    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!! As a huge BTR fan, it´s so nice to see another rusher doing an interview like this one! Congrats, Kendall is amazing and so are you :) Good luck with your journalist career, love from Brazil!

      I've been listening to SO MUCH Heffron Drive recently. I would love to hear new music from them in the future!

      @@GeekingwithGabby Heee thanks for the quick reply! Well if I can geek on a little further: Kendall and Dustin did say there was a second album coming in December 2018 (ua-cam.com/video/KrQRWzX99-k/v-deo.html), but all I know from heffron drive after that is that on LinkedIn, Dustin listed his experience on Heffron Drive as ending in February 2019 and Kendall said in an IG live he hadn't been writing for Heffron Drive throughout all of 2019 - and instead writing his solo music such as the song Hollywood Has Been. So the question that's on my mind is: why did they change their plans for the second album? I wonder if you've wondered the same - maybe you get to ask him that in a future interview? :)

      @@grassrootsfilm That's good to know. I'll definitely consider it if I get a future interview. Although, most likely, I probably believe it was due to timing/life. Things happen and plans change. I definitely miss Dustin and it was weird not seeing him playing guitar with the guys on-stage during the acoustic portion of their set. Hopefully, they will find their way back around someday. If BTR can reunite, I think Heffron Drive can too.

    Kendall is such a nice, heart-warming person! I can't even imagine how nervous you must've been before this, and him being so pleasant about it must've been a huge relief. Loved seeing your dream come true. Also, I completely agree with him: you can go wherever you want to go, you're an amazing journalist.
    I enjoyed it so much I was almost disappointed when I didn't get to hear what he said at the end haha

      Thank you so much! I was absolutely shaking, but he was so sweet. I can only imagine how much worse it would be if I was interviewing him in-person. I hope this is just the beginning of the coverage I'll get to do for the band as they launch their new tour + album.

    So happy to see someone as crazy about BTR as me! Plz keep these interviews coming and hopefully you can interview all the guys together soon! Would really love to have more insight since i've been a fan from the start and a Rusher forever! So excited for this era 😍 Thank you for this!! Looking forward to more of that ❤

Huge Rusher and I've met Kendall/Dustin too so the fact that you did the interview with him for your article in your school's newspaper was not only cool and inspiring but also very interesting to see what Kendall has to offer in terms of what's next for him in his career to what he has done and more so thank you for doing the interview itself :D -LizzyMaslow_ aka Mythicallizzy

      Thank you so much for watching! I'm required to ask for pronouns by my news network. I was thinking about cutting the pre-interview questions before uploading this, but I thought it would be interesting for viewers to see the behind the scenes questions that journalists ask to make sure they are properly spelling/pronouncing their source's name as well as using proper pronouns. I'm glad that stood out to you!
