Kristian Bush

Monica knows how to make a conversation sing—literally. Kristian Bush sits down with Monica to talk about Grammy-winning country act Sugarland and his own solo projects. They also “drink happy thoughts” together as Monica convinces him to perform.    Throughout their chat, they unpack Kristian’s childhood growing up in Appalachia and his journey to stardom, complete with a hug from Dolly Parton. But as the faces of country music keep changing, Kristian makes one thing clear: he loves it. Bring it on, Beyonce.    Be sure to check out the video of this conversation ajc.com.
