I'm still learning a lot as a songwriter. I try to write down and make a note of ideas that I cross paths with on a day-to-day basis, whether it be a conversation or something I hear on the radio, seeing a movie, or just thoughts in my head as I'm walking down the street.

When I graduated high school, I bought a guitar and, at first, didn't really think I'd get into the songwriting thing as much as I did.

I think that people in general appreciate honesty and not trying to cook something up just to fit a mold that would be beneficial for you. I never made music like that. Sam Hunt beneficialcookfit Change image and share on social
