'One Thing Right' singer Kane Brown joined Baylen Leonard to talk about his latest tour in the UK and Ireland. He also revealed how he broke into Country music, with the help and friendship with his former classmate Lauren Alaina - a well-known country singer in her own right.
Despite being a big sports player and fan at school, Kane admitted his mum used to throw him into school plays. Then, once he was in seventh grade he met Lauren, now known for her hits such as 'Road Less Traveled' and appearing on Dancing With The Stars.
Both Kane and Lauren ended up in choir at school, with Kane explaining to Baylen, why it wasn't your average choir, saying, "Sometimes we would watch High School Musical and we would all join in on a song together!"
When it came to choosing a song to sing in front of the class, Kane found himself mumbling, but Lauren noticed him and pointed him out to the choir teacher. "She (Lauren) kind of broke me out of my shell a little bit," Kane revealed.

"I'm still really laid back and don't talk a lot, but she definitely helped a lot," he continued.
The pair's friendship has continued through the years, despite the pair taking different routes to success, with Lauren being a runner up in American Idol, and Kane becoming popular through social media.
During Kane's interview he also revealed why the hugely popular computer game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ruined Piccadilly Circus for him! As fans of the came will know, one of the multiplayer maps is set in Piccadilly Circus, and features the iconic screens and fountain of the busy London location.
As Kane was in London, he decided to stop by and was disappointed to find out that the real Piccadilly Circus didn't match up with the in game map. Some of the tube station entrances are in different places - and who'd have thought to move the scaffolding! 😂
