I got my first instrument for Christmas when I was three or four years old. My parents got me a mandolin because it was the only instrument that would fit me because I was so small. I went straight from that into the drums when I was six, and then I started playing guitar when I was seven or eight.

[on how he landed his role on Glee (2009)] Well I originally auditioned for Sue Sylvester's (Jane Lynch's) stand-in because we have the same color hair....No, I'm kidding! I actually got a call from my agent and he asked if I could come down and do an audition for Glee (2009) in like 30 minutes. So I grabbed my guitar and ran over there, and there were so many people in the casting office that they weren't even having people read the lines, they were just having people play a song. So I played one, and they asked me to come back and talk to the casting agent. Then I played the same song again and they asked me to walk out and "discreetely" get my lines, and come back and read. I was there for like five hours. Then I went home and they called and asked me to come back and sing two songs acapella. So then I sang two songs for the studio test and two for the network test and this was all at like 9:30 at night. A week later, I found out I got the part.

[on the meaning of his first name] My dad is in the music business in Nashville. I was the third child born in my family, and there are three notes in a chord, so that's how they came up with my name.
