Louisiana's heart and soul is music that makes you want to move, and one artist that we are proud to claim is Bryson Bernard, but you know him as Cupid.

You can't attend a wedding, birthday party, or crawfish boil, at least not one we would want to attend, without hearing the 'Cupid Shuffle'. While he is known for his line dances, if you are lucky enough to see him live, you will get to hear him showcase his gospel roots.

He hasn't stopped releasing catchy line dance songs since the 'Cupid Shuffle', in fact, with the help of social media, songs like 'Flex' and 'Cookout' have continued to go viral online.

It makes our Louisiana heart proud to see that Cupid got his flowers from the state of Louisiana on Thursday.
