I always improvise with the crowd. Sometimes it will be a 50 percent show, sometimes 70 percent, sometimes it's almost a whole show where I wing it. It depends on my mood, the energy in the room. For sure, a portion of it is just kind of winging it.

I like performing in front of big crowds.

I'm a big fan of all those singing competition shows.

At first, I wasn't really keen on the idea of me being on stage having to sing in front of people.

It is amazing to sing in front of a live audience. It is incredible. The energy is awesome.

I love being able to sing for my job. I am blessed beyond words and I hope my fans can feel that while I'm on stage!

I'm a singer and performer in a hybrid show that's standup, music and audience participation.

I'm not that flashy in private; I'm usually pretty reserved. But on stage, it's about not being afraid of anything - of anyone judging you. It's one place you can be free. So why not sing as loud as you can, hoop and holler and jump around? A show is a moment. When it's done, it's over. I find that extremely liberating.

My band is so dedicated, everybody works very hard. The No. 1 priority is the show, and it's pretty cool because we all pull together, and it's fun. It's like being on a sports team or something.
