In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember as a little kid playing as a band with my parents on our plastic guitar, microphone, and drum kit. We would all take turns singing and playing all kinds of music from George Strait, Garth Brooks, to Meatloaf. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Brooks & Dunn, Brand New Man George Strait, Blue Clear Sky Kenny Chesney, When the Sun Goes Down Kenny, George, and Brooks & Dunn are just my opinion of true country artists and these albums are exactly what country music is and stands for. Listening to these reminds me of my childhood. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “What I've Been Missing” I wrote this song about a really difficult time I was going through in my life. It was really my way of getting over a past relationship and the song truly speaks from my heart. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My most memorable moment was the first night I got to play a tour show on the road. I had never played for some many country music fans and to see people singing every word of the songs we were playing was truly special. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I definitely have a lot left on my bucket list. I want to get a song to number 1 on country radio and want to get a spot on a major tour. I would say those are the 2 big goals of mine right now.
