I invest in people. I love people. And when people see an artist, an up and coming artist, they're like, oh, he just wants to be the next thing. Well, everybody wants to be the next thing. But my purpose and my reason for why I do what I do, I left a great job for 10 years to just chase a dream. And I enjoy people and people make me happy.
you know like when when we can share stories about food or you know like I really enjoy people and and so that is why I would love to be out in the world and doing these things because people make me happy yeah you know and music makes me happy and then food or whatever that people vibe with I'm like man just do what you love and damn everything else sucks I love that living man
All right, guys, Justin Andrews, country artist up and coming and about to make his name known, I think, soon. Thanks for coming on, man. Absolutely. It's my pleasure. Thanks for having me. Yeah, you've been traveling a lot lately, huh?
Yeah, I've been moving here and there and trying to make the dream happen like everybody else. I mean, honestly, it's been an exciting start to the year so far. We've got a lot going and looking forward to all the shows we're going to do. To me, growing up in the middle of nowhere, you never thought you'd be where you're at right now. Yeah, must be a big change for you, huh?
It is. Yeah. I mean, I grew up in a little, in a little small town and, you know, there was 16 of my graduating high school class. What? Yeah. That was the size of like my gym class. Yeah. Yeah. There was, well, I think there was supposed to be 22, but some of them didn't quite. Okay. Six of them didn't make it.
Yeah. So, but yeah, I mean, it's just, just trying to make it happen. I mean, I don't, sometimes you think about it in your brain and you're like, man, I don't know how to make this work, but I'm just going to keep doing it and see what happens. Did you always have these big dreams even when you were young like that in high school?
Man, honestly, I always wanted to be a musician. I knew that. My grandparents raised me when they were in their 50s, and they had a traveling gospel band. And so, you know, it was more like, you know, them saying, hey, you know, get up and sing a song, you know, me and my sister. And then it kind of turned into I was watching movies with George Strait in it and stuff like that.
And then I kind of got that hunger to where I was like, man, I want to be George Strait. I love it. Wow. Traveling gospel band. Yeah. First time I've heard that.
Yeah. It was, we would go to, go to different churches and, and just, you know, my aunts and my uncles and my dad would play a little guitar and my cousin and all that. And I don't know, it was just, I think it was just more of something to do and meeting people that were like you and, you know.
