News It's 3 minutes past 9. Tim Rogers country on D.V.C. Radio link you show. This is Jim Rogers country on B.B.C. Radio Lincolnshire I am the aforementioned And with me right now a man is described in my biog here as a Grammy award winning American singer songwriter record producer and multi instrumentalist I'm sure there's much more to Chris De Stefano than just that he's with me right now on the program good to have you in. Thanks so much Tim super excited to be here it's been amazing Gosh you're a bit of a fan of a country I think I absolutely am I. Were talking before the interview here just I think it's close to a sibling as I have my brother who I call my brother we. Was born born here and yeah and we've been been super close obvious ever since since I was about 4 years old so I feel like there's kind of a real real connection with London with the U.K. Rather and I haven't I haven't been here since I was about 10 and I was only here for 6 hours so this is kind of a lifelong in a dream come true for you know so many reasons Well it's good to have you over here and I think a lot of people will already know your name and probably pronounce it better than me as well as a songwriter rather than the singing I know the singing the singing part of it's coming out very quickly and you're having a lot of success with that but I mean you've had hits with people like Carrie Underwood Brettle DRI Julie Bryan Miranda Lambert people like that and that's wonderful I mean how long did it take to get to that sort of status Well I mean you know it's really true what they say it takes 10 years to become an overnight success my case 15 years ago you could see a little longer only the extra 5 I guess for that's are I mean a lot you know it I don't take it for granted I know it doesn't happen for a lot of people so. You know just stay the course for a long time and never never quit ever since I was a little kid I wanted wanted to you know to be involved in music and I love music ever since I was a look at that's how to listen to some of you carry on and would any particular favorite song you wrote. Gosh you know they I feel like they all kind of make each other special being so many no no but but you know if I could just be there's definitely different angles to each of them I think good girl was my 1st number one ever so that's always has kind of a special place in my heart and. You know we got together one day in it was one of I think it was the. 2nd time I ever ever written with Kerry and now we got together in my little hole in the wall again this is before and never had I had had any success at the time in my little hole in the wall studio apartment in Los Angeles and. Carrie came by and we wrote wrote a song with my good friend Ashley Corley and and yeah and it was again even even though you feel like you've got something great you never want to anticipate that being a single or even getting cut so you kind of just keep your hopes at bay a little bit you know you can get really excited at the end of the day and I feel like that's that's really where the the the big win is you know when you're just like we really got a great one today that that's all you can hope to do as a songwriter but yeah I want to became a big old head that was that was that was a super special moment so yeah but they're all different they're all super special in so many ways something in the water a lot of times if somebody asked me to perform one song it's something in the water just feel super emotionally connected to that song and yeah and it's just again I feel like God was in the room the day we wrote that as well so it's there's just there's so many and they're all different but yeah it's my 1st number one how did you feel can you remember that moment you know it's surreal because you don't like in the moment it's like OK you know the song so well obviously you lived with it for you know however many weeks it was it was on the chart. And it's sometimes difficult as a you know that 1st number one difficult to really get perspective of just how many . People it's impacted and when I feel like it was really at that end of the I was driving down the never forget I was driving down Sunset Boulevard I was actually kind of living in Nashville and Los Angeles when that song ended up becoming a hit I was back and forth all the time but when I 1st heard it on the radio I was driving down Sunset Boulevard and I had had go country on the on the on the the radio and it came on and it was like oh my gosh it sounded so good on the radio and I was just you know it definitely I remember had the windows down I was like you know it was that moment you know but but it's still you re I feel like the at the number one party was really when the perspective kind of hit me when they were I think they they announced it impacted like 750000000 listeners or something and it was so many people you're just like you know there's a lot of people that have heard this song you know and and there's also another dynamic too when you're hearing it for the 1st time in an arena setting where there's you know 20 plus 1000 people and you're just looking around at you know so many people that you don't know when they're all singing the words to your song it's pretty pretty spectacular feeling to questions What was the driving that. It was a 2000 and. 6 Mitsubishi Eclipse What do you drive now you've had a few hits OK All right come on we're in the U.K. Right I have a Range Rover into Jaguars life is change you know it has but they're safe and I have a little 19 month old beautiful little 19 month old daughter so we know it's definitely all about safety and we got in the Range Rover I got the Range Rover for my wife just because again safety reasons a great car it's just you know. Truck and yeah and I just enjoyed that so much I had a 2010 Ford Taurus that I bought for my dad for many years and I just enjoyed the Range Rover so much I was like maybe we can check out you know change it up a little bit keep it under the same umbrella and I drove the Jaguar and yes they do drive very nice so yes are British cars from.

My guess is country right now is Chris De Stefano and we're talking about the songwriting process is that something you have to slave. Just so many ideas in your head you can't wait to put them down on your i Pad Oh gosh I wish I wish that was the case some ideas come easier than others but. The good one the really good songs tend to be easier they tend to kind of write themselves a little bit it's like if they're if you have a concept or an idea with a lot of depth to it you tend to be able to just kind of grab those ideas do you listen to what people are talking about at the time to get ideas from people's conversations absolutely here we're all. Listened to what people are saying and you know in the room or friends or whatever sometimes somebody else ace on the go did that this is anything I've said.
