Wetpaint caught up with Kat Graham recently where she talks about her new music career and balancing that with The Vampire Diaires.

Wetpaint Entertainment: How do you balance your music career with your acting career? Is it hard?

Kat Graham: Yeah which is why I’m glad that we’re going on a hiatus because I’m like, “Oh my gosh. This is really crazy!” I try not to balance it. I try and just do one at a time. I really do. I don’t think it’s fair to my acting and I don’t think it’s fair to my music and I just need to focus on one thing and be great at that. They say you can’t be great doing multiple things simultaneously, you have to pick one and focus on it, which is what I’ll be doing all summer.

Are they both as equal of a priority to you?

Yeah. I’ve been doing acting since I was 6 years old and I don’t know how to do anything besides act and sing, Back in the day you had to do it all — you had to sing, dance, and act. I’m from the old school where that is what I was trained to do and that’s what I am expected to do so it’s weird when people ask me to choose.
