"He was like," I seriously think you have the potential to be a country singer. "He asked me if I had never written a song before, and I was like," I wrote silly songs in high school, but nothing was ever any good. "He said," Do you think you could write a song? Would you sign a publishing contract? "I did not even know what a publishing contract was. I was like, "Well, it does not pay?" [...] A little on the road, Ben began to take me to the labels, just to get my name out there playing an acoustic set for the people of A & R at the label. I played at Sony, Warner Bros, Universal, Big Machine, Capitol ... I played after each of these places, everyone was offered a recording contract.
