I Work Because I Think

When I First Started Performing, Some People Were There Just Out Of Curiosity. I Think That Happens Less Often Then You'd Think, But When It Is Happening It's Very Obvious And I Can Tell What's Going On. I Had Some Of That In The Beginning, But I Think That Ultimately I Got A Pretty Strong Fan Base Based On Just My Personality Alone, And My Honesty, My Music. So It Wasn't Based On Anything Else, And I Did Notice If Someone Else Came Looking For Something Else, They'd Probably Leave, Or Complain It Was Too Loud Or Something.

I Dropped Out Of School In The 11th Grade Because There Was No Purpose In It For Me. I'm Not Proud Of This, And I'm Not Trying To Promote It.

I Like Jailhouse Rock And Love Me Tender. The Black-and-white Films. With Music, I Tend More Toward The '70s Stuff Because I Was At The Shows For Those, So They Bring Back Memories.

Anytime I Was In Memphis With My Dad And At The House, I Was Happy. That Was, Like, A Given. It Was What I Lived For. And I Still Feel The Same Excitement And Warmth.

I Wanted To Come Through With My Own Voice And, Hopefully, Have It Affect People. I Want People To Know That I'm Not An Elvis Impersonator.
