I do love country music.

I know that I can sing. That's the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old.

Music for me is an emotional thing and it really does make me happy. It's not a tool for me to get fame or see my face in the papers or anything like that. It's about the fact that I really do enjoy it.

Bands are about these little relationships that make everything tick, and when you create new music you're testing those relationships.

Dreams do come true, even for someone who couldn't speak English and never had a music lesson or much of an education.
