I needed to be pushed as an artist and as a person.

It was satisfying to take a risk and see it pay off.

It sounds like a cliche, but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town, and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends, family, school, and church, and sports.

I didn't need more fame or money. I needed more heart.
