Lil' Romeo recently released his third album, Romeoland, and he's got four movies due out soon! I sat down to talk to him - read what he has to say about his musical inspirations, b-ball, and his Honey co-star, Jessica Alba!

Sindy: Hey Lil' Romeo! How's it going?
Lil' Romeo: Good. How're you?

Sindy: Good! Thanks so much for taking the time out for this interview. I just want to start out by congratulating you on all your career successes.
Lil' Romeo: Thanks.

Sindy: So your dad is Master P, and your uncle is Silkk the Shocker. How has having family members in the rap industry influenced your career?
Lil' Romeo: Well, they influenced me a lot. My dad and my uncles used to always be in the studio at my house. Me and my cousins would see them make songs and we wanted to do it, so we would sneak into the studio while they were away on tour. We would make songs, and the producers said we should play it for my dad. I was kind of scared, I didn't know what to think cuz we were just joking around.

Sindy: Aside from Master P and Silkk, who're your musical inspirations?
Lil' Romeo: I like Alicia Keys. She's really talented and beautiful. And Nelly is talented.

Sindy: What's playing in your stereo right now?
Lil' Romeo: My new album, Romeoland.

Sindy: What can we expect from this album?
Lil' Romeo: It's for everybody to listen to, from kids to adults to teenagers. They're songs that make you think about life.

Sindy: What's been the coolest experience in your career so far?
Lil' Romeo: Probably performing in the Bahamas. I had probably 15,000 people at my concert. It was a beautiful place, and I went waterskiing.

Sindy: What's been the weirdest fan experience?
Lil' Romeo: I have a lot! Once when I was at Newark Mall, me, my friends, my cousin, and my bodyguard were shopping and looking for suitcases cuz we had all these clothes. On our way out, two girls started whispering. The next thing we know, we had at least 200-300 people walking behind us, like the whole mall! And then my bodyguard said, "Run!" and we ran to the car and they started running after us. It was like a movie. I had to hop through the car window cuz the door would not open!

Sindy: What sort of image do you try to portray to your fans?
Lil' Romeo: I just always try to be me.
