Hunter Hayes Quotes

• Writing by myself, I spread that out more. I’ll spend more time on a song then. I’m more critical about it, because there’s no one else in the room to tell me, ‘That’s really not translating. I’m not getting what you’re saying.’ So, I’m constantly rewriting it, thinking, ‘No, that’s fine,’ and going back.

• ‘Wanted’ is about a girl I was friends with, but at the time it was teetering on the edge of something more. I wanted to show her that I really cared about her. ‘Wanted’ was my way of saying, ‘we’re friends and have a great foundation, and this could be something really special.’

• When I was 13 or 14, I took seven months off from touring. I did a lot of weekend gigs in Louisiana. We have fairs and festivals every weekend. But I took seven months off.

• There’s something fun about the road because there’s no 9 to 5. But I do find myself making the effort to take some time off. As much as I don’t want to, I have to. I need to reset. I love weeks off, because I can go in the studio and just be creative again.

• I’ve always been shy, but I see that as a good thing because it kept me focused on music. When I was in seventh grade, I asked my parents for a mobile recording system for Christmas, and I got it. I didn’t come out of my room for years after that. I’d get invited to the movies and I’d say, ‘I’m gonna finish a couple of demos.’

• I’m very shy and awkward. I think the best thing is to embrace it. It’s about accepting who you are and what you want to become and knowing all that you’ve got to work with, whether it’s good or bad. My music was the only place I could be me for the longest time.

• I’m naturally shy, so the social media thing is new to me. I haven’t really figured out how my voice sounds on social media, you know? I don’t want to tweet everyday just for the sake of tweeting. I want to make sure whatever I do there is honest. Social media can very quickly get fake, and I don’t want to be that guy.

• I started writing when I was around 6. I say ‘writing,’ but it was really just making up stuff! I started writing and doing my own thing. I didn’t really know what a demo was or anything like that, so I started getting interested in studio gear and started learning about one instrument at a time. My first instrument was an accordion.
