“Life is all about perspective: how we view the various seasons that life has to offer. Twins are a blessing, and when they arrived, we realized how precious life is. One thing I have noticed is that life is better lived with others,” she says.
Find someone who brings out the best in you. Someone who will turn your mess into something beautiful. For me, God has been that constant reminder to our family that we don’t have to live this life alone. Every day is a blank canvas to live life to the fullest and see the world and the people around us in a new light.”

1. I am the father of twins who will be 3 years old this August! Their names are Athens and Dior.
2. I proposed to my wife at Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World. It was magical, but most importantly, she said yes. 🙂
3. I grew up outside of Nashville, which means I’m a unicorn. (A Nashville native who is in the music industry.)
4. My career started when I auditioned with my sister, Schyler, on season 10 of american idol. After failing the first year, I came back for another season during my sister’s second attempt and ended up making the Top 10. I owe a lot to my sister. Ha.
5. Since I am constantly on the go, I have learned to cut and bleach my hair. PS: cut at your own risk. 😬
6. My only job growing up other than music was retouching faces at major TN sporting events: Titans, Predators, etc.
7. I was an extra in the Hannah Montana movie. You can see me a couple of times sporting a cowboy hat and boots during the big reveal scene at the fair.
8. My parents own escape rooms and ax throwing businesses in the town I grew up in, and both have been featured on ESPN for ax/knife throwing. And no, I’m not very good at it. Ha.
9. I love fragrances. A different fragrance for different moods/settings to complete the mood. Who doesn’t like to smell good?
10. Growing up in the church, faith has been a constant for me in my life. It’s my absolute favorite song to sing.
