I haven't always been the guy that walks into a room and automatically the attention is on me. I'm normally the guy that stands off in the corner.

I love my boys. I love watching them growing up. I love seeing them develop, and I'm always looking forward to seeing what they're going to become and what they're going to be interested in later in life.

I love Tennessee, but they don't have the pine trees and the sandy soil and the black water that I grew up around.

Singing allowed me to express myself in ways that I wouldn't be able to do otherwise.

I didn't rebel in the way a lot of people do.

Don't let your children take priority over your marriage and your work and everything else.

There were only 75 people in my graduating class at the school I attended in Hannah, S.C. It was a small school and that translated into not a lot of opportunities when it came to music. We had academic and sports programs but we never had a consistent music program. We would have a band one year, and a chorus one year, but nothing ever lasted.
