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'm not a huge award type person, that's not really what lights my fire.
I still have my buddies from back home, I still have my family. They really help to keep me grounded. I try to call them and talk to them about their everyday life.
I feel like I have gotten to know Chicago pretty well, and every time I come here I have a really good response.
I like whiskey and I like vodka, too. And beer.
I didn't do anything but write for six months after I got my publishing deal. That was just trying to get better and figure out my sound and the way I like to do it.
I have my hopes high. I don't know how I'll top the Luke Combs tour, but I guess we'll see.
I just want to make music people like.
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.
I had a bowl cut. That was pretty bad. Definitely a bowl cut. And I used to have blond, like really, really, blond hair when I was a kid. So blond bowl cut - that's what I was rocking when I was a little kid.
I didn't necessarily grow up with country being my first priority as a music listener. I grew up listening to classic rock and Christian music.
I got a call from my manager who told me Diplo was working on a country project. I put my vocal on the songwriting demo and my team sent the song to his team. Evidently they fell in love with it... and the rest is history.
I think Diplo is a true global artist. I feel that he is exposing country artists to his global reach and that's something that is rarely done in our genre.
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.
