TechnoratiWe finished the tour a week ago, and our bus driver is now just coming back from the place we finished the tour. It’s funny, because it’s been about a week later and it was still in the shop. It’s had to sit and get fixed, so hopefully he will be back here tomorrow with the bike and all the gear.
CP: Now, about your musical side – you have become one of the more notable Christian singers and songwriters today. How would you describe your experience as a Christian musician so far?
Schultz: I think it’s been great. For me, I’ve never been much into the industry side of it, you know. I started out as a youth director of a church in Nashville, writing songs for the youth group and all that. That’s where I really get my inspiration from, from the relationships I formed at church and just getting to watch what goes on there and how God works in those lives. So I guess my goal has always been to write real songs about real life that deal with real people, and that just helped so much by being a youth director and being involved with the church.
CP: OK, final question; What would you say is the best aspect of being able to be a professional Christian performer?
Schultz: Man, that’s a good question. The best aspect for me, again, I think it’s the relationships you get to have. You know, I also love that I can be able to write songs. To me – this is what I love to do in a nutshell – I love getting inspired and writing a song. Then, there’s nothing better than taking that song and playing it to people for the first time. That for me is about the greatest gift, to see people’s reactions, because that’s truly where…you know, one guy told me one time that we could really take life and turn it into art. I hope that’s why people want to hear my songs. They’re not supposed to think, ‘Oh, that’s a really nice song,’ but I hope that something really touches them deep inside and they go, ‘Gosh, that’s really helps me in my quest to become a better person.’
