“My dad had a guitar that he gave me. I went to Walmart and bought a chord chart and hung it up in my room, and I was just trying to figure out how to play the guitar and put words with what I was learning.”
“I like whiskey and I like vodka, too. And beer.”
“My dad is a preacher. Growing up, I went to church every time the doors were open.”
“As soon as I was old enough to move and walk, I went straight to sports. My mom said I never even played with toys.”
“There's a lot of things we go through and we don't even know why... At the end of the day, God has a purpose and a plan for you, and that's kind of how I take that.”
“Cutoff flannel and a mullet. That's what I'm rolling with. If you see me onstage, that's what it's gonna be!”
“It's cool to be able to relate to people who aren't necessarily from the same way of life as me or don't even maybe know what I'm talking about in some of my songs. It's just cool that music has that ability to do that.”
“From a young age, I took an interest in the music and my mom noticed it.”
“I still have my buddies from back home, I still have my family. They really help to keep me grounded. I try to call them and talk to them about their everyday life.”
“I didn't do anything but write for six months after I got my publishing deal. That was just trying to get better and figure out my sound and the way I like to do it.”
“I think Diplo is a true global artist. I feel that he is exposing country artists to his global reach and that's something that is rarely done in our genre.”
“I really got into Three Doors Down - that's the sound that was out when I was 12 or 13. I really loved Breaking Benjamin and bands like that.”
“I can't wait to get over to the U.K. for my first time ever. I've always heard how amazing the fans are over there - looking forward to experiencing it for myself.”
“I would play around bonfires with my friends, and people were telling me that I was good.”
“I've always liked all kinds of different types of music.”
“My whole life, baseball was my first love. I was gonna go play college, but during my senior year I tore my ACL, and college kind of faded away with their offer, which I understand, obviously. That was a dark time in my life.”
“I'm all for a good slow song and I love all different kinds of music.”
“My voice is obviously real southern - I automatically lean country.”
“I've established this kind of wild persona and these redneck party songs and a live show that's kind of rowdy, but I don't want people to think that's what I'm all about.”
“People aren't just listening to my single, but they are listening to the whole album - and that's really encouraging to me because you just never know what's going to happen when you put something out.”
