Zitat des Tages von Sam Hunt:
I love so many styles of music.
Putting out music as it's made, versus holding it until an album's finished, allows me to be more timely and maintain balance.
Shane McAnally is a really good friend of mine. He's one of the first guys that really embraced what I was doing with an open mind.
I still get excited about it. I miss playing ball.
Prior to getting into music, I interacted with, on a daily basis, about 5-10 percent of the people that I've interacted with since then. I've been meeting people from different backgrounds and different cultures. That did allow for a lot of change. I've changed as a product of that, but it's been positive.
I never thought of myself as a performer or songwriter or singer.
Whatever's going on in my life shows up in the writing room.
I've always really liked the rhythm element of songs.
Some people don't like long bus rides, but I love them. There's sort of a sense of solitude.
I had a couple CDs. But I never had that first concert experience, that first record thing.
I am kind of the front man for a team of people behind the scenes who are working just as hard as me and are putting in just as much time to make this all happen. I'm not trying to be humble. I just want everyone to get credit where credit is due.
I wish I could make multiple records, stylistically. The way that I'm gonna remedy that is to make a diverse record with a lot of different styles on one record.
I wanted to be a bull rider when I grew up.
I connect music to the emotions that come from relationships, so most of the songs that I write are inspired by those circumstances, emotions, feelings, all that kind of stuff.
I do feel pressure internally and externally to put out music, but that excites me because I love songwriting, and this brings me back to why I got in music in the first place, so I'm excited about that.
By no means do I want to try to leave country music. That's absolutely where I want to stay.
I learned from making a few of these low-budget videos early on that the best way to go about doing it is just to keep it honest and real.
I like disagreement because it forces both sides to question their own opinions and why they feel that way.
I don't know that I've ever bought anything online. I'm about 10 years behind the technological curve, I think.
There wasn't really a song or artist that made me want to be a singer, I think I was always a fan of country music.
There's such a strong community element in country - it's like a family. So I don't want to do anything that can come off, even if I'm not intentionally doing it, as giving the perception that I'm trying to abandon that family.
I think of a song in terms of lyrics and stories, and that's what keeps it country for me.
I grew up really close to Alabama, about 10 minutes from the Alabama line. We'd make trips to Alabama, and I feel at home there.
I am from the country, and I grew up mostly influenced by country music.
It's just really fulfilling to celebrate with a group of folks, a team, than it is personally.
I worked at a hospital parking cars and getting folks in and out of the hospital as they would come in for their appointments.
The most flattering thing I hear is, 'I didn't think I liked country music before I heard your record.'
When I was really young, my babysitters had horses, and I started riding them.
I'm not really a piano player, but I play enough to get away with it.
I love being outside, I do a lot of hunting.
Fortunately, the music from the first record really connected with people, and I was really proud of that.
With a song called 'House Party,' you'd expect it to be more about a big party, not as much about a relationship, so we tried to put a little bit of a unique twist on it.
At heart, I'm a relationship guy, but my adventurous side makes it hard. I hope I'll find a balance.
I'm not in control of my fate, and that's a good thing.
My dad is a football guy, not a music guy. He didn't totally understand when I decided to be a musician.
I've tried to work really hard on never phoning in the lyrics.
