UM Interview: Preston C Howell
Tumblr media
South Florida native Preston C Howell has a big heart and a lush, agile voice that demonstrates effortless beauty. Inspired by his father who was the first person to introduce him to music, Howell took his love of music and shared it with the worldwide stage. The South Florida Native was part of Season 17 of NBC’s television show,The Voice where he was mentored by iconic soul artist John Legend. Following his experience on the show, Preston joined nationally-renowned “Acapop! KIDS,” an elite group of talented youth singers formed by Grammy-award winning Pentatonix creators Scott Hoying and Ben Bram. On June 19th, Preston released his new single “Supply and Demand” as part of the Leave on the Light campaign, to bring awareness towards mental health among teens. 
Amandah Opoku sat down with Preston to talk about his new single “Supply and Demand”, his experience on The Voice and more!
Amandah Opoku: Hi Preston, thank you for doing this interview with UMusicians! What is one new song you’ve discovered in the last few months that you love!  Preston C Howell: Homeage, that song takes me to another world and I love songs that I can just vibe with.   
AO: What inspired you to pursue a career as an artist?  PCH: My dad was the first person in my life to inspire me since he loves singing so much and I grew up listening and copying him.  When my mom realized I could sing she put me in classes for musical theatre and dance.  The more experience I had, the more opportunities I got and ultimately it was my time on the VOICE that made it clear I didn’t want to do anything else. 
AO: Who would you say inspires you musically?  PCH: For a long time it was the classic guys, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis I love their music.  In today’s time I am definitely inspired by artist like John Legend, Shawn Mendes and Justin Bieber and can only wish to someday have the same platform to share my music.    
AO: You were a contestant on Season 17 of NBC’s The Voice with John Legend as your mentor. Why did you decide to try out for the show?  PCH: It’s always been a family favorite to watch.  I always love new experiences and when I was old enough and they were doing an open call in Miami (which is where I am from) I decided to audition even if it was just for the experience 
AO: What did you take away from your experience on The Voice and how has it prepared you as you pursue your career in music?  PCH: Because I love all kinds of music, while on the show, I was still figuring out exactly what genre I wanted to pursue.  The Voice showed me all the possibilities and made me realize some of the things I needed to do to make a music career a possibility.  
AO: While you were on The Voice being mentored by John Legend, what is one piece of advice that you were given that you’ve taken away?  PCH: To connect to the song more. I have always focused on performing and making sure I sounded “good” he helped me focus on understanding the lyrics I was singing and personalizing with the song 
AO: “Supply and Demand” is your new single which was released on June 19th. What inspired the song?  PCH: I was inspired to sing the song when the songwriter Bcuz asked me to be the face of the campaign Leave on the Light.  He wrote the song during a very hard time in his life while he was living in his car.  He has been open about his mental health struggles and the lyrics are meant to reach out to anyone who may feel alone and to show them that we all need love and we all have it to give.  
AO: What was the writing and recording process like for “Supply and Demand”? PCH: From what bcuz, the writer, has told me the main part of the song was actually written at a stoplight in Pompano Beach Florida.  He had been living out of his car for 2 years and actually had an entire studio built into his car so that he could record.  He was driving and the melody just came to him.  It’s quite amazing.  He was working, but had a goal to save up enough money so that he could push out this campaign to raise awareness for mental health and suicide prevention.  As far as the recording of the song, we spent the day in a studio in Miami (AudioVision Studios) and what was awesome is Bcuz and the producer Meggastan wanted me to make the song my own. I loved the vibe already, but it was great to be able to input my ideas.   
AO: “Supply and Demand” is featured on a compilation album called ‘Leave On the Light’, named for and released by the eponymous movement for mental health awareness and teen suicide prevention. Why was it important for you to release the single in conjunction with this movement?  PCH: I have many friends who have shared their struggles with mental health and just overall I know people who don’t always feel like they are enough. Music speaks volumes and connects with people so when I was given an opportunity to not only release my first single but also have it associated with true meaning and lyrics that could potentially save someones life, I knew this was a great project to get involved with.  
AO: Apart from releasing music for your solo career, you are also part of “Acapop! KIDS” which was formed by Grammy-award winning Pentatonix creators, Scott Hoying and Ben Bram. How did you become a part of the group? I auditioned initially virtually and then in person.   PCH: I love Pentatonix so when my mom and I received notice that the lead singer was forming a kids group and I was in the perfect age range, we both knew this was meant to be.  Because my voice was already changed and on the lower range, I was cast as the bass of the group.  I have been told it is very difficult to find a kid bass and it has been such an amazing learning experience to learn from  the creative directors and arrangers Ben Bram and Shams Ahmed.   
AO: As you pursue your music career as both a solo artist and with “Acapop! KIDS”, what would you say is the biggest challenge you faced? What have you found most rewarding?  PCH: The most challenging for sure is always making sure to balance out my kid life with my music life.  I don’t want to look back and regret missing out so my parents have been great about helping me stay balanced.  The most rewarding is by far when I get to perform LIVE for audiences and to see their reactions and vibing to the music I really love that from the audience.   
AO: For a new fan that may across your music on digital music platforms, what do you want them to take away from your music?  PCH: I want them to get lost in the music and the lyrics and to feel overall loved and needed.  I hope that this leaves them knowing they are enough and special. 
AO: With “Supply and Demand” out on all digital platforms, what can we expect from you the rest of the year?  PCH: I am slowly but surely working on writing my own music, but meanwhile continuing to explore and work with other songwriters.  
AO: Preston, thank you for sitting down with me to do this interview! Before you go, is there anything you’d like to say to your fans and our readers? PCH: Thank you for taking the time to read this, i am so grateful to have the best fans everrr

@elenatria I watched A Tiger’s Tale earlier today.  Thank you for sending me that video!  I was surprised by how much I liked the movie.  You’re right that Billy doesn’t have a big role in it, but any Billy appearance is something to look forward to.
