Below is a great long interview with Scotty McCreery from myYearbook ! Some of the highlights are that Scotty discusses his motto, 글쓰기 songs, what he recommends for everyone to experience, and what he hopes that his 팬 get out of his album! Read it all below:
When did 당신 first discover your voice?
I’ve been 노래 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 당신 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 노래 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 노래 [in the church]. My faith plays a big role in my music. 당신 can tell that because the last song on the album is a faith-based song. Hopefully, one 일 we can produce and make one of those faith-based albums to show people exactly where I come from and who I am.
당신 learned 기타 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 기타 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 다음 월 the official nominated list should be released, but Scotty McCreery is one of the many incredible artists/groups battling it out this 년 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 팬 alike would be speechless if Scotty were to win a Grammy...but out of the thousands who auditioned for 'American Idol', a 17 년 old from Garner, NC came out victorious...who's to say he can't win a Grammy too!?
