Folks in Alabama seem like folks in Georgia to me. I feel like you can just about combine the two.

I study what's happening in music. I want to sound different than everybody else.

I am kind of the front man for a team of people behind the scenes who are working just as hard as me and are putting in just as much time to make this all happen. I'm not trying to be humble. I just want everyone to get credit where credit is due.

I do feel pressure internally and externally to put out music, but that excites me because I love songwriting, and this brings me back to why I got in music in the first place, so I'm excited about that.

Fortunately, the music from the first record really connected with people, and I was really proud of that.

I had some interesting costumes... the one that I remember right offhand is Zorro when I was a lot younger. I was a big time Zorro fan. My mom helped me make it, and I remember having a big issue with the fact that she wouldn't let me carry around a real metal sword; it just had to be plastic.

Maybe one day music will just be music, and there won't be these categories; it'll just be different shades of music.
Sam Hunt
-
I never thought of myself as a performer or songwriter or singer.
Sam Hunt

By no means do I want to try to leave country music. That's absolutely where I want to stay.

From the pop side, people like Usher, and when they first came out, I listened to guys like K-Ci and JoJo; that '90s R&B thing really caught my ear.

People throw things at me sometimes, at big festivals.

I wanted to be a bull rider when I grew up.

I'm not really a piano player, but I play enough to get away with it.

New experiences give you new perspectives on life.

I like to come up with lots of different sounds. So the final version of a song might have been 10 completely different songs before we finally got it right.

-
I don't get irrational about it, but I do have a deeply-rooted competitive spirit. Not necessarily towards other people, but towards any obstacle that I set for myself.
Sam Hunt
-
Prior to getting into music, I interacted with, on a daily basis, about 5-10 percent of the people that I've interacted with since then. I've been meeting people from different backgrounds and different cultures. That did allow for a lot of change. I've changed as a product of that, but it's been positive.
Sam Hunt

I thought that I could have a career in music. I really didn't know exactly what I wanted to do or how I would go about doing it.
Sam Hunt
-
Picking up a guitar brought a lot of balance into my life.
Sam Hunt
-
I love all kinds of music, and I would write really traditional country songs and songs that were just really out there, that didn't sound country at all, and everything in between.
Sam Hunt
-
I really feel like I honed in on a sound and a style of writing that best fits me.
Sam Hunt
-
I think of a song in terms of lyrics and stories, and that's what keeps it country for me.
Sam Hunt
-
I worked at a hospital parking cars and getting folks in and out of the hospital as they would come in for their appointments.
Sam Hunt
-
It's liberating to wear clothes that are outside the boundaries of what I'm supposed to wear, ya know, based on the traditional model, whether that be a country music singer, or being from the country. It's not a rebellious thing.
