'I Wish Grandpas Never Died' singer RileyGreenMusic credits his love of music to his grandfather
When was the moment you knew you wanted to be an artist?
I don't think that there was really a moment where I figured out that that was going to be by my calling. I was playing because I enjoyed it, and they let me come into bars and drink for free, and my buddies all came down and we had a good time. My motivation early on was just writing songs [that] people would relate to, coming to shows, and sing those songs back to me. That was something I always get a lot of enjoyment out of, even to this day. There’s a lot more people in there now.
We ended up turning my great-grandparents’ house into a music hall. That was the first time I ever played and sang in front of somebody. It was me and a bunch of old men and women in there, playing old country music. It was a pretty easy place for me to gain some confidence, I guess you can say. The first song I remember singing was “Mama Tried.” That was one of my grandaddy’s favorite songs, and one of the ones we loved to play together.
Once I started getting a little more serious about it, I realized it was a way for me to get fans. If I could get in front of a crowd of people that are in a bar or restaurant, play a song that I wrote and that was something that was really special to me, it would be different than something somebody else could come up with.
It was definitely a big sign for me that it was touching people, and it meant something to somebody besides me. So we went and recorded the song and put it out. It’s been really crazy to see the way fans are really running to the song and how they find a line that means something to them.
