I listen to Lil Wayne, and then I listen to Merle Haggard.

I don't mind putting my heart out there for the audience, and for the country music fans... to be vulnerable with them... that's my job as an artist.

From an early age, I was infatuated with music. I always loved it and was always dancing or playing something.

There's certain songs that you're gonna record that you hope to touch people and change lives, and there's certain songs that you know that are not going to be that serious.

Guitar players never listen to lead singers.

I don't really listen to rap; I just like to rap.
