Vital Stats

Name: Brad Collins
Age: 30
Hometown: Originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky

Heroes: "One of them would be George Jones, George Strait, and probably, Tim McGraw. Big, big fan of Tim McGraw. He had a hard time starting out. He started out, to my knowledge, it was kind of karaoke, and that's pretty much how I got started.When I did my first show anyway, it was kind of like a karaoke type thing."

I definitely know what hard work is. I respect hard working people. I'm true blue, down home roots country.

Favorite Country Artist: "Jason Aldean. He just, I like his whole stage presence. I like his upbeat music, and he just reminds me of somebody you would see getting down on the farm."

Country Crush: "I would probably have to say Miranda Lambert. Yeah, I think she's pretty hot."
