Scotty McCreery – HuffPost 11.13.12

Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

Scotty McCreery: You’ve just got to go out there and hit the ground running. You can’t be scared. I know you’ll be nervous because I was, but you’ve got to have fun with it. Take it in every day and you never know what can happen. You never know where the road is going to take you, but you’ve just got to be willing to go down it with your best foot. That’s what I have to say.

MR: What’s your advice to Scotty McCreery as you’re moving into your future?

SM: Focus on the music. If you focus on the music and get the right songs, I think the rest will take care of itself. It’s been a wild year for me with the success of the album–winning an auto, I’ve won awards. That’s been cool but I haven’t really had that major hit song yet, so I really have to focus on that, personally and as an artist. I’ve got to focus on the music.

MR: You know it’s just a matter of time, right?

SM: I hope so.
