The 5 Questions We Ask Everyone: Singer, Caitlin Crosby

By CC Staff

After stumbling across Caitlin Crosby’s music online, I have to give a big shout out to the boys over at Google. Had it not been for their little idea in a garage so long ago, I may never have been introduced to this talented girl and her unique sound. A sound that I seriously can’t get enough of.

Caitlin isn’t like most artists out there right now. First of all, she writes her own music. And she’s really good at it. Her songs are full of thought and ideas that you don’t normally find in an MP3. They make you happy, they make you sing, and they make you think. She also happens to be an incredible role model for all women, making it her goal to get all of us to love ourselves as we are.

I’ve pretty much fallen head over heels for this girl, so I was jumping for joy when she agreed to sit down and share her story with CollegeCandy. Get to know her a little bit, listen to her music and you’ll be playing her songs on repeat, too.

5 questions we ask everyone:

1.    What is your most ridiculous college memory/most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?
My old car braking down and having gang members help my girlfriends and I out. It was fun and scary at the same time. We took pictures. My mom still looses sleep over the story.

2.    Five things you can’t live without
Morning cafe’s/Coffee, Mac laptop, Bioelements face wash, iPhone, and my parents.

3.    What’s your motto/advice you live by?
The main purpose of life is to love people. Whatever that means to you.

4.    Your favorite song to belt out at the bar/in the car/for karaoke?
Baby Got Back.

5.    Ten years from now you will be….
Still making music and the world a better place!

5 Questions Just for Caitlin:

1.    Tell us about LoveYourFlawz.com. Why is that so important to you?
The LoveYourFlawz.com project is so important to me because I think the media – as far as certain beauty magazines etc – sends out negative messages and shows us unattainable images that leave most people feeling insecure. I wanted to help people see that it’s who they are on the inside that makes them beautiful & special, and that it’s the imperfections and unique quarks that make us unique and cool…

2.    What has been the biggest moment of your career thus far?
Mmmm, probably flying home from my first tour. It felt so good to travel around with lots of new responsibilities and get to experience that lifestyle.

3.    With all the other female artists out there, what sets you apart?
I think what sets me apart is that I didn’t want to make an album full of love songs. I really have strong opinions and passions about serious issues in our generation and put all of those elements into the songs.  Hopefully it will not blend in.

4.    Trust me, it does not. I’ve been playing your stuff on repeat for 3 weeks now. I think my neighbors hate me. But anyways….You’ve been in the Hollywood scene your whole life – why did you choose music over acting?
I prefer the music world and writing songs because I wasn’t fufilled by reading other peoples’ lines from scripts and going on auditions all the time. I feel 100% me and creative with music – more free.

5.  You definitely seem like someone who needs to be free, and it’s easy to see that in your style.  How would you describe it? And how can I do it without looking like a poser?
I love funky bright mis-matched, sparkly, overly accessorized stuff. I love vintage and cheap finds, as well as anything from Urban Outfitters. Can’t go wrong there. Oh and borrowing from friends is always fun too! Rock your personal style by having fun with how you mix and match.
