Jimmie Allen Reveals What the Cameras at the 2022 ACM Awards Missed

He struggles with taking time off, he said, because he’s still of the mindset that he has to be working toward his dream 24/7. Added the country artist, “I spent 11 years in Nashville trying to get a record deal. That was the time I was living in my car.”

“I was a janitor, had all these jobs,” Jimmie continued. “I can’t just shut it off now. There’s so many opportunities and so many things that I want to do. So I always told myself, once I get in the door, I’m grabbing everything. I want people to get sick of seeing me.”

Hear more from Jimmie in the above Daily Pop interview. His new single, “Down Home,” is out now, and the music video premieres on March 18.
