In the Studio with Julianne Hough

The "Dancing with the Stars" champ talks to ET about her passion for country music.

 

After winning the "Dancing with the Stars" championship, JULIANNE HOUGH headed to Nashville to record her first country music album, which will be released on the Mercury Records label.

"I have written some songs, but I am not sure how many of them will make the album," the 19-year-old beauty tells ET. "I have always wanted to write, and never knew how to start …or finish for that matter. I have been writing with my sister. She lives here in Nashville. We might have one or two on the album, but a lot on the next one."

The album will be a family affair with her sister as a co-writer and her brother DEREK, who placed fourth on "Dancing with the Stars" this season, singing backup vocals and more.

"There is this one song, 'Dreaming Under the Same Moon,' that [producer] DAVID MALLOY and my sister wrote," Julianne fills us in. "My brother Derek is going to be singing on one of the tracks. He is actually going to be singing a whole verse!"

Julianne credits FAITH HILL, SHANIA TWAIN, MARTINA McBRIDE and FERGIE as her inspirations, although she says she loves all types of music.

So, how will she react the first time she hears a song of hers from her as-of-yet untitled album played on the radio?

"I can't even imagine what I would do because I am crazy," she admits. "I would probably cause an accident. I would call my family first. I would start crying. I don't think I would be able to stop smiling."
