I just assumed that it would keep growing, and it didn’t work that way to be honest with you. I didn’t really put that pressure on myself, I was just trying to make an album that would sell. PC: Were you feeling any level of pressure, internally or externally, to achieve a certain level of success with Rednecks Like Us after the success you had with Ain’t Scared to Bleed ?ĬF : Not really, because I was doing it on my own. It was good to get a viral video and get a lot of attention out of the gate. Over the years, there’s been a lot of ups and downs. It kind of pulled back a bit with the follow-up, Rednecks Like Us, even though that’s been my most popular album to date. A lot of people were exposed to my music. I’m about eight albums into it now, so it was good to get things started out that way. Did having that level of success on your debut release give you a certain level of validation in yourself and in the music you were making?ĬF : It was nice that it went viral and did well. PC: You earned a lot of streaming success out of the gate with your debut album Ain’t Scared to Bleed. I grew up in Waco, so just seeing other artists doing it lit a fire under me to want to do it myself. How did that early interest in music translate into you wanting to pursue music as a career?Ĭreed Fisher : I was inspired by other artists that I was exposed to. Pro Country: You wrote your first song at 9 and began playing shows at 12. We chatted with Fisher about the validation his early career success gave him, his country and rock and roll influences that he injects into his music, staying active in the recording studio, the biggest thing he’s learned six years after releasing his debut album and more! As his current single “I’m Growing Older but I’m Not Growing Up” climbs the charts in Texas, he already has a new album of country music slated for release in July, with plans for his next rock album not far behind it. Though 2020 has taken artists off the road, Fisher has no plans of slowing down in the studio. Since Halloween of 2019, Fisher has released an album of straightforward traditional country originals, an album of covers of the songs that influenced him growing up, and most recently, a heavy hitting rock album that debuted at number five on the iTunes rock albums chart. Creed Fisher is a melting pot of influences.
