When we caught up with Kane Brown on Tuesday (June 4), when he was prepping for the CMT Music Awards<\/em>, he didn\u2019t come in with an entourage or ask for any kind of special treatment. He could have. But he didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, it\u2019s weird because I just look at myself as a regular person. Like I still work at Walmart or Lowe\u2019s or somewhere,\u201d Brown told us. \u201cIt means the world to me that people say they look up to me. I just hope that whatever they wanna do, they succeed in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The reluctant role model remarked that he was the first person to really believe in himself, his talent and his future. \u201cI believed in myself and it worked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

But he also admitted that there were artists that influenced him along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cTim McGraw got me into it.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris Young made me love it even more.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then Jason Aldean made me fall in love with the country music scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

(If you scroll back far enough on Brown\u2019s Facebook page, you\u2019ll find the evidence of just how much of an influence Young has always been on Brown.)<\/p>\n

When the conversation turned to his baby daughter, due later this year, Brown shared what his dreams are for her: \u201cI hope that she is a tomboy and I hope that she loves to play basketball or softball,\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n

And his favorite country music video? Sam Hunt\u2019s \u201cTake Your Time,\u201d because of the fight scene at the end. It\u2019s the part where Hunt plays the hero to help rescue a mother and baby from the cycle of domestic violence. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to fight in slow motion in a music video,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n
