<p><strong> ;Chris Trousdale is back! ; The talented singer, dancer, and actor is back on the scene. ; He was just recently seen as &#8220;Justin Starr&#8221; in Disney channel&#8217;s &#8220;Shake It Up.&#8221; ; We were able to reconnect with Chris while he was on a break back home in Michigan for the holidays. ; Find out what he thinks of Twitter, ; where he likes to shop, and what advice he has for you. ; Let&#8217;s jump in. ; </strong></p>



<p><strong>What have you been doing these past few years?</strong></p>



<p>I needed a break from the business, so I went to Michigan because my mom was actually diagnosed with skin cancer, but she’s doing great now. ; I came to help her out and stayed in Michigan for 3 years. ; I also helped open up this dance studio here. ; They had a studio but it was in a really bad building, an auto mechanic garage. ; I went to go take a class because I was itching to dance. ; They asked me to teach there and I thought ok why not! ; I actually helped them open up a new studio because they really needed one. ; So I did that while I watched my mom. ; Then I knew I had to go back to LA or NY. ; I had to get back into the business. ; I couldn’t stop doing what I love. It’s just in my blood. ; I auditioned for a few gigs and have a great management team, so things are happening again!</p>



<p><strong>How do you like L.A. vs. NY?</strong></p>



<p>It’s a totally different experience because you guys know that I’m a New Yorker really. ; Moving to LA was good, it was such a change of pace. I love it.</p>



<p><strong>The people are supposed to be laid back over there. ; Do you feel that way?</strong></p>



<p>I totally feel that way. ; The first week I was there, I went to Starbucks and I was thinking “wow this is taking a while.” ; Everyone was talking, just friendly conversation. ; In NY, it was “what do you want” and you have to be really quick. ; It’s so different, but I love it. ;</p>



<p><strong>Are you taking a break for Christmas?</strong></p>



<p>I came out to Michigan to spend Christmas with my family. It’s about 20 degrees here, very cold! ; We have about 4 feet of snow. ; I’m also just taking some time to think about my next moves in the business and what I want to do in the studio when I get back to LA.<strong> ;</strong></p>



<p><strong>What are song of your favorite Christmas songs?</strong></p>



<p>&#8220;Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,&#8221; &#8220;The Christmas Song&#8221; and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas.” ;</p>



<p><strong>We heard you have become tech savvy. ; How do you feel about that? ; Do you like it? ; Do you get to read and/or respond to the messages sent to you on twitter and facebook?</strong></p>



<p>Yeah I’m twittering! I love it. It’s a great way to connect. ; Tweeting is awesome. I just started my Twitter in December though and with me being out in Michigan, I don&#8217;t get a great signal so I haven&#8217;t been able to log on as much as I&#8217;d like to. I&#8217;m definitely going to tweet today though and apologize for going MIA for a little while. I want the fans to know that my twitter is twitter.com/officialcrt because there are a lot of other imposters out there. I want to say no no no that&#8217;s not me, I&#8217;m over here.</p>



<p><strong>Where do you shop for your clothes out there because we know you loved H&;M here.</strong></p>



<p>Oh that&#8217;s right, I loved to shop there. Right now I go to Melrose Avenue. I love the Beverly Center too. I get a lot of stuff online now because for me it just works best. I go to <a href="http://www.asos.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ASOS.com</a>. When I would visit Sweden, I used to go crazy buying there. I&#8217;m very used to the European brand. Skinny jeans are very big in America right now. I wear that, but I do mix it up a lot.</p>



<p><strong>Have you been back to NY since you left?</strong></p>



<p>Not really, I was only there last summer. I helped Claudia shoot a music video for Danny Aiello. It was called the “City of Lights” and another one that Danny remade called “Save the Last Dance for Me.” ; Claudia choreographed it and I actually danced in it.</p>



<p><strong>Did you record any songs yet for your album?</strong></p>



<p>Not really. I only recorded “Not Too Young” for Shake it Up. Other than that, I will get into the studio in January and start recording my other songs. They are off the chain, so good!</p>



<p><strong>Do you know when it should be out?</strong></p>



<p>I&#8217;m not sure. I want to finish it before I put a date on it but I&#8217;m hoping by the summer or early fall of 2011.</p>



<p><strong>You go through so many different stages of you life. ; Teens, early twenties and beyond. ; Now that you’re 25, what do you know that you didn’t know when you were 21?</strong></p>



<p>Dreams never end. ; They are always in you. ; The sky is the limit really. ; In my late teens and early twenties, it seems like there wasn’t much happening. ; I wish a little birdie came by and whispered in my ear, “you still have what it takes, don’t give up.” ; It has to all come from within you.</p>
