My teenage years were exactly what they were supposed to be. Everybody has their own path. It's laid out for you. It's just up to you to walk it.

I sang in church growing up. Memphis is the blues capital of the world, we like to say.

My earliest memories as a kid was I would always try to make my mom and my stepdad laugh at dinner. Or make my friends laugh in class. And, I don't know, it's something I just really enjoy doing.

You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.
