The first weekend of Coachella takes place over Easter Weekend and if you can't be there or are anticipating what the next weekend will be like, you can listen for free via Youtube's channel! Although there are a number of great acts, we're excited for Radiohead (which will play on Fri of this week) as well as Kendrick Lamar on Sat.

We took a moment to chat with a fresh italian pop artist, Sejo whose debut single, "Too Young" has been playing on repeat in our studios whether we're traveling, trying new fitness methods and styling our celebs - we feel it's a song of the summer without a doubt! With such a catchy beat, we wanted to find out more about this new artist, her song and how she stays in shape as she is also a dancer! She also shared an exclusive video with us on some great ways that she keeps her physique to the tune of her new song of course!
ATHLEISURE MAG: Tell us about your music and when you knew that you wanted to be a performer/entertainer as I know that you are a singer as well as a dancer.
SEJO: As a little girl I was always fascinated by the artistic World. I started dancing at the age of 5 and singing when I was 16. However, it was when I turned 19 that I decided it would be my life and future.
AM: Tell us about your single, "Too Young".
SEJO: When I read the lyrics and heard the track I decided it was for me because it inspires a carefree happiness that you only have when you are young and happy, like dancing in the middle of the road and just enjoying yourself.
AM: How are the areas of health, fitness, and exercise important to your career?
SEJO: Sports and Fitness is important for everybody in any line of work and the best and easiest way to keep fit is to jog.

AM: How does doing this work into your music?
SEJO: Being a dancer (ballerina) and a singer, I am always on the move but with music and to music, so I enjoy every minute of my workouts and just love dedicating myself to a body and mind fusion which is absolutely invincible.
AM: Tell us about exercises that you do for strong arms, legs and abs that are perfect to stay toned.
SEJO: First of all, you must remember that muscle build-up and strengthening for a ballerina is always not just a dynamic, but an emotional situation, it is never just a repeat kind of workout. Talking of which exercises that just everybody can do for your arms, bending and stretching; for abdominal exercises, I prefer sit-ups and for the lower abdominals, leg lift-ups while lying down. For your legs, I just love doing squats, with or without weights.
AM: As a dancer, what are 3 energy foods that are a must that we should have on our list to stay healthy?
SEJO: During workouts, Ballerinas and athletes must never eat foods that would give them a sense of heaviness, while training, they must eat nourishing food such as dried fruit, especially almonds, apples and one or two squares of chocolate.
