Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Houston Bernard. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Houston, thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump back to the first dollar you earned as a creative? What can you share with us about how it happened?

I was 12 years old I was in a carpet cleaning commercial in Alaska. I tracked mud on the carpet and I shrugged my shoulders when moms complained.

Houston, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Born in Oklahoma, and raised in Alaska, Houston has comfortably settled into life as a professional and popular independent country music recording artist who tours everywhere across the United States.

Houston was first exposed to country music while growing up in Norman, Oklahoma by way of his father and uncle, who toured and performed in various country bands. His uncle Johnny Bernard co-wrote “Muddy Mississippi,” a song which appeared on Reba’s 11th studio album Reba Nell McEntire. Both his father Donny Bernard and uncle Johnny toured and backed up country music greats like Tanya Tucker, Wanda Jackson and Sleepy LaBeef. Performing as Rebel Brothers, the Bernards were regulars in the bustling Oklahoma, Texas and Nashville country music scenes throughout the 70’s.

“I can remember all the way back to when I was about five years old, when I wrote some of my first little songs or jingles,” Houston recalls. “A couple of them I still remember to this day. It is kind of like breathing, it just happens and you don’t analyze it until later in life.”

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

That Im as good as I will get and settle for that. Nope, I learned its better to always be improving and learning.

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

I get my emotions out, happy, sad, fun whatever, it all comes and out, but the best part is sharing it with others who enjoy it.
