I believe when you meet the right person it clicks, and you both know and you start making it work, you know?

I was addicted to playing music.

I'm from Louisiana, and that's where I got my start, in Cajun music. There's a huge music scene down there centered around our culture. Those are people that are not making music for a living. They are making music for the fun of it. And I think that's the best way I could have been introduced to music.

I don't believe in making a record and rushing it.

All I knew when I moved to Nashville was that I wanted to make music in whatever shape and form I could.

Yes, I did lock myself in my room for about two years and write some songs and things like that. But I don't feel like I missed out on a whole lot.

The stage is my comfort zone, and playing live is what I've always wanted to do. It's why I want to do two hundred dates a year. I wouldn't feel that way if I were nervous onstage.
