Hunter Hayes Writing Quotations

Yes, I did lock myself in my room for about two years and write some songs and things like that. But I don't feel like I missed out on a whole lot.

I write for myself. I don't write because I have a record coming out. I write because I want to. I need to.

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.

There's a lot of people I'd like to write with, like Keith Urban or even as far out as Stevie Wonder.

Any time I write a new song, I am jazzed about it for like 24 hours and then I am over it and want to write another one.
