SA: Who's doing your vocals?

DA: That's me. That's the background vocal. And then the band members also sing, too. To give it more depth.

SA: Can you harmonize with yourself?

DA: Like by myself?

SA: No, like with that.

DA: Yeah, I mean I do... *sings* That's it.

SA: How does that work actually?

DA: I, what's funny is that I did back-up vocals for all the songs except the one's I wrote.

SA: You didn't do any for Zero Gravity?

DA: Oh, I did for that one.

SA: That's what I thought. With Storm somebody.

DA: Huh?

SA: With somebody named Storm. Or something.

DA: Yeah, he did most of them. Well, I only did a little bit of them, so it's weird. I only did... just a little bit.

SA: Why? Do you know why you didn't do the background vocals?

DA: 'Cause we didn't have time. There was absolut-- the songs that I worked on, I didn't get to work on my own songs until after the tour and after all the stuff that the label had me doing. So like I'd work on the song and then I'd go into another session and work on a song. And then those people would work on the song as I was working on another song. And then after that I'd go work on another song and record it as they were working on those two other songs. And I didn't really have time to really be a part of that.

SA: So how many of those ended up getting completed? Did any of them get started and trashed?

DA: Yeah. Like the song I wrote with Kara was put aside. And then the one I Eman and Lindy Robbins and Jess Cates was-- I didn't really do anything with them. I just watched. And everyone was brain dead, not just me. That's why that one just stopped totally.

SA: How does it work when you go into a songwriting session? Were you nervous when you went into your first one?

DA: Oh yeah. I wouldn't do anything. I was like there is no point in doing this, I can't write.

SA: How can you say that? You've written songs for a while now? When did you start writing songs?

DA: In ninth grade, I wrote like three songs. And then I never wrote since then. Like then I was brain dead.

SA: Which songs?

DA: There's one called You Alone, another one called Move On, and then another one called Falling.

SA: Which ended up on your album.

DA: Yeah. And I just, I don't know. That was weird because I didn't think that song was ready and it was kind of like a personal song, but I think it has touched people.

SA: Were you glad it ended up on the album then?

DA: It wasn't on the album.

SA: Well it's.. I'm sorry I'm in David Archuleta world. Of course it's on my album. It was released.

DA: Oh, well I guess, yeah.

SA: Yeah, I consider it was released. We were like-- the whole fanbase was really excited.

DA: Ohhh. But it's funny, yeah, I didn't do any back-up voc-- oh wait, I did the second verse, but that's the only thing I did for A Little Too Not Over You. *sings memories supposed to fade* So I did that. On Don't Let Go I didn't do anything. That was all JC.

SA: You sound like JC on that song. Has anyone ever told you that?

DA: Really?

SA: Yeah. The inflection in your voice -- it's pretty exciting.

DA: Really? That's weird.

SA: That's the first thing we noticed. Sometimes I think it's JC singing.

DA: Really, wow.

SA: Is that a compliment to you?

DA: Yeah, he's amazing.

SA: Was he fun to work with?

DA: Yeah, that was going to be the other songwriting session I was going to mention. Just 'cause it was so comfortable and it was like I was hanging out with my friends. It wasn't like-- we were at someone's house. We were at Jimmy Harry's house, so it didn't feel like pressure and it didn't feel like we have to write a song now. Even though it was six days before the deadline of the album. We had that pressure, but it was still really cool. It was like we'd take breaks. It's like "we're not coming up with ideas, let's take a break." And we'd take a break and then come back.

SA: So what's the last song you listened to on repeat?

DA: The last song I listened to on repeat. What do you mean?

SA: Like maybe you don't do this. But do you ever like a song enough that you put it on repeat?

DA: Yeah. "The Story" by Brandi Carlile.

SA: How long ago was that?

DA: A few nights ago.

SA: I'm going to ramble. I'm totally doing that with Amie, I can't say her last name. The "Snow" song. Yeah. Spell her name.

A-m-i-e space M-i-r-i-e-l-l-o.

SA: But you recommended that like months ago on your blog.

DA: And now she’s on tour! It’s weird. Yeah. I love her, I just love listening to her. It’s just like, ah! It’s so nice. Because I wanted to go to her concert before. So now that she’s doing a show –

SA: Have you ever considered writing with her?

DA: Yeah! I’ve already asked her. I was like, you know, I’d love to work with you. I’m such a fan. And she was like, Wow! I was actually talking about that with Jared – because we have the same manager, and the same label, I mean, what are the odds of that? She was like, yeah! I was talking to Jared and I thought that’d be cool. And I was just like, wow! I just love the way she writes. Her music has meaning behind it. It's not like, 'let's write a song. Let's see if we can get it on the radio and get lots of spins.' Her music has depth to it and it makes me wanna listen. You know what, yeah! There’s another song that I – wait, no, I wanna save that for, like, a song of the day.

SA: OK, I have kinda a weird question for you now. Which of these artists’ career would you most like to follow? Alanis Morrisette –

DA: I love her.

SA: Britney Spears –

DA: Wait, what are we doing?

SA: Which of these artists’ careers would you most like to have? Alanis Morrisette, Britney Spears, Michael Buble, Jack’s Mannequin –

DA: Heeeehhhh. I love Jack’s Mannequin. I love them. I Alanis Morrisette too, her music’s a bit more – I dunno. I just love Jack’s Mannrquin. But I love Alanis Morrisette too.

SA: Well, which career would you most like to have?

DA: I don’t know! I haven’;t done a lot of research with how people’s careers have gone.

SA: Do you prefer larger venues or small?

DA: I actually like smaller venues. Even though this was really special because it was a hometown crowd. I dunno. It was like, we were really complicated on what to do with this show. Because people were like, we want a Utah show, we want a Utah show! And we were like, Not yet. We have to wait. Because it wasn’t the right time, we felt. But there was a high demand because it’s my home. So we were like, should we do it at the Murray Theater? And we were like, no, the demand is too high. So we were thinking about maybe the Saltair? But that’s standing room, and Utah’s way different from any other crowd because it’s a lot more family oriented, because it’s like, this is my family, my home, like family state, so the crowd it gonna be more different from any other place. So we thought there were gonna be older people, too, and like younger kids, and we need it to be safe, so we needed a seating place. But then there was the Capitol Theatre, which wasn’t big enough. A lot of people wanted me to do the E Center, like the whole thing, but we were like, that ruins the point of the tour. But they were like, well, you can do it, though. And well, just because I can do it – just because you think I can do it – doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. So we just negotiated and decided to use half of it. And it’s still kinda more close-up feel. So I’m happy with it. The way this is. But I really like it when it’s just up-close.

SA: You like to reach out and touch people’s hands?

DA: Yeah!

SA: Do you like it when people pull you? Because some people don’t let go.

DA: Yeah, some people don’t.

SA: Have you seen the video of one of the Osmonds being pulled off the stage?

DA: No. Wow. I don’t think my fans are that crazy. My fans are a lot more friendly
