Cody Simpson Wants 'To Be Like' Justin Timberlake

Cody Simpson, the young Australian pop singer used to be just like any normal kid. He went to school, was on the swim team and enjoyed life in Australia. Fast-forward two years and the young teen heartthrob was discovered on YouTube, hooked up with Flo Rida for his first single, "iYiYi," just released his second EP, Coast to Coast, and is now putting the finishing touches on his debut album. Not too bad for a 14-year-old.

Even though people have already begun to compare the teenager to another young star, Justin Bieber, Simpson says his sound is all his own with maybe some of his favorite artists thrown in.

"I'd call it a Justin Timberlake mixed with Jack Johnson sort of vibe. There's a bunch of songs on there that are sort of like that," he said. "Jack Johnson is an inspiration of mine. He's someone who definitely influences at least two songs from the EP."

The similarities to a young Timberlake are pretty clear, with his wavy blond hair, killer smile and songs that make young girls swoon. And it seems that Simpson is just fine with being compared to one of his idols.
