I Grew Up In East

Keg In The Closet Pizza On The Floor Left Over From The Night Before, Where We Were Going We Didn't Really Care. We Had All We Ever Wanted In That Keg In The Closet.

Me And My Band And Crew Have Always Lived By The Code: 'work Hard, Play Harder.'

The Title [of The Album 'the Big Revival']alone Fit What I Was Feeling. It Defined What I Was Going Through. That Year Off Was A Time To Revive, To Reset, To Reclaim, To Revitalize And To Re-focus. It Was A Revival Of How I Made Music, How I Presented It And My Connection With The Fans.

Being Famous Is Uncomfortable Because I Grew Up Very Simply. Everything Revolved Around Friends, Family, Church And Sports.

Record Labels Today Are Much Less Patient: Artists Have A Bad Record, And They're Gone.
