Tobias Jesso Jr. on Adele co-sign and Taylor Swift rumors

Billboard has just released an interview with next big act, Tobias Jesso Jr.

The 29-year-old Canadian is selling out shows on his national tour, drowning in critical praise, getting co-signs from both A-list stars like Adele and the hipster set, and just signed a major publishing deal. So what's all the buzz about?

Tobias has had a few endorsements from top artists, but the top co-sign came on Jan. 21, when Adele tweeted that "How Could You Babe?" was "fantastic." "Since my first interview, I've been saying how much Adele's music meant to me," says Jesso. "My jaw just dropped."

Even though Tobias is in fact single, tabloids have linked the singer to Alana Haim of "HAIM", and rumored Jesso dumped Alana for her friend Taylor Swift. On the rumors Tobias says, "Alana is one of my best friends. I went to a Grammy party with her and met Taylor, who can give someone a hug and it's a new-couple alert."
