Below is a great long interview with Scotty McCreery from myYearbook ! Some of the highlights are that Scotty discusses his motto, uandishi songs, what he recommends for everyone to experience, and what he hopes that his mashabiki get out of his album! Read it all below:

When did wewe first discover your voice?


I’ve been imba 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 wewe 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 imba 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 imba [in the church]. My faith plays a big role in my music. wewe can tell that because the last song on the album is a faith-based song. Hopefully, one siku we can produce and make one of those faith-based albums to onyesha people exactly where I come from and who I am.

wewe learned guitar, gitaa 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 guitar, gitaa 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.
