“TheCelebrityCafe.com: What made you decide to want to get involved with the Berklee City Music Network? And how did this partnership come to happen?

Kris Allen: I have been involved with the Music Empowers Foundation, and I have a good relationship with them. I met some of the people at the Berklee City Music Network, and it was kind of an amazing fit. Those kids are immensely talented. They had a lot of talent both on and off the stage, and there were so many songwriters and singers. And it was just great to be a part of that.

TheCelebrityCafe.com: Since you’re usually a solo artist, what was it like performing with the Berklee City Music All-Star Band?

Kris Allen: It was kind of funny actually. I have an amazing band that tours and plays with me, and it was almost like they were there. The kids were great. I think they practiced really hard. They liked the stuff and enjoyed playing my music. It was just an overall really cool experience.”
