I Was Addicted To Playing Music.

Albums Are Chapters. They're Part Of A Story.

I've Always Been Shy, But I See That As A Good Thing Because It Kept Me Focused On Music. When I Was In Seventh Grade, I Asked My Parents For A Mobile Recording System For Christmas, And I Got It. I Didn't Come Out Of My Room For Years After That. I'd Get Invited To The Movies And I'd Say, 'i'm Gonna Finish A Couple Of Demos.'

All The People I Hung Out With Were Musicians.

When I Was In High School, I Had Binders With Pictures Of Tour Buses.

There Is A Bit Of A Movement As Far As Younger People In Country Music. That Is Cool Because People Are Saying Things Like, 'i Didn't Listen To Country Music Until So-and-so Came Along.' And I'm Like, 'yeah! Now You Know Why I Love It.
