Riley Green's career has had a major glowup, and that brings a packed busy schedule along with it. From music to The Voice to Marshals, Green has been everywhere lately. And that hasn't left much time for the country singer to get some beauty rest.
"The biggest battle I face in my career now is just that I'm sleepy all the time," Green said. "And it doesn't do well during a country music show to be yawning on the stage."
Fame has also affected his personal life in various ways.
Country Singer Always Tired
"When I'm out with my family and we're at a restaurant, it's an awkward feeling because I don't want to take away from somebody else's evening by causing some kind of ruckus," he told the outlet. "I can't go to another show because I wouldn't want to cause somebody to be paying attention to me when somebody's on stage performing. And one day I'll shave my mustache and go wherever I want."
For that reason, Green previously said that he was glad that he didn't get famous earlier in life. He said that he was fortunate to be obscure in his 20s.
"If I would have had any type of success similar to this when I was in my early 20s, it [would have] been ugly," he said. "I think you get a bit mature and you can kinda step back from things a little easier as you get older. I was really fortunate that my success was really gradual."
Still, the country singer is excited to expand his audience with new ventures.
"Obviously, my career in country music has grown quite a bit over the last few years," he told Billboard, "but when you start talking about something like The Voice and being in front of an audience that probably hasn't heard of me before — it's exciting to be in a completely different world than [country music] and hopefully reach some brand-new fans."
