If I Wasn’t Making Music I Would

In 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, There Was A Teenage Girl Who Was Pregnant With Her Second Child. She Was A High School Dropout And A Single Mom, But Somehow She Managed To Make A Better Life For Herself And Her Children. She Encouraged Her Kids To Be Creative, To Work Hard And To Do Something Special. That Girl Is My Mother And She's Here Tonight. And I Just Want To Say, I Love You, Mom. Thank You For Teaching Me To Dream.

Louisiana Is A Place That You Escape, Not A Place That You Leave.

Music Should Never Be A Job. It Should Be Your Hopes, Your Dreams And Everything You Believe In.

I Kinda Have The Opposite Of Add. I Have A Hyper-focused Disorder, Where If There's A Given Task In Front Of Me I Really Concentrate On That.

I Like To Employ The Power Of No. We All Want To Say Yes, Because With Yes Comes So Much Opportunity, But With The Power Of No Comes Focus And Engagement.
