I'm Not A Photographer, So I Need

I Grew Up In A Fun-loving Environment - You Work Hard And Play Hard.

Meeting Stevie Wonder Was A Massive, Lifetime Achievement For Me. He's One Of The Sweetest People. I Sense A Kindred Spirit In Him, And I Hope He'd Say The Same. Actually, He Did.

I Started Writing When I Was Around 6. I Say 'writing,' But It Was Really Just Making Up Stuff! I Started Writing And Doing My Own Thing. I Didn't Really Know What A Demo Was Or Anything Like That, So I Started Getting Interested In Studio Gear And Started Learning About One Instrument At A Time. My First Instrument Was An Accordion.

When I Was 13 Or 14, I Took Seven Months Off From Touring. I Did A Lot Of Weekend Gigs In Louisiana. We Have Fairs And Festivals Every Weekend. But I Took Seven Months Off. That's When I Really Started Digging Deep. I Wrote A Couple Songs That Year That I Still Play Every Now And Then For People.

There Is A Bit Of A Movement As Far As Younger People In Country Music. That Is Cool Because People Are Saying Things Like, 'i Didn't Listen To Country Music Until So-and-so Came Along.' And I'm Like, 'yeah! Now You Know Why I Love It.
