Country music fan<\/h2>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s leaning into country music pretty much 150 percent,\u201d said Blake. \u201cHe\u2019s a fan of older country music and newer country music, which has been pretty crazy for us to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blake told\u00a0People\u00a0that he has never tried to \u201cforce\u201d his music on the boys, adding: \u201cI think just accidentally throughout his lifetime, when he rides in the truck with me somewhere, he can\u2019t help but hear whatever station I have on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kingston\u2019s future<\/h2>\n

Kingston appears to be following closely in his father\u2019s footsteps with a love of rock music including the Deftones and the Smashing Pumpkins.<\/p>\n

But Blake is over the moon regardless of the genre that the boys are into, even going so far as to\u00a0buy Kingston a Logic studio to help him learn the recording process,\u00a0<\/strong>and reveal that he is leaning towards life as a songwriter.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cAs opposed to really recording so much for himself, he\u2019s begun to work with other people and he\u2019s written some way legit, Justin Bieber-quality singles. I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh god, it\u2019s really good. I can\u2019t believe it.\u2019 He has such a great ear for melody,\u201d Blake told Us Weekly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
