Interview with Fritz Hager

We had the pleasure of interviewing Fritz Hager over Zoom video!

Fritz Hager released his latest single "Caroline” on Friday, January 12th. The song followed the release of Hager’s self-titled EP, which hit #1 on the pop charts, and his top 5 single “Hearts Align,” which he performed on Kelly and Ryan. Here’s a teaser of the lyric video that will be accompanying “Caroline.”

Hager grew up a typical preacher’s kid, not just in the pews but in the stands with the choir. It was there that he developed his voice, and in sixth grade he picked up his first guitar and started writing, influenced by his heroes AC/DC, The Killers, Oasis, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, and John Mayer. He took a mental health hiatus after dropping out of college, which proved to be a period of growth and creativity, but like all people during the pandemic, he was faced with the choice of either putting his career on hold or indulging his dreams by whatever means possible. This led to his audition for American Idol, where he became a fan favorite, peaking at Top 5.

Since then, Hager has taken to the road, performing alongside Maddie Poppe and Leah Marlene, and embarking on the all-Idol “Don’t Blink Tour.” He’s also been hard at work in the studio, with his new single “Caroline” telling the fictitious story of a one-night-stand, a sitcom-esque drama wherein the male character forgets the name of his heroine acquaintance. "I write for two reasons,” Fritz comments, "to bring sincerity into the mainstream—making observations about the world, personal struggles, universal struggles—and escapism, which is to simply zone out and have fun. There’s a need for both, and I like finding the balance.”
