A lot of singers find a musical genre people like and stick with it. That's being a conformist. I sing ballads, rock, salsa, rap.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoy all aspects of singing and I'm luckily given the choice to be part of different styles of music.
I've been singing one kind of genre for a long time but have always tried to push to new auras about picking new songs or the same kind of genre but trying to sing it differently, treating it differently.
A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.
I definitely don't see myself as much of a singer, because my upbringing is really based around the guitar, learning chord progressions and that sort of thing. So the singing aspect of what I do has been a secondary adventure.
I wondered how people would take me being a country music singer. I thought about deviating from that and singing other things. But... it doesn't really make sense for me to try to be something that I'm not.
Most importantly, I don't do music for people to want to be a singer, actor, or dancer. I do it because I love it and I want to show others you can accomplish goals.
People always want to talk about who I was, but I've always been singing, always been experimenting with pop music.
I just don't let music genres define me.
I try to not go, 'I'm writing a pop song.' Music is inherently genre-bending.
I never really thought I was going to be a singer, honestly. I never listened to singers; I always listened to rap music.
