Anyone who tells you they're not nervous playing on the CMAs stage, I'm afraid they're not telling you the whole story.

Singing live is my favorite. When people sing along to your songs, the circle is complete.

There's a lot of people I'd like to write with, like Keith Urban or even as far out as Stevie Wonder.

I'm naturally shy, so the social media thing is new to me. I haven't really figured out how my voice sounds on social media, you know? I don't want to tweet everyday just for the sake of tweeting. I want to make sure whatever I do there is honest. Social media can very quickly get fake, and I don't want to be that guy.

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.

When I was in high school, I had binders with pictures of tour buses.

Like a wave on the ocean I will always come right back to you.
