Luke Bryan
- Hometown:
Leesburg , GA
- On Family
My family is fun and crazy and they just love life. Things were always fast pace around my house we always had people stopping by and it was a wonderful place to grow up. Anytime I needed a guitar or money for something related to music it was there. They encouraged me more than anyone to move to Nashville.
- Jobs While Growing Up in Georgia:
Leesburg is a very small town and all the farmland was just outside of town. I did farm peanuts, corn and cotton, or let’s just say my dad did (laughs). Seriously, my life was spent on farms – hunting, fishing and just growing up.
- How Georgia Has Shaped You as a Songwriter and Artist:
It’s everything about me. All the people and the culture of the South is what I hope I am. Georgia is where I have most of my fans right now. They have helped shape me as an artist. My songs, whether original or covers, were always targeted to make them have a good time.
- Musical Influences:
Ronnie Milsap, Earl Thomas Conley, Conway Twitty, Alan Jackson, Alabama, George Strait, Lionel Ritchie, and Merle Haggard I would say are the biggest.
- What You Like Most About Music:
The power it has over people. The simple fact that someone could be having an awful day and your song or performance can make that all go away. The way it affects people’s lives and how they can remember what was going on in their life when they heard a certain song.
- What Made You Want to Become a Songwriter:
I knew it was important in the process of becoming an artist. I believe it is really how you get grounded in the music business. Most of all I think it’s just about the coolest job in the world - sit around all day and come up with songs. It’s fun to express yourself through lyrics and music.
- What You Like Most About Performing Live:
Looking into the faces of everyone and seeing how they are reacting to you as a singer and performer. Making them have the best time of their life. Having that kind of power is wonderful.
- Thoughts That Ran Through Your Head WhenCapitol Records Nashville Offered You a Record Deal:
“Oh my God. I’ve gotta call Mama and Daddy.” It was wonderful. All of my dreams and wishes came together right then and there in that room.
- CDs in Your Car Stereo Right Now:
Johnny Cash Live At San Quentin and Folsom Prison, Dierks Bentley’s first self-titled CD, Hank Jr. and Ronnie Milsap’s 40 Number Ones.
