The more country that my music gets, the less it fits into the country world today. It's almost like there needs to be two genres, modern country and... country?

Say what you think / Love who you love.

Just do something that makes you stand out. Even if not everyone likes it, just do it.

Different people have different ways of doing things. For me, becoming a songwriter first and falling in love with the Nashville songwriting community and the process of songs and getting better and putting more in what I wanted to say, was absolutely vital in me even wanting to be an artist.

A lot of times, Im singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.

Really connecting with someone and maybe opening their mind a little bit, is such a cool thing to be able to do through music.
