I'm Not A Photographer, So I Need

All I Knew When I Moved To Nashville Was That I Wanted To Make Music In Whatever Shape And Form I Could.

Anyone Who Tells You They're Not Nervous Playing On The Cmas Stage, I'm Afraid They're Not Telling You The Whole Story.

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've Always Been Shy, But I See That As A Good Thing Because It Kept Me Focused On Music. When I Was In Seventh Grade, I Asked My Parents For A Mobile Recording System For Christmas, And I Got It. I Didn't Come Out Of My Room For Years After That. I'd Get Invited To The Movies And I'd Say, 'i'm Gonna Finish A Couple Of Demos.'

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