I'm not here to change the music world, but I'm definitely here to show what I can do and express myself through my music.

I like that I stand for something like American Idol which helps musicians and artists get out there. It's important to have shows like Idol because it's so hard to get into the music industry nowadays - nearly impossible.

I will always appreciate 'American Idol,' and I never forget about where I come from.

I overthink a lot of things.

I'm the first one to admit, I'm a pretty unorthodox guitar player.

Some people take pictures, I write songs.

I know what it's like to be shoveling to pay bills. I know what it's like to not have a job.
