I Am A Huge, Huge Ronnie Milsap

My First Instrument Was An Accordion. Growing Up In Louisiana, My Grandmother Gave Me An Accordion Because Of Our Cajun Heritage.

I Always Loved Leann Rimes And Especially Clint Black For His Soulfulness. As I've Gotten Older, My Influences Have Broadened - John Mayer, Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughn, The Beatles - All Of These Artists Have Somehow Been A Part Of My Development As A Songwriter.

I Write For Myself. I Don't Write Because I Have A Record Coming Out. I Write Because I Want To. I Need To.

I Used To Think There Was A Scientific Way To Do Things. Like A Proper Way To Answer A Question Or That Kind Of Stuff. It's Like, There's Not! There's Not A Method, There's Not A Science To It.

I Hope People Half My Age And Twice My Age Will Listen To My Music - I Want It To Live Forever And For My Audience To Feel Like They Have A Friend In My Music. Music Is A Spirit. It Heals. It's An Amazing Thing To Be Loved And Appreciated, And Sometimes, Music Has Not Just Been My Best Friend, It's Been My Only Friend.
