I decided I was just going to sing the type of songs I gravitated toward and inspired me and moved me. I was going to let the people whose job it was to decide what places to put it, and let them do that. I'll stick to the singing part.

It's hard to believe the life that 'Someone Like You' has taken on. It's proof that people hunger for great songs - and they are open to different interpretations of songs they love.

I think every singer hears songs that make you want to sing them.

I really like singing, but coming from a small town like where I grew up, how do you start that journey?

I've never really gotten into the whole labels thing. There were times I would cover a pop song, and people would say 'You sound really country.' I gave up on that whole thing a long time ago.

There are very few people that I deal with from a business side that it's just strictly a one-sided business relationship. I think that's important.

I'm a worrywart, so I'm always a bit more stressed out than I should be or wish I was.
