Below is a great long interview with Scotty McCreery from myYearbook ! Some of the highlights are that Scotty discusses his motto, লেখা songs, what he recommends for everyone to experience, and what he hopes that his অনুরাগী get out of his album! Read it all below:
When did আপনি first discover your voice?
I’ve been গান গাওয়া my whole life. I don’t remember not singing. I think it was around 13 that my voice started changing. It just kind of dropped off; I kind of skipped that cracking phase.
Do আপনি have any childhood memories of singing?
I don’t remember it, but my mom says that when I was a baby at my one-year-old check-up she looked at the doctor and said, ‘Look! This baby will sing to you!’ Then she hummed a little nursery rhyme to me and I hummed it back to the doctor. It was a pretty cool thing. I’ve been গান গাওয়া my whole life. I sang in church and children’s choir too.
How has your faith influenced your passion for music?
Greatly, I grew up গান গাওয়া [in the church]. My faith plays a big role in my music. আপনি can tell that because the last song on the album is a faith-based song. Hopefully, one দিন we can produce and make one of those faith-based albums to প্রদর্শনী people exactly where I come from and who I am.
আপনি learned গিটার at age 10. Did it come naturally to you?
I think the rhythm maybe, but I still have to learn all the chords and finger lays. My hands are kind of small, so I have to find a way to do it. I remember my গিটার teacher saying something to my mom about how I had a natural rhythm. I think that’s something that just musically has been in my head the whole time.

Sometime পরবর্তি মাস the official nominated তালিকা should be released, but Scotty McCreery is one of the many incredible artists/groups battling it out this বছর to be nominated.
Unfortunately, this is not a fan-voted process, so we can only keep our fingers crossed and our hopes high! I'm sure that everyone, friends, family, and অনুরাগী alike would be speechless if Scotty were to win a Grammy...but out of the thousands who auditioned for 'American Idol', a 17 বছর old from Garner, NC came out victorious...who's to say he can't win a Grammy too!?
