Country Music is great music because it really comes from real life experiences. It is such a great haven for reality.
I think some people record songs and make records a certain way to cater to radio. If you're born to make commercial music that's cool. But if you're born to not make commercial records, maybe you're meant to cater to another market.
Both of my parents were musicians.
What is nice about country music today is that most artists are not trying to do something everybody else is doing. They really are trying to develop their own uniqueness.
I grew up with all kinds ofmusic, but my heart was particularly drawn to Country Music because of the guitar playing, the lyrics and of artists like Steve Warner and Vince Gill.
We never really grow up, we just learn how to act in public.
I'd like to live day-to-day more than anything, but 10 years from now, if I could say anything, I'd hope to still be making great records.
My first hit was back in 1995. I am from Oklahoma and have been fortunate enough to work with a lot ofdifferent artists in the industry.
My greatest goal with each of my records is to really bless and encourage people andto maybe challenge them to think outside themselves.
We would have a session set up to do vocals and my nose would really close up and we'd have to stop and reschedule. We were wasting money. I had to go somewhere else where I could breathe.
There is not many tenors in the male category and that makes me stick out.
I'm an entertainer. If people are paying good money for tickets they deserve the best show they can see. I don't get into lighting stuff on fire, but I do believe in going the extra mile.
I want people to hear the presence of God in the music.
It's almost scary how good things are right now. I've been engaged now for about a year and it's the first time anything like that has happened to me.
