I remember my mom dressed like Janis Joplin.

I grew up with all kinds of music, but my heart was particularly drawn to Country Music because of the guitar playing, the lyrics and of artists like Steve Warner and Vince Gill.

Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.

I'm an entertainer. If people are paying good money for tickets they deserve the best show they can see. I don't get into lighting stuff on fire, but I do believe in going the extra mile.

Both of my parents were musicians.

There are many people that struggle and struggle and have all the talent in the world, but for some reason they are not successful. You never know why those things happen.

I've never really been a traditional country kind of guy. I wanted my music to sound more like the end of the '90s and to have the kind of great music, pop or whatever, that radio will embrace.
