These days it’s hard to turn on a country radio station without hearing one of Russell Dickerson’s hits — think “Blue Tacoma” and “Yours.” But it wasn’t that long ago that Dickerson was struggling to have his music heard.

“It’s definitely been a slow journey,” the country singer said in a recent interview. After graduating from Belmont University, Dickerson landed a publishing deal in 2010 but it would take nearly a decade for the singer to gain recognition for his music. Turns out all Dickerson needed was a video camera, $6 and his supportive wife, Kailey.

“The biggest first step was our music video [that] my wife shot,” the singer recalled of coming up with the idea of shooting a video for his song “Yours.” “We had no money, no budget, no nothing and we had been turned down, turned down, turned down.”

That’s when Kailey and Russell decided to take matters into their own hands.

“We’re like, alright, we’re going to do this on our own,” he said, smiling at his wife, who joined the singer in the studio. “So we shot this music video for ‘Yours’ and if you watch it on YouTube, it’s just me walking down a road and my wife is in my SUV just shooting out of the back and it just starts raining and there’s lightning everywhere.

“It was this God moment, totally.” Watch the video here.
