Notable Guest Quotes

"I'm very proud of my father.  I love my father.  He's a hard-working businessman.  He made me the man who I am today.  So, I'm very proud of him."

"The music industry just has its ups and its downs, and it has its reasons why they don't want to pitch one song over another."

"I just feel that Spotify is just one other tool in a musician's arsenal... I use all forms of music media.  I think that's important, in my opinion, for every artist to use every tool in their arsenal."

"Every opportunity in this music industry is important.  And as long as you use it the right way and you work with the right kind of people, anything's possible."

"If it's country music it should represent the entire country.  It shouldn't just be limited to just the southern way of life and the southern people.  If country music were specifically for the southern people it would be called southern music... Country music should be for everyone of this country."

"I'm very grateful.  I live by a few mottos.  The first one is, one day you're eatin' chicken, the next day you're eatin' feathers.  Meaning, one day you could be playing this massive show and then the next day you'll be playing in the corner of a coffee shop playing acoustically.  So, I take every opportunity.  I never look down upon any opportunity that I get, no matter how big or small."

"I'm closer today than I was yesterday.  So I always think about that."

"When I write a song it's observational for me.  I just kind of observe things that happen to me in my day-to-day life."
