Mason Ramsey Teaches How To Yodel (VIDEO)

Eleven-year-old Mason Ramsey became a country music sensation overnight when he went viral on social media after being filmed in a Walmart yodeling to Hank Williams's "Lovesick Blues." And now, he's revealing the secrets to his skills!

Mason surprised the crowd at this year's iHeartCountry Festival in Austin, Texas (May 5) and performed the tune that made him famous in the first place at his local Walmart, in addition to his brand new single, "Famous."

Backstage at the festival, Mason got to chat with another "lil'" star ... Little Bobby Bones! The pint-sized version of the "Bobby Bones Show" host talked to Mason about all of his newfound fame, and also asked him to teach how he yodels.

Mason's social media says he's been singing since he was three years old, but during his interview, he explains that he picked up yodeling pretty quickly. He said, "Well, the first time I ever tried it I got it just like that, but it didn't sound too good. But it, took me a couple days, and I got it!"

Then, Little Bobby Bones asked Mason to teach him how to yodel. Ramsey explained, "It's like up, down, up, down. Just like that. You go from the low to high to low to high to low. Just like that."

Elsewhere backstage, Mason also talked about what life has been life since his Walmart yodeling video went viral. He said, "There's a lot been going on in my life for the past month when 30 days ago I was singing in a Walmart, and here I am in Texas, and at the Opry, and everywhere; Ellen, Stagecoach, Coachella, everywhere."

But, his favorite thing he's done so far? Performing at the Grand Ole Opry, of course! He describes singing at the iconic country music venue as "amazing" ... "50 million amazings" to be exact. See Mason's interview below, and watch him play Darts for the first time! He's already pro.
