Singer-songwriter David Hernandez chatted with Digital Journal about his plans for 2017, and he remembers the late George Michael.
Hernandez has been thrilled with the success and fan reception of his inspirational single"Beautiful."
His plans for 2017 are to perform twice as many shows as he did the previous year, and he hopes to finish up his album. His New Year's resolutions are to "eat a little bit healthier" and "to meditate" more.
George Michael performed during Hernandez' season of American Idol, and Hernandez had the chance to share the stage with him as part of the Top 12. "There are so many things I admired about him. He was a trendsetter, and so influential in music. Growing up, my mother loved him and his music," he said. "I listened to him a lot, and everybody tells me that I sound like George Michael, and you don't realize that as a kid. He definitely was an idol of mine, along with Prince and David Bowie. They broke those barriers down."
