Johnny Orlando Opens Up About Writing His Own Music with RAW

Johnny Orlando puts his boxing gloves on and takes his shirt off in this new shot from his feature with RAW Pages.

The 15-year-old singer opened up with the online glossy about his start, his upcoming music and more. Check it:

On writing his own music: “I do write my own music now. For the past year I’ve been kind of collaborating with a bunch of people, and before that Darian was the main person that wrote the music because I was just an L.B., little boy. So yeah, I didn’t really write too much but now I do! And my favorite places to write are in the studio and also just in my bed.”

On growing up with a lot of sisters: “It was really hard because they always go out of their way to annoy me…even now! Thanks, Darian, and she’s sitting over there. She’s one of them. (laughs) But I love them. I love them dearly. (laughs)”

On his Justin Bieber covers: “The first one that we ever put out was called ‘Mistletoe’, it was by [Justin] Bieber and we were pretty bored. We had nothing to do and just started to make music I guess and put it on the internet (laughs), but the first one that started gaining some traction was probably ‘Boyfriend’. We did that about six months later and it actually got on Ryan Seacrest’s ‘Bieber Off’ contest, and it was really, really cool experience. We didn’t win the contest but we came close, and he also said my name on air so that’s pretty cool too.”
