After months of researching the whereabouts of the Artist and Alien known as BOYPOP, we finally found him... and he is absolutely out of this world! In this once in a lifetime interview, we get a sneak peak inside the home and mind of BOYPOP (and BoyPup) from Planet Pop to learn all about the extraterrestrial tunes he is bringing to Earth.

Enjoy this in-depth chat with an Alien as we uncover the real reasons the human race hasn't been invaded yet, the types of foods and drinks available in space, and the powerful (and incredibly important!) role that music plays in all of our lives.
