Excusively for this site..conducted on April 2, 2004

1. " The Wade Robson Project " has now made you a huge, household name and pulled you into the harsh glare of Hollywood's spotlight. Do you feel more comfortable being the "front man", or do you prefer being the behind- the- scenes guy?
I enjoy being behind the scenes much more

2. Your tribute to your mentor and close friend, Michael Jackson, on the show's finale was an absolute thriller and was incredibly moving! Do you know if Michael watched the show? If so, what did he think?
I think he did we contacted his office and told them about it and
they said that they were going to tell Michael to watch it.

3.  Since the WRP won't be returning to MTV for a second season, what can your fans expect to see you involved with next?  Any chance you might head into the studio and lay some of your killer mixes down?
Im concentrating on music and films. I am writing a short film that
I will direct and film within the next couple of months. I am also
working on a stage show based on the meaning of dance.

have been by myself
