You never know the plan. You never know what's going to happen. We are not even promised tomorrow. I just try to focus on one day at a time.
There's a lot of things we go through and we don't even know why... At the end of the day, God has a purpose and a plan for you, and that's kind of how I take that.
I just want to be able to do it all just because that's what life is.
Cutoff flannel and a mullet. That's what I'm rolling with. If you see me onstage, that's what it's gonna be!
I like whiskey and I like vodka, too. And beer.
I think that the best music and the music that people relate to the most is the honest music that people feel themselves in it.
I try to focus on what I love doing and if those things, those awards, those accolades, those tickets keep selling and coming like they are doing, I'm going to relish in it and live my life the best way I know how and be grateful.
I didn't want to act like I'm too cool for school or anything like that.
And it's always good to get back home and see the people you love, and get to spend time with your family on top of playing your music.
My whole life, baseball was my first love. I was gonna go play college, but during my senior year I tore my ACL, and college kind of faded away with their offer, which I understand, obviously. That was a dark time in my life.
I don't have any answers, but in my personal opinion, I'm a person that has faith and I believe that a lot of people have neglected God.
My voice is obviously real southern - I automatically lean country.
I definitely don't wanna be known as the 'Up Down' guy. I love singing that song, I love that song, but yeah, there's definitely more to me than just a party for sure.
If you don't believe in what you're doing, if you don't feel comfortable, or you're not meaning what you're saying, no matter if you love it or not - you can still connect with a song, but if you don't, I feel like people can easily sniff that out.
I think sometime during the peak of 'Whiskey Glasses' is when I realized: 'Man, this is really starting to happen. People are not not just singing these singles, they're singing every song on my album and really invested in what I'm doing.'
I'm not a huge award type person, that's not really what lights my fire.
I'm all for a good slow song and I love all different kinds of music.
Right after high school... the first time I ever recorded music was with a rapper, a friend of mine, and I would just be like, 'I'll sing your choruses.' So I would sing his hooks and he would go in there and rap.
A lot of people say I talk like 'country-gangster' almost. I don't know how that's possible or how that happens, but some people say that.
I believe in God. I believe that He's real and I believe He has control over a lot of things and I think throughout history there has been a lot of countries that have turned their back on Him and the result is not great.
