Thats what i was doing 14 years. He goes, no, no, no. I like your music. I think youre great. I just why arent you making a record like that . How you sang the i sang country to, whatever, but i guess i sang it more soulful than hes ever heard and it was, like, thank you . But i do. Ive never made a record i dont feel like that is my full potential, as a singer. And thats my thing. So weve already began recording it. Its steve knows he was the one who i ran in to him.
