Show Notes
Cornelius Versa grew up loving country music — but it took years (and a few sparkly cowboy hats) to finally claim his place in it. This week on Pride, he joins host Caitlynn McDaniel for a conversation about finding identity, building community, and stepping into the spotlight on his own terms.
Cornelius — also known as the Crystal Cowboy — opens up about his experience on The Voice, the personal story behind his new single Pull the Trigger, and how TikTok (including a viral Wicked country cover!) helped him connect with LA’s queer country scene. He also shares the story of meeting his husband in college, why taking risks changed his career, and gives Caitlynn a hilarious (and slightly chaotic) lesson in yodeling.
Cornelius’s new single Pull the Trigger is available now on all streaming platforms.
