I was a business major, but the more I played music and the more I got into songwriting, I realized this is what I loved, but I kept asking myself, 'Is this what I'm supposed to do - move to Nashville?'

I've always wanted to treat people the way I want to be treated.

When I left college, it broke my mom's heart, but I knew I had to be in Nashville. I knew that was the place you had to be in to become a better songwriter, and that's what I wanted to move there for and to ultimately get a record deal.

I try to live every day and realize that there are so many folks working hard to try to get to where I am and how fortunate that I am.

The older I get, the more special time with family gets.

The fans are always wanting new music, and with as much as I love to write, I might as well give them the music while I've got it.

I like my buddies to come out to shows on weekends, but they hardly ever get to any.

I wanna have the coolest merch.

I remember this song by Clay Walker that came out in the '90s called 'This Woman and This Man,' and it was about breaking up, loss, the pain of moving on, and my parents were just getting divorced at the time, so I listened to it over and over again.
