I don't mind a little attitude, because being with an entertainer is not the easiest thing in the world. In this business, we deal with female fans who will stop at nothing to be with you or be around you. So trust is important. I have to trust her and she has to trust me.

HOW DO YOU STAY GROUNDED?

Like I said before, I keep a small circle. The cats I hang around I've know pretty much my whole life. So they're not afraid to tell me the truth. If I'm getting a little big-headed, they'll let me know. If I write a song I think is amazing and it's not, they're not afraid to tell me. You always need people around you who aren't afraid to piss you off.

WHO DO YOU ADMIRE?

My mother and my father. They're two of the strongest people I know.

WHAT SCHOOLS DID YOU GO TO?

Pre School was Lucky Lane, Elementary School was Mason Ridge, Middle School was Parkway West Middle School, High School was Parkway West Hight School, and a short short time at Lindenwood Universtiy.

WHO DID YOU TAKE TO PROM?

I didn't go to prom. The only time I would go to a school function was when I had to be there. So I went to class…and that was pretty much it.

IF YOU WERENT' SINGING, WHAT WOULD YOU DO AS A PROFESSION?

I would love to be an actor. I still might someday.

WHO WAS THE ONE WHO SAID "YEAH HE GOT TALENT"?

My mom is a singer, so she was the one who really pushed me to pursue it.
