I've always wanted to release a song that could actually touch someone and help them through a tough time.

I've been able to experience so many things since I've had my record deal.

Whenever it was spring break, someone would always have a guitar down at the beach, and they'd play a random song, and I'd sing. Eventually, hearing compliments from people saying I sounded pretty good stuck with me.

I always loved country music. But I didn't even know I could sing. I just knew I loved the music.

Every year since we got started, I think that it's going to get harder to top it, but with all the support, somehow things keep getting better. That must mean we are doing something right, so we're just going to try to keep doing what we're doing.

I know how fortunate I am and my family are to be healthy.

I've had the chance to meet families with children who are sick, and it's heartbreaking.

We need to take care of people that are out there busting their butts trying to make it; that's what everyone's done for me.

The fact that I have the chance to learn from the names I've been on tour with, I don't think you can ask for any more than that.

I want to do this for a long time; I want people to be saying, 'What is he doing still playing in clubs?'

I want to be somebody, a person, first that people remember, but also, I want music that I release to still be around. I don't want it to just be cool for a second and be gone.

As an artist, as a person, I don't want to be here for just a little while.

It matters if people believe you or not.

'You Should Be Here' set the tone that, 'Alright everybody, I want you to listen to this album.

For me, that first album, there was a lot of fun stuff.

After I went to college, I realized that no matter how much I loved sports, I was ready to have fun, and that was right when I started to sing.

Growing up, all I did was play sports. I always loved music, but I never even thought I'd be on stage one day.

I started to sing after high school, and I may have dreamed about being Randy Travis a time or two.

I'm a Georgia Southern boy.

That's why I fell in love with country music: it made me feel something.

I'm just glad to be singing songs that touch people.

I know that a lot of our troops like country music. I would love to do anything I could to just help them out.

There's families all across the country that miss people, but there's nothing like military families.

I'm blessed to have the platform I have, and I'm going to spread the word. There's a lot of great causes, but I don't know anything that hits you harder than a child being sick. It's not fair; they don't deserve it. I'm ready to know what I can do to help.
