Traditionalist Jon Pardi has always loved country music, and he says that love got instilled into him from his grandmother.
"My grandmother loved to sing, and she would sing anywhere she could 'cause it made her happy," he recalls in a statement from his label. "And so when my parents would leave me with her while they went to work, most of the time we were in the little room when George Strait tapes and Garth Brooks, and Randy Travis, George Jones, I mean all just traditional country singin' and having a good time recording ourselves.
"And so growing up with that, it really just, I grew up singing so it really helped me get my voice in, and my grandma was a great performer, I mean that's really all," he continues. "She didn't have the great voice, but she could definitely entertain a room and I got some of that too I think from her."
