"I love seeing people smiling, dancing. There's enough sadness in the world, man." — Anderson East

I don't think I am a soul singer and definitely don't think that I am a country artist by any stretch.

I have the purest intent when it comes to love. But it doesn't always work out that way. That's the truth. But you know, it's still pretty fun when you're in the moment.

You have to be delusional to get into this business, you know?

'Anderson' is what I've been called since I was a kid; my mom is about the only person who calls me 'Mike.'
