This oneâs a full-on Texas anthem.
POV: Hearing your song on American Idol for the first time.
When they pick your song for the winner of American Idol, you get a heads-up. But for me, it wasnât real until I saw Scotty McCreery standing up on that stage, singing âI Love You This Big.â It was a moment that hit me right in the gut. All that work, all those honest words, suddenly out there for the world to hear. A memory Iâll never forget.

Thereâs the platinum plaque, and then thereâs the real story. My kids are the heart and soul behind âI Love You This Big.â That simple, honest feeling of love that you canât even put into words, they taught me how big it truly is. Everything I do, I do for them. My greatest work isnât a song; itâs them.

Like many singers, I started in church, this is a song I wrote during a revival at my church. Itâs called âHallelujahâ I hope you like it . đ
Whatâs a song that speaks to your spirit?

Trying to balance out my two personalities... đˇââď¸âĄď¸đ¤
From getting things wired up in the plant to writing songs under a cowboy hat. Both sides are 100% me, and they both fuel the music.
