Nashville has become sort of this go-to writing city for every genre.
The thing about Nashville is, it's not just country music...There's rock & roll, there's every kind of music. It's just a music town...There's so much fun stuff to get in to.
Seattle very much benefited from this geography where it was a town nobody had really heard of in terms of a music scene. So we had that factor of being a new discovery.
Chicago, we always had it. People just shied away because it's nothing businesswise from the industry. Everybody from Chi will go to N.Y.C. or L.A. - R. Kelly to Kanye to even Twista. Everybody is great from there, but it's nothing downtown.
My love of music has been ever-growing, and to live in Music City - I don't want to live anywhere else.
Atlanta is just different. It's the music city.
Over the years I've had more and more of an association with Nashville.
As rich as Cincinnati was in live music, New York was even more.
It just seems like Baltimore, talent-wise, nothing can touch it.
