Kiki : Good advice . Be in the moment right ? Scotty McCreery : Yeah , exactly .
Kiki : Well , I ' m going to turn it back over to Mark . He ' s got one final question to ask you and I ' m going to take this moment to thank you for taking some time with me this morning--and Mark is going to wrap it up today--and we ' re going to let you get along with your busy day today … so go ahead , Mark .
Scotty McCreery : Thank you , thank you .
Mark Myers : Scotty , as a lifelong New England native , I ' ve got to say , I ' m a huge fan now especially that you ' re a Red Sox and Patriots ’ fan … so that ' s awesome . You ' re good , you ' re good in my book now .
Scotty McCreery : I love that .
Mark Myers : ( Laughs ) My question to you : our magazine is geared more towards the independent unsigned artists — who are the people who haven ' t--quote on quote —“ made it ” yet . Can you give them any advice ? What advice can you give our readers that are trying to make it in the music business ? They always look forward to words of wisdom from somebody that ' s done what you ' ve done and reached the level you ' ve reached so far--especially at such a young age too .
Scotty McCreery : Yeah , well thank you . Uh , you know what we always try to tell folks in that kind of situation is to me , I think everybody has something that makes them unique . Uh , you know nobody is the same ; nobody sounds the same . I mean , you might have similarities , but there is always something that makes you unique . So as , as an artist--as an independent or somebody that is trying to make it--my biggest piece of advice would be find what makes you and your music unique and really try to show that off … when you ' re singing , when you ' re playing , when you ' re doing showcases--whatever . Really just try to show off what makes you unique and work on that craft and , you know , really get your music out there anywhere and everywhere--whether it ' s TV like me or YouTube or Facebook , Twitter . Just get your music out there , because you never know who is listening . Could be Joe Schmo and it could be the head of a record label in Nashville or Los Angeles , so ...
Mark Myers : Excellent . Scotty McCreery : Uh , yeah , that ' s kind of what I ' d tell them .
Mark Myers : Excellent , excellent advice . One final thing Scotty . I ' m looking forward to photographing your show and just attending it up here in New Hampshire on November 4 th , so it will be good to say “ hi ” and put some great photos with this interview . So thank you for your time !
Scotty McCreery : Love that . Yes sir . Hey , looking forward to it . It will be good to get back up there . Kiki : Thank you so much , Scotty . You enjoy your day today . Scotty McCreery : I appreciate it . Y ' all as well . Thanks for having me on . See you on Thursday !
