Bobby Long Talks Robert Pattinson

Musician Bobby Long got signed this year and is set to release his debut album A Winters Tale on February 1, 2011.  In the video, he talked about how the album came about, his involvement with Twilight and Robert Pattinson.

I met my friend Rob, he was a musician too. He was hanging out with a few of his other friends who are musicians as well. I became friends with them and for the first time I felt like I’d made friends similar to myself.
Rob ended up being an actor and stuff, we co-wrote this song and he took the song to the producers, and I thought “oh cool” and didn’t really think about it. It went in and it was far bigger than I thought it was. The film was Twilight…
It was kind of ridiculous, and I was suddenly getting like, two thousand plays on myspace. I was getting from twenty a day to two thousand a day and it was all kind of kicking off as a musician. I was unsigned and in London and I still can’t put my finger on it, I don’t know why I got so exposed at that time. Suddenly I got “Do you want to go to America, please come to Kentucky, please come to Canada, please come to Hawaii.” I think it was just their own want to know everything about this film and I was tied into that,  it escalated when I went over and played so much.
