  • How his college years in South Carolina were a turning point, marking the beginning of his serious pursuit of music.
  • His distinctive fusion of Modern Country, Country Rock, and Country-Pop, highlighting the central role of storytelling in his songwriting.
  • The way personal experiences and stories from people he encounters inspire his music, focusing on authenticity and emotional resonance.
  • The challenges he has faced, including finding his unique voice, developing his brand, and handling the business side of his career.
  • His advice to aspiring musicians on achieving success in the industry.
