Camp Rock 2: The Final JamSOUNDTRACK is AVAILABLE NOW! Be sure to check out “Fire” (performed by Matthew “Mdot” Finley and written by Dapo Torimiro & Lyrica Anderson and produced & mixed by Dapo Torimiro).
Dapo took a break from the studio this afternoon to attend the “2010 Teen Choice Awards Talent Swag Social” at the London West Hollywood (Hosted by California Queen and benefiting the “Children of the Night” charity)
Jennifer Tapiero (StarCam Host) chatted with Dapo about what it’s like working with Demi Lovato (and about Demi’s “new sound”), his song with Matthew “Mdot” Finley “Fire” in Camp Rock 2, what it’s like working with the hottest pop star in the world, Justin Bieber (“Bigger” & “Overboard”), how cool is Jesse McCartney and his new hot dance song, “Up”, on the Step Up 3D soundtrack & in the movie (Step Up 3D hits theaters today!), and what it’s like to write with American Idol sweetheart, David Archuleta. We’ll post the interview as soon as it becomes available!
Miss California Teen USA (Emma Baker) tried out her interview chops with Dapo and they realized they have “Nigeria” in common when she heard he was from Nigeria, she revealed that her father is from Nigeria! It’s an interesting story and you’ll have to wait until the interview is released! (We’ll post a link!) Oh, and this interview was shot in 3D!! Perfect timing since today Step Up 3D hits theaters nation-wide!!

We can’t get enough of these summer concerts recorded by fans and put on YouTube!! It’s one thing to record with an artist in the studio and then see the song on the cd… but nothing will ever replace a live performance with the fans cheering!! Here’s another recording of Jordin Sparks singing “No Parade” in her hometown, Arizona, on July 1st. (Oh, and check out how she makes sure one of the fans in the front gets water while she’s also singing. Now that’s talent with a heart of gold!) Enjoy!!
SHOUT OUT TO @_ItsMegan for recording this video! You rock Megan!!
