And to me, I had come out of Texas, and during that time was when I realized that a lot of people in Nashville, their idea of what country music was was not the same as mine.

Texas is where I found my musical self.

Texas is really special in that we have our own music scene, our own music chart. It's almost a genre on its own. It feels like you can make a great living just touring the state because it's so big, but eventually, I wanted a new challenge.

I have always been infatuated with country music.

I became a country music fan in 1990 when I moved to Colorado. It was my first exposure to it because I'm from a city. I've been a fan of country music ever since.

Country music is worldwide - it's not just Nashville and Texas.

Texas is a hotbed of insanely good bands and musicians.

I'm always kind of surprised how much I'm associated with country music.

I'm a big fan of country music.

I came to town thinking that everybody had the same idea of what country music was that I did.
