To make it in the music industry you have to have a special drive, and a commitment to staying the course even when the odds are against you, and people all round you doubt you can do it. That ability to stand up for himself was instilled very early in Chase Rice. Chase recalls seeing a home video of when he was a little kid that may have even sparked the beginning of where that drive comes from–it was when his dad was trying to teach Chase’s two older brothers how to do jumping jacks. Little Chase was trying his best, and even when one of his brothers called him out on not being old enough to do it–Chase persisted. It was from there that he learned the life lesson that has lead him to the career and internal fortitude that he has now. Chase says that when “someone tells me I can’t do something…not only am I look at you and said ‘yes I can,’ but…I’m gonna do it or try to do better than you.” Chase will take that competitive spirit out on the road this fall when he headlines his Everybody We Know Does tour–which shares the same name of his new single–and he’ll try to give his fans the best country music show they’ve ever seen.

  Chase Rice talks about where his competitive spirit comes from. (:46)
“I was the youngest brother of my two older brothers, and I remember watching home videos where my dad was trying to teach my two brothers…I was probably two or three years old, how to do jumping jacks. He was teaching them, they were getting coordinate enough to do jumping jacks and I’m sitting there…I’m mad, you can tell I’m upset, I’m trying to jump up-and-down to do jumping jacks but I can’t. And I think that’s where I got…and in the video one of my brothers looks at me and says ‘you’re not old enough to do this,’ and I don’t if I was really old enough to understand it all, but somewhere when I was young I was pushed by my dad and by my brothers to where someone tells me I can’t do something…not only am I look at you and said ‘yes I can,’ but yes, I am I’m gonna do it or try to do better than you and if I fail at least I fail while daring greatly.”
