Chord Overstreet

“I write alternative, folkie pop. It's very acoustic.”

“I just want to be able to show my personality and let people get to know me.”

“My hair looks awful while wet, I will say that.”

“I'm a huge Neil Flynn fan.”

“I love John Stamos. John's a really friendly, cool dude.”

“'Hold On' is such an important song to me personally.”

“I would say growing up in Nashville has been a huge influence in my music. Growing up with my dad being a 2-time Grammy-winner, BMI songwriter of the year for five consecutive years in a row, and having the legacy he has is definitely a huge influence, too.”

“My dad knows great music. So I'm taking music to him to get an opinion rather than praise.”

“I can play the harmonica with my nose.”

“I think that as long as you stay true to you when you're putting out music, somebody's going to like it.”

“If I'm going to be on national T.V. without my shirt on, I've got to look good.”

“It's not weird being recognised, but it's weird having to stop what you're doing to take pictures or sign something. But the fans are the reason you have your success, so it comes with the territory.”

“I play the piano, drums, little bit of bass, guitar. I can play harmonica, a little bit of the ukulele. Pretty much anything that's a strumming, string type thing.”

“I learned so much watching my dad write songs and perform in front of thousands of people, and people were singing along to songs that I watched him write; it stuck with me.”

“I like to check out of reality for a little bit when I listen to music and kind of go somewhere, so I feel like the more broken-down acoustic songs tell stories to me the best.”

“All my favorite bands are the ones that push the limits and boundaries.”

“I learned so much from Jane Lynch. She was the funniest and most talented person. She taught me so much about being a performer.”

“I always wanted to be like my dad.”

“My dad had this old truck that he used to take on back roads and showed me how to drive when I was nine or ten.”

“I wanted to communicate how important it is to love on the people that are in our lives and to take every day with someone as a blessing.”
