Gaga and Britney. 7. What was best about performing at RAGE? Oh my gosh it was the most amazing show I've ever had as a solo artist. It was also my first show at a gay club. It was my dream to play Rage and it was the first time I was ever nervous in my life to perform because I really cared what the audience thought of me. They embraced me. I was the happiest on stage I've been in really long time. 8. What was the best part about being a "FANTA" Spokes model? The outfits of course! And the wigs. Also on Halloween I would get so many pictures of men dressed as Fanta girls looking amazing! It was so great! 9. Where can we see Katerina Graham next? I'm on the new CW show "Vampire Diaries" that premiers this fall Thursday at 8pm and just wrapped up the screen gems film "The Roommate". As for my show runs, I'm constantly updating them on my myspace www.myspace.com/kgexperience so check them out. As of now I'm doing Hamburger Marys on Thursday the 18th (of June), The Cat Club on the 20th, Mickys on the 23rd, Ripples on the 26th, Rickys the 27th, and the shark club on the 28th. 10.
