[ Music ]
>> Nashville's definitely the place to be.
If you want to-- if you're trying to be a
country singer, you pretty much have to be here.
This is where everyone's at,
this is where the connections
that you need to make-- everyone's here.
And Nashville's the best.
Even if I didn't do music, I
would probably want to be here.
Unfortunately it's not totally about
the voice or else a lot of people
on the radio today would not be on the radio.
It's-- I mean you have to have the
look, you have to have personality,
you have to have money behind you.
It's a look game and who
you know and who they know.
And so it's a lot more than just the voice.
I feel like you probably
have to be born with it.
If you like to sing, you can
take lessons and get better,
but as far as probably having an actual
chance, I think it's probably a gift from God.
Nowadays with YouTube and just being able--
you can just put your own song on iTunes.
You know, so if you have a YouTube
channel, there's some kid out in Denver
who has a YouTube channel and he has, like,
millions of people watching his videos.
So he puts a song on iTunes and
a million people go and buy it.
So, I mean, you don't need
a record deal for that.
You're making your own money.
