Nick Jonas on solo career plans: 'I don't want to be limited in my artistry'

Singer Nick Jonas has opened up about his solo career and the aspirations he has, and confessed that all he wants is to be able to continue to release albums and act simultaneously. 

During an interview with Time.com, the heartthrob explained that it's important to him to remain available as a performer not just in the music world because he loves acting as well as singing, so wants to be free to involve himself in various projects as and when opportunities arise:

"My goal is to be the kind of performer that can be in movies and television shows, like the show 'Kingdom' I'm doing now. Be in that and have a career in that, but also do my music. Both are a form of my artistry and it's a shame that sometimes you're limited to one. A lot of people feel like you have to focus on one at a time, but I want to be greedy and do both. I hope I can."

The 'Chains' hitmaker went onto add that Elvis Presley is a great source of inspiration to him and he hopes to enjoy a similarly fulfilling career: "I look at people like Elvis, who did both, and it was amazing. There's a million examples of people who have made the transition from one to the other, but I'd love to be able to do both and make an impact in both."
