I think every artist wants to have that 'Grammy award winner' tag in front of their name.

Records are one thing, and obviously, without hit songs, you don't have the opportunity to do your shows. But my live show has always been my selling tool.

I had an opportunity to play baseball in college, but I just didn't want to go to school. I started focusing on my music and it was game over!

As a new artist, you come out, and there are so many other new artists. It seems like there's a whole wave of new artists that come along every year. In '05, I was part of the crop. It was a lot harder trying to set myself apart from the rest of the pack.

I'm a country boy. I'm from Georgia.

I try to record music that people can relate to.

I know I'm not gonna please everybody when I make a record. I don't let that affect any of my decisions.
