David Archuleta reflects on coming out at age 30: ‘I wish when I was a little kid that there was someone talking about this’ – I had my first feelings of attraction were towards girls, but then guys started after, and that’s when I was really confused. I’m like, “Why do I feel this regardless of the gender?” I was really uncomfortable because I didn’t know what that meant.

Caleb Lee Hutchinson Says Miranda Lambert Is The “Most Authentic Artist” On Country Radio – “All of my favorite songwriters are storytellers, and I think it’s cool that sometimes you can tell a story based entirely on your own experiences,” says Hutchinson in an exclusive Music Mayhem interview. “It can be very autobiographical, and other times you’re just telling a story out of nowhere.
