Quotes

“I love an imperfect rhyme.”

“Tragedy levels the playing field.”

“Family is first for me.”

“My music is just about that bounce and getting everybody moving.”

“In my opinion, my business runs better when my family is a part of it, and I get to see my wife and kids; that makes me a better artist.”

“Sometimes when you belt, it kinda makes the song more dramatic than it really needs to be. There are certain songs that you hear, and you’re like, ‘Wow, he’s singing about his girlfriend, but he sounds kinda mad the way he’s yelling, ‘You’re so pretty!””

“When I lost my first record deal, my wife and kids and I lost – I wouldn’t say friends, but – we lost a lot people around us. They just vanished! They were nowhere to be found. I couldn’t get a break, and I couldn’t get people to even respond to my emails about songs, no matter how good something was.”

“I want to be something that the listeners might not know that they needed but that I fill a lane and that they enjoy it for a while.”
