This music is about struggle. Reggae is a vehicle to carry a message of freedom and peace.

My definition of country music is really pretty simple. It's when someone sings about their life and what they know, from an authentic place.

Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all.

My goals are - I don't need much. I'm a simple man. I think that success is having fun. And when I'm having fun doing music, I'm happy. If I can make a little money on the side doing it, I'm really happy.

One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.

Hey mister music, sure sounds good to me I can't refuse it what to be got to be.
