Mitchel Musso ’shouts it’ on stage at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Saturday night (September 19).

The 17-year-old musician recently caught up with the Charlotte Observer while on his tour and dished on dream collaborations, big bro Mason Musso, and how music has always called to him. Check it:

On his dream collaboration: “(I’d love to do) a T.I./Justin Timberlake kind of thing. Maybe Aerosmith.… That’s one of my favorite groups of all time.”

On working with brother Mason of Metro Station: “Whenever I thought of my dream duet, it was with Mason. That was my number one, always. I was so excited that I got to do that on my first album. Metro Station has that hit ‘Shake It.’ We figured ‘Shout It’ and ‘Shake It’ – that made sense.”

On the importance of music in his life: “Music’s always been a huge part of my life. I started when I was six on grand piano. Then I got my first Gibson guitar when I was 10. When I was 13, I got my first Pearl master drum set. Music was my life, but acting was a little easier to get into.”
