I could help a lot of people's kids that are going through racism or getting bullied. That's what I wanna do.

You put my voice on R&B melodies, on top of a real country band, and the sky's the limit.

I'm a role model to a lot of kids.

I wanted to call it 'Experiment' because it's all kinds of different sounds. We have a bunch of instruments on there that are basically going extinct, like the fiddle, the steel guitar, the slide.

My tattoos... I'd be in the Army right now if I hadn't got 'em.

It's been neat to find out different writing strategies. I've been in the room with so many different writers. Sometimes, you write with tracks, and other times, with acoustic guitars. That's been really a cool thing, because it brings out different lyrics with you.

If you come to my shows, there's all kinds of different races, all kinds of different people.

After graduating from high school, even though I was working, I didn't have enough money to pay rent, so I stayed with my Nana.

In country radio, everybody has such a connection and a bond. So you've got to meet them.

Hopefully I can help kids, and they can end up being stronger in the long run, too.

I feel like I am the outsider on the inside, if that makes sense. But I have coped with it.

I just want people to know that I'm a good person, and I'm not a thug like everybody thinks I am.
