I went to school for marketing for one year before I dropped out of college to make music.

Some people go to college. For me I studied music my whole life. That was my college.

I dropped out of college when I was 18 to be in a band.

I moved out to L.A. when I was 17, dropped out of high school, and pursued a career in music.

I went into college undeclared. I had no idea what I wanted to do, but I knew that music was obviously this central big important thing in my life that I was gonna keep doing.

I finished high school, moved to Nashville for college, and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences, my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.

I sat out a few years because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do next. So many things were changing in music and in culture, so it seemed like a good time to step back.

Instead of going to college, I spent my time out on the road learning how to be a better musician.

When I finished school, I didn't continue to go to university, because I decided I wanted to do music.
