Combs Didn't See Singing as a Real Job
30 Jan
Summary
- Luke Combs never imagined singing as a viable career path.
- He viewed famous musicians as existing on a different planet.
- His parents encouraged dreams within realistic expectations.
Country music artist Luke Combs revealed in a recent interview that he never envisioned a career in professional singing, finding the concept unfathomable during his youth.
Combs explained that while he always loved singing, he didn't connect it to a potential job. He described growing up with a working-class mindset, where his parents encouraged him to chase his dreams but within perceived realistic boundaries. He humorously recalled thinking famous musicians lived on a separate 'famous planet' and that he might have to pursue more conventional careers like banking or opening a restaurant.
Despite this initial disbelief, Combs' parents consistently supported his singing endeavors. He acknowledged that his father's pragmatic outlook, suggesting he wouldn't become a star like Garth Brooks, was realistic given the rarity of such success. Now a Grammy-nominated artist with numerous hit songs and awards, Combs' career has far surpassed those early doubts.
