I started playing guitar, like, when I was 17 or so, but where I'm from, you just don't hear about people moving to Nashville and making it. It was such a foreign thing to me. I never knew music was an option for me.
I'm treating country music like it's a sport. I'm looking at where my competition is and realized I needed to work on my songwriting.
I'm depressed when I don't get to do music. Having to go back to doing something I don't like and am not passionate about would be a tough thing.
Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there's so many different experiences.
To hear people saying, 'The music you are doing has really touched my life and it's moved me in a lot of ways. It's helped me get through some tough times.' That's the best compliment that you could get.
People ask who I am as an artist, who I am as a person. I don't ever want to tell them who I am; you can find that out in the music.
All I can do is focus on staying true to the style of music I write and sing because that is the only way it's going to come off as honest.
