You gotta *be* country music - you can't just sing it.

'Something More' is a song that I wrote not necessarily about country radio, more so about a lot of songs that were being pitched to me. I wrote that after song after song after song was just the same song, just a different melody, so I was just looking for something more to put on the record.

My favorite type of music to sing is country, and my favorite type of music to listen to is country.

I don't speak Spanish. I've done Spanish 1 and 2 classes. My grandma asked me when I was young if I wanted to learn Spanish, and I guess I was young. I should have, because it would have helped me a lot.

I'm a pretty low-key North Carolina boy. I like to go fishing and hang out with my friends.

That's the last thing I want to do is go on up there and mess up, you know, in front of America.

I wanted to have more songs with religious backgrounds. The Christmas record has strong, traditional hymns, but it also has a song called 'Christmas in Heaven' about missing someone that you love that's passed on, and wondering what's going on up there on Christmas.
