While the whirlwind pace of the last year is evident in Phillips voice, he does seem to exude a confidence and maturity that is disarming for someone so young.
Phillips said he likes to meet with people while he's out on the road and often tries to mingle with them and talk if he can. He is fully aware people are curious about him, and he can relate to how they feel.
“
Before the show yesterday with Matchbox (Twenty), there's some people outside, you know. I'll have a talk with them,” Phillips said of meeting with fans. “
As long as they're not too crazy, I can talk with them and kind of just chat a little bit,” he added. “Try to get to know them a little bit while I can. Because, you know, they just want to talk with who they look up, too. I'm the same, ... we're all the same way. We want to talk to artists or whoever they are, actors, whoever it is, you want to talk with them and just kind of get to know them a little bit.”
