Kolton Pierce gained quite a fan base after starring in a Lifetime reality show called Marrying Millions on which he dated Katie Hamilton. The show was extremely popular with Lifetime's audience but had another surge of popularity when the reality show was dropped on HULU recently. Though he got his start in the public eye as a laid back guy with beautiful locks, he has so much more to say. Kolton writes, records and produces his own music, and it's ridiculously good. He's been working on his craft for years and has recently released the music to the public.
The Sarah Scoop Show was so happy to have Kolton as a guest on the show where he talked about the truth behind reality tv, his new music, and his beloved hair! Check it out:
Reality Television Experience
Everybody wants to know what it's really like to be on a reality television show. We love that Kolton gave us an inside look at his experience, especially since it was his first time doing a project of that nature.
"At first it was a little nerve-racking cause I'm not a person that likes cameras in my face, which is odd since I make music and music videos, and stuff like that. Even for a while, it took a little for me to get comfortable with that and whenever I watched the show back I realized from the first scene I was in 'til the end, I ended up getting comfortable with it, but at first it was just weird. I just wasn't used to it. Other than that it wasn't too bad. I kinda knew, in a sense, what I was getting into. It's kinda one of those things where when you're making music and people say, 'not everyone's gonna like your stuff and you're going to hear hate...you're just gonna have to ignore it'. It's just a lot different when it's actually happening, so it took a little bit for me to get on a grip on how to handle that.'"

Fans Reaction
We are glad to hear that fans of the show have been kind to Kolton since the show's release on popular streaming service, HULU. Between his kind personality and his amazing hair, he quickly became a fan favorite.
"I think they were more critical when it was on Lifetime, but since it's been on HULU, a lot of people will DM me and ask really any question. A lot of people say like, 'sorry if this is straightforward', but it doesn't really bother me since, you know, I'm pretty open about every aspect of my life anyway. Other than that, people haven't really been critical towards me. They've been pretty supportive."

Day-To-Day Life
"It just depends on where I'm at. During the end of the show, I went out to places in Fort Worth and Dallas a little bit more and people started to recognize me. That was kinda weird...so for me, I make music and I want people to recognize me for that. People wanna take pictures or this or that in airports or sometimes I'd be working out at the gym and people wanted to take pictures. That's cool- I did it with them, but I know they want to take pictures because I was on tv, but personally to me, I didn't do anything really special."

Musical Beginnings
"When I was at Texas State, I wanted to play basketball and my knee was really bugging me...I was gonna have surgery on it a couple years later, but at the time I didn't know, so all the kids I was hanging out with, they wanted to freestyle rap. So, I ended up getting my own equipment. That way, we could all hang out and do this. At that time, I was only recording for them. I wasn't in the booth doing anything; I wasn't recording on a mic. So, eventually one day, some kid didn't show up and one of my buddies was like, 'you should get in there' and I had just been around them so much that I kinda just winged it."

Telling His Story
"It's a weird situation because for me, I think that everything you go through, essentially makes you who you are today and not to say that you couldn't have learned those lessons in a different way. The whole 'everything happens for a reason' is a very touchy subject whenever you start getting into stuff that can be difficult in life and it didn't need to happen per se. Yeah, I'm just open about that stuff because there are people who have been through a lot of things and they don't really have a platform... It's hard to deal with that stuff and just say it and put it out there because you're being so vulnerable and I have been blessed to be put in a situation where, it took me a while to get okay with that and now that I am, I want to speak for other people.

Connecting with Fans
"I've had people DM me and say they really connected with me saying that stuff and that was really the goal of that. I wanna let people know they're really not alone and I am who I am."
