I was waiting to interview Chris Mann inside the back walls of the Grove in Los Angeles. When Chris came around the corner, I gasped, and then looked him in the eye and mumbled out "ummmm...wow....ummmmm...you are even better looking in person."

You see, this is how I roll. Ultimate fangirl moment. He laughed at me, and his publicist laughed at me, and then I had to gather my jaw off the floor so that I could do a proper interview.

Chris was in town to play The Grove summer concert series presented by Citi. The Grove is an awesome outdoor mall in the heart of Hollywood, and all of Chris' fans could attend for free. Tons of great artists have taken the stage this summer including Karmin, Juliet Simms and Jordan Sparks!

We had lots to chat about. After his successful run on The Voice, Chris recently signed with Universal Republic and made plans for a Christmas EP, and a full length debut record too!

He also is the only artist I know that would still wear a three piece suit in the middle of the scorching heatwave! Check out our interview!
