Arkansas is really, really nice. Its got the nature feel.

II know very, very little about the ukulele, but I actually grew up playing the viola from 4th grade through high school.

I like watching sports. I like going to sports games and that's kind of my life during football season for sure.

For me, I feel like I relate to a lot of people.

I think America sees someone like myself, and they see it's not just a voice. It's the musicality of it all. People see that you can play an instrument and think you can immediately write songs.

The only thing that I really want to do is just be respected in the music industry... And whether that means selling albums or winning Grammys or people just liking your music, thats what I really want to do.

I feel like I see life differently. I see it as this amazing challenge that I look forward to every day. I never used to see life as that. It used to be just this thing you went through and had a good time. Now I have responsibilities to myself, my family, my fans that I have to uphold. It's more exciting this way and way more rewarding.
