I'm a big fan of Chris Janson. He is totally true to himself, and that's a rare and refreshing quality these days, especially with people in the public eye.
Chris called me today to talk about his current single, "Done," hitting #1 on the chart this week (yay!), and he told me things about the song that I never knew! I knew the song was inspired by his wife, Kelly, but I had no idea how their relationship began. Chris told me he knew the moment he saw Kelly that he was going to marry her, even though they had never even spoken, and both of them were dating other people at the time! Chris said they ran into each other several times before they finally started talking, and once they began dating, Chris went so far as to change his phone number...listen to him explain why in the audio below.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Chris perform and meeting him in the past. He is the real deal, and I am so happy to see good people find success. This photo was taken backsage at the "Raised on Country" Tour in Tampa last year. I'm the one in the grey shirt.
