I Am Very Thankful And

I'm Going To Do Everything I Can To Keep From Being Mainstream.

Life Doesn't Get More Real Than Having A Newborn At Home.

I Went To My Dad When I Was 17 And Said, 'i Want To Be A Country Music Star.' Which Every Dad Loves To Hear. And He Said, 'i Want You To Go To College.' So We Had A Discussion. And I'm Pretty Stubborn. I'm A Lot Like Him. And He Said, 'if You Go To College And Graduate, I'll Pay Your First Six Months Of Rent In Nashville.' So He Bribed Me.

I Think Right Now, You've Seen These Artists Pop Up Over The Last Decade Who've Flirted With Branching Together A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. Some Of Them Have Been Huge, And Sold Millions Of Records. And I Think Over Time It's Become A Little Bit Of What The Industry Can Be.

I Have A Huge Chip On My Shoulder.
