He Formerly Had Braces
This is the latest chapter in Zimmerman's dental journey. At one time, he wore braces on his teeth. Career-wise, though, they were an issue. Nearly three years ago, the country artist shared that he had them taken off because they affected his singing.
Per People via Today's Country with Kelleigh Bannen, Zimmerman explained, "I was singing for like three people, and this dude that is also an artist named Dylan Wolfe from my hometown, he was like, 'Dude, have you ever tried to be — like actually sing?' and I was like, 'No man.' He was like, 'Well, you need to take your braces off because it's giving you a lisp when you sing, but if you do that, I think you can be an artist.'"
He got the braces removed. It seemed to unleash his creativity. "I was like, 'Don't care, take them off, I'm done.' And a week later, I wrote my first song."
The Singer Is Eager for His Tour To Start Next Year
Zimmerman voiced this observation during the iHeartRadio Muic Festival recently. "I honestly feel like I've been restricted in smaller venues. I have always had this dream and this idea for this arena show — this big, awesome show. I'm really excited to, I guess, prove that next year, I can do it."
He went on, "There's something about being in an arena that brings it back to you, to where you can really control that environment. I'm really excited to show people what I can do in there. I feel like I've been ready for it. I've been dreaming about it. I'm ready, I'm prepared. Let's go!"
