Jason Mraz nabbed three Grammy nominations last week  for
"I'm Yours," but he's more than just the singer-songwriter
behind one of the year's most infectious hits.

Outside of music, he's become an accomplished photographer
and—ready for this?—an avocado farmer.

I caught up with the 31-year-old Virgina native earlier
today on his way to catch a flight from New York to Oslo,
where he'll be performing in tomorrow's Nobel Peace Prize
Concert.

Read on for what he has to say about getting the Grammy
news, working with Paul McCartney and David Archuleta and
his favorite way to eat avocados…

How did you hear you were nominated?
A guy walked into our dressing room after a gig in Florida,
with his BlackBerry ablaze, saying, “I have an
announcement.” It was about midnight, and I didn’t even
know that Grammy announcements were happening that day.

I spoke to David Archuleta the other day, and he told me
he'd love to work with you some day, but he thinks he has
some growing up and maturing to do before then.
I'd be happy to [work with him]…If Archuleta is a young
man who has that awareness already—that I have some
growing up to do—that's amazing. That awareness is the
first step. That's the first tool that one needs to be a
songwriter.

Who would you love to work with?
I'd really love to work with Willie Nelson, Neil Young or
Paul McCartney. Guys that are still making great records,
still making great songs.

You're up against McCartney for Song of the Year.
Maybe this will be my chance to meet him.

You had a one-night-only gallery exhibit last night in New
York of your Polaroid photography, and you just published a
book of the photos, a thousand things. What are you going
to do now that Polaroid's instant camera has been
discontinued?
I've started shooting digital and playing around with other
cameras. I'm okay with moving on. Polaroid has been my
companion for the last seven years, and it's certainly been
superfun, but I'm okay to let it go.

Now, let's talk about this avocado farm you own. How did
you end up with that?
I wanted to live out in the wilderness, and the little
country house I found just happened to be surrounded by
avocado trees.

Have you become an avocado expert?
I like to think so. I certainly know how to choose them in
a grocery store [laughs].

So, what's your favorite way to eat them?
I just like it straight up with lemon. Just cut it in half,
sprinkle some lemon on it, and down it goes.
