00:00Coming up you're opening for Kenny Chesney at the sphere. How did you land that amazing gig? I don't know
00:07I'm asking myself that question
00:09No, you know
00:10I think Kenny and I have the same booking agent and you know
00:13Kenny is really working so hard to put on such a special show for the sphere
00:17I think he really wants to make it unlike any other show he's ever done
00:20And so for him to have a DJ I think is very different but something he really wanted and I'm just so honored that he picked
00:26Me I think it's he's gonna put on an incredible show
00:29I have no doubts, but I personally am working so hard to create a unique set just for the sphere and just for Kenny
00:36Chesney fans and it's gonna be unlike any other show I played
00:39What's it like designing the experience that fans are gonna see in the sphere? Are you a part of that process?
00:44Yeah, you know, this is all things we're still figuring out
00:47But that's what's so exciting about the sphere is I'm gonna get a chance to do things
00:51I don't normally get to do right like
00:53Visuals or why people go to the sphere like you want the whole experience
00:57And I think that what a cool opportunity to not only get to put together an incredible set of music and songs people love
01:03But then be able to give them something sick to look at on this incredible screen like it's gonna be so cool
01:08So I can't give away anything yet
01:10But it's gonna be special and it's gonna be amazing and you guys got to get your tickets because there's not many left
01:16We're here at the iHeartRadio Music Awards tonight
01:18Who's an artist that you listen to on the radio growing up that made you want to work in music?
01:23Oh, man, so many the thing is I grew up listening to so many different types of music
01:28Like obviously my dad is a country arist
01:30So we listen to a lot of country a lot of Shania Dolly Trisha Yearwood Faith Hill
01:35Waylon Jennings Johnny Cash all that good stuff
01:38But then as I grew up I started to listen to hip-hop and pop and rock music
01:42And so I really have such an eclectic taste because I love it all
01:46I've been asking people today about rat summer was last summer. But what kind of vibes are we manifesting for this summer, man?
01:53I don't know. I
01:55Don't know for me personally
01:57I'm gonna go beach cowgirl summer because Kenny's whole theme is beach and my whole theme is cowgirl
02:05So I'm just gonna mesh the two and that's gonna be my theme this year. I love that and right now it's spring break time
02:11What's your go-to vacation spot where you love to go when you do get a break? Oh my gosh
02:16You know where I love I went last year for the first time
02:19I love Grand Cayman the Caymans and the Caribbean, you know, it's cool. I live in Nashville
02:23So it's an easy flight the Caribbean so beautiful. I would say like if I had a week to get away
02:28That's where I would go
