Nick Jonas Says Gabrielle Giguere Has ‘A Clear Vision’

Jonas produced the song ‘My Time’ for the 14-year-old Quaker Chewy Superstar Search winner. By Jocelyn Vena Nick Jonas Back in June, Nick Jonas told MTV News he was looking for the next Willow Smith or Greyson Chance when he teamed up with Quaker Chewy Superstar Search . Well, now he’s found that person in 14-year-old Gabrielle Giguere. “It was an exciting process, picking the winner,” he told MTV News. “Basically, we narrowed it down to 35 of the best videos, and I chose my favorites, and then we made it a top five. And from there, America voted, and Gabrielle was our winner. And I’m so pleased, and getting in the studio with her was so amazing and crafting a song to her voice was a great experience.” Jonas, who has previously written tracks for Charice and Demi Lovato, said working with the Florida native proved to be quite a fruitful experience, resulting in the catchy, electronic pop tune “My Time.” Giguere not only walked away with the Jonas-produced track, but also an online music video, a contract with Jonas Group Management and $5,000 in cash. “It’s just been a really great time so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing where things go for her,” he said. “It was amazing getting in the studio with her. I think she had a clear vision of what she wanted to sound like, and she really wanted to be the best it can be.” So what does Nick think of all their hard work? “In my experience, I try and work specifically with the vocalist and try and figure out how they work and get the best result,” he said. “We had the time to do that, and I feel like we came up with a really great-sounding song.” Have you checked out Gabrielle’s song?

‘If we can find a young person who’s as passionate about music as I was then, we’ll be in really good shape,’ he says of Quaker Chewy Superstar Search. By Jocelyn Vena Nick Jonas Photo: MTV News NEW YORK — Wannabe pop stars between the ages of 8 and 14: Nick Jonas is looking for you. The youngest JoBro has teamed up with the Quaker Chewy Superstar Search , acting as a sort of talent scout. “I think the qualities that I’m looking [for is] somebody that can really take the songs and make it their own,” he told MTV News during a promotional event for the talent search, where he performed several songs from the solo album he put out last year . “It’s gonna be interesting to see what kinds of video submissions we see and the talent we’re looking at. I’m excited, ’cause if we can find a young person who’s as passionate about music as I was then, we’ll be in really good shape.” So what do you win if you’re handpicked by Nick to be music’s next superstar? Well, the chance to record a song produced by Jonas himself, an online music video, a contract with Jonas Group Management and $5,000 in cash. “I think for this particular competition, I have to keep it in the mind-set of young artists at this moment, so I’d say, like, somebody with the overall star power and star qualities of Willow Smith, with the artistry of a Greyson Chance , who is really talented, and then — I’m trying to think,” he said when asked what stars he’d love to combine to make the perfect superstar. When it was suggested someone like him, he laughed, “Like a really little Nick Jonas!” At this point, Nick, now 18, is a music-biz vet, so he has some advice for the lucky newbie: “The overall thing is to enjoy every step of the journey, because it really is a journey and things are always changing,” he said. “Enjoy that process, because it is a part of the growth.” What do you think Nick should look for in the next young artist?
