“For music, it was always something I wanted to do. But, it’s a crazy dream to think of. I mean, from where I’m from anyways. I mean a lot of my family- guys in my family it’s like a go to work, or go to war situation. So for me to want to go to college and do music, I mean, that was something nobody else had done in my family.  So, I put all of my efforts towards that.  So I think you have to work for everything you’re going to get.  That’s the way my Dad raised me, and his Dad before him. So, I applied that instead of to a manual labor job I just applied that to music, which has worked out.”

“Doing music wasn’t a logical choice, but it was really the only choice for me.  And actually I was sitting in my room one day learning cover songs and I was watching videos. There’s a guy named Hayes Carll, he’s a great singer-songwriter. And, it’s funny. One of these situations. He was being interviewed and they asked him, ‘Hey what kind of advice do you have for up and coming, or aspiring singer-songwriters?’ And he said, ‘You know, get off your ass and go do it.’  And that was enough for me. I feel like that’s the best advice you can give anybody. Just go do it. And, uh don’t look back.”
