Red Bow Records Joe Nichols has one of the richest voices in country music, and he’s sharing a few tips on how he keeps his instrument in tip-top shape.
“Don’t smoke!” Joe tells the Las Vegas Sun. “When I was younger, I thought it was cool. The wisest thing I’ve ever done besides marrying my wife is quit smoking.”
Most singers who smoke find that their voices suffer. Smoking and singing makes you more prone to injury and, over time, there is no question that smoking can cause irrevocable deterioration of your voice.
With this in mind, if you are a singer looking to protect your voice, you might want to consider switching to vaping. Vaping is often considered to be a safer alternative to smoking and therefore a lot of people use vaping as a way to ease the transition process.

Joe also limits how much he talks before his shows and uses proper breathing techniques he’s learned over the years.
As for the quality of his voice, Joe admits it has changed since he first hit the country scene 13 years ago.
He explains, “It’s more about control now than trying to hit every lick and over-singing. My voice has matured in 13 years. It’s deeper, and I’ve learned to hold out notes, not go high and low but singing with more emphasis and keeping it pleasant.”
You can check out Joe’s stellar voice on his brand-new single, “Freaks Like Me.” It’s the lead release from Joe’s upcoming studio album, expected out in 2016.
