It's not just about waking up and trying to be a star... It's practice, practice, practice.

I'd like to expand on doing what I love and venture out a bit more. I would like to play consistantly good music. Eventually someday I would like to open up a school and teach kids about music.

Just practice hard and stay grounded. Treat people like you want to be treated and work hard.

I didn't have a lot to do with the first record.

I'm not trying to be evasive, but when I say yes and no, I say 'yes' because there are narrow-minded people that won't look past the logo and 'no' because 'American Idol' put me in front of millions of people and I would not have a career without 'Idol.

I was so happy and content with in life playing music. Music was always my first job and my day gig was my second job.

My lifes a wreck, and I love it.
