My Goal Is That When

'she's Country' Obviously Changed A Lot Of Things For Us And Pretty Much, I Think, Doubled Our Crowd Size In Just A Few Months Time.

There's A Lot Of People I'd Love To Work With At Some Point, But I Think The Song Has To Be The Right Thing. It Has To Be The Right Fit.

Country Music In The Mid-'90s Was A Big Influence On My Career, And I Played All The Songs That Are Referenced In '94' Back In My Club Days. Joe Diffie Was Rocking A Sick Mullet, And He Was Hotter Than Ever... Just Putting Out Monster Hit After Monster Hit. It Totally Takes Me Back To Those Days, And It Makes Me Smile Every Time I Hear It.

As A New Artist, You Come Out, And There Are So Many Other New Artists. It Seems Like There's A Whole Wave Of New Artists That Come Along Every Year. In '05, I Was Part Of The Crop. It Was A Lot Harder Trying To Set Myself Apart From The Rest Of The Pack.

If You Say, 'i'm Going To Cut This Song Because I Know The Teenagers Are Going To Love It,' Well, Then You're Going To Alienate Everybody Else. When I Cut My Record, I'm Just Going To Cut The Things That I Like, And Whoever Likes It, Likes It. That's Too Much Work To Try To Figure Out The Demographic. That's Too Much Like A Business.
