I've always wanted to sing country music.

There are people out there who are into traditional country music and for those people you have artists like Brad Paisley and Josh Turner and Alan Jackson. Then you have artists with a progressive style of country music, like myself and Eric Church and Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert.

Well, you know, people don't know me as a country artist and I am new to the genre. But that's how I grew up singing.

I think singing traditional country is wonderful, because I'm bringing it to my generation and to the younger kids.

I always know I'm a country singer, and regardless of where I've fallen into different places with my music, I know that, really, I'm a country singer.

I've been singing for a really long time and I love a lot of genres, but country just seemed like the best fit. The people in that genre are just so nice and welcoming. And that seemed so appealing. Also my voice fit it and seemed like the way to go.

I've never really been a traditional country kind of guy. I wanted my music to sound more like the end of the '90s and to have the kind of great music, pop or whatever, that radio will embrace.

I'm a traditional singer-songwriter. I have a more organic sound.

Even though I'm a pop singer, I really have more the life of a country singer.
