More quotes by Hunter Hayes
I was addicted to playing music.
Hunter Hayes
If I could make noise with anything, I was going to.
Hunter Hayes
I am grateful I got the chance to meet Stevie Wonder! He's like royalty to me and is one of my biggest inspirations.
Hunter Hayes
My mom makes the best Cajun stuff. I'm a big gumbo guy. I've lost a lot of my Louisiana accent, so now when I say 'gumbo,' I feel like someone who's never said the word before.
Hunter Hayes
There is a bit of a movement as far as younger people in country music. That is cool because people are saying things like, 'I didn't listen to country music until so-and-so came along.' And I'm like, 'Yeah! Now you know why I love it.
Hunter Hayes
My first instrument was an accordion. Growing up in Louisiana, my grandmother gave me an accordion because of our Cajun heritage.
Hunter Hayes
Anyone who tells you they're not nervous playing on the CMAs stage, I'm afraid they're not telling you the whole story.
Hunter Hayes
My favorite song depends on the day, what I’m going through, what I’m feeling.
Hunter Hayes
When I was in high school, I had binders with pictures of tour buses.
Hunter Hayes
A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else.
Hunter Hayes
I could be myself. I'm very shy and awkward. I think the best thing is to embrace it.
Hunter Hayes
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.
Hunter Hayes
To be the name on somebody's shirt that they've made themselves in preparation for one of your shows - it doesn't get much cooler than that.
Hunter Hayes
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.
Hunter Hayes
I don't even have a type, I don't think. My type is just whoever can get along with me.
Hunter Hayes
I've got some crazy, stupid big goals. I really wanna headline arenas. I wanna have such a big crew that we've got to have 20 or 30 buses on the road because that's how big the show we're putting on is.
Hunter Hayes
Don’t be afraid to do something different Dare to be something more.
Hunter Hayes
I have a string of competitiveness in me. It's really strange 'cause it's not something that I would even expect myself to have, but every now and then it kinda sneaks out, you know.
Hunter Hayes
Meeting Stevie Wonder was a massive, lifetime achievement for me. He's one of the sweetest people. I sense a kindred spirit in him, and I hope he'd say the same. Actually, he did.
Hunter Hayes
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.'
