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'm not a photographer, so I need all the help I can get when it comes to make a picture look cool.

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

I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve, and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.

I have a string of competitiveness in me. It's really strange 'cause it's not something that I would even expect myself to have, but every now and then it kinda sneaks out, you know.

The rule of songwriting: say what you want to say, say it again, say it a different way, then say it again.

Albums are chapters. They're part of a story.
