We grew up in Nashville, but my brothers and I and my friends we weren't steeped in country music by any means, ... We liked what everybody else liked at the time. It was like Journey and classic rock. We listened to rock when we were kids and we loved it. That's what we did. Getting older is when you got introduced to country music.

How do I tell you what my heart's been telling me?
I was in relationship with a guy who was much older than me - either he was past his prime and I was coming into mine. There was nothing I could do to keep his attention.
I'm a big fan of '70s records where artists could draw on whatever influences they wanted.
I toured in Europe first, before I did any touring in the U.S. It was with Jimmy Nail and others.
I think the themes in my songs are very similar from the first album to the newest one. It's all about the human condition and how we are all trying to learn to live with each other and survive love and life.
Any album that I ever put out I'm going to send it to country radio first.
I never excluded any genre on my first record.
But once you become successful, everyone has an idea of what you should do.
I never listened to country music growing up.
My relationship with Music Row has always been, from my end, optimistic and hopeful that there is more than one way to approach the writing, recording, and marketing of an album.
I've been in LA for 5 years now, and it's been very freeing creatively.
I also love real estate and decorating.
