I'd like my writing to be recognized with a Grammy.

I'm not a Democrat, I'm not a Republican-I'm an American, I'm a human.

I think I'm no different from any artist in music. At least once, you want to see your name up on the top.

I recruited my dad to be my bass player and fired him on several occasions. He stayed on as a bus driver.

All I ever wanted to do was write songs and get on a bus and go play them for people.

In the first decade of my life, I came to know and love God, as I was raised in a Christian home and community.

It's a great feeling to be recognized by your peers. It's an even better feeling to be welcomed and accepted by country radio and its listeners. If desire is any part of this equation, then I'm a contender!
