Days before his debut album There I Go dropped, rising country artist Vincent Mason sits down with Tamara Dhia to talk about the three-year journey behind the record and how heartbreak, hustle, and a John Mayer co-sign helped shape it.

Mason opens up about writing his fastest-growing single “Damn I Do,” what he learned touring with Luke Bryan, and why playing the Grand Ole Opry still makes him nervous. He also shares stories from the road, the song that changed everything (“How Is a Dance Floor”), and how Peyton Manning ended up in one of his tour announcement videos.
