I was very confused with where my life was heading, but I knew that whatever I did, music was going to be involved.
Professionally, I want to keep playing music; I can't escape that.
Ever since I was a kid, this was all I wanted to do. I've wanted to do music. I wanted to sing. It's all I know.
I don't feel like God called me to be a gospel singer. He didn't call me to be a Christian singer; he called me to be a country singer, and I just happen to be a Christian.
When I have sat at home with this God-given talent for music for a long time, somebody approaches me out of the blue and asks me to play for them. It's almost as though there's a force somewhere which is saying 'no sittin' around, out you go!
I was eleven and I wanted to play it because it was in my blood. It was a feeling I couldn't deny.
The first time I stepped on stage and I started singing, I knew that I wanted to do it for the rest of my life.
I've always known that singing was some sort of calling for me. It comes naturally.
I don't really know how to describe how I got into music - it kind of just happened.
I may quit the music business someday, but never the music.
I always wanted to play music and have it be my career and knew this by the age of 12.
I've known from a very early age that singing was what I was supposed to do. There was this unmistaken, undeniable passion within me to sing country music.
I don't feel like I chose to do music as much as I made a decision to not stop doing music.
