Shane Profitt vividly remembers getting one of his favorite presents for Christmas, because it was quite an eventful morning that ended with a bang.
“My sister was workin’ at Burger King in Columbia, and she saved up and she bought a yellow moped. And she would come pick me up on that moped at the bus stop every day from school. And for Christmas, I wanted my own moped. Christmas morning, I walked in the living room, that moped was sittin’ right there and it was already charged, which was a mistake. You know, you’re a little kid you’re excited for Christmas morning. It wasn’t even daylight yet. It was about five in the morning, and I got on this moped in my house, and I didn’t understand how it worked apparently. And I pressed the throttle and it took off, and I crashed that moped into the wall. There was a big hole in the wall for about two weeks before the drywall company could come and fix it.”
Shane has got a pretty good Christmas gift this year as his debut single “How It Oughta Be” is inside the top 30 and climbing.
