If you ever make the trip up to North Campus, be sure to keep an eye out for this one. But even if that’s one place on campus you hope to never venture to, don’t worry– you’re bound to see his name in lights soon enough.Â
Name: James Kilmeade
Year: Sophomore
Major: Musical Theatre
Hometown: Northport, New York
Relationship Status: Somewhere between dating and playing Xbox.
Fun fact: I used to be paid by Google for allowing ads on my Tumblr account. I literally had over 20,000 followers at one point—I call it the “dark days”.
Â
Her Campus: What would you say is your favorite music?
James Kilmeade: Anything acoustic—singer/songwriters like Ed Sheeran, Amy Winehouse, Sam Smith. Also, James Blake for sure.
Â
HC: Describe your dream girl for us.
JK: I wouldn’t say I have just one type. Definitely a good sense of humor is important, and also being very opinionated—I literally broke up with a girl once because she had nothing to say. And not afraid to embarrass themselves and do fun stuff. Honestly, if a girl burped in front of me, I would love it.
Â
HC: What’s the most challenging part of the music school?
JK: I’m taking four dance classes from 9 to 4:30 everyday and I’ve never had an experience like that before.
Â
HC: Where do you see yourself in five years?
 JK: Either LA or New York hopefully working in some type of performance job, making a name for myself.
Â
HC: As a Sava’s employee, give us your go-to entrée.
JK: I always go for the roasted chicken, but the open-faced s’mores are also unreal.
