Averie Bielski: From TikTok Breakthrough to Publishing Deal & Finding Her Voice
Q: What would you tell the girl who moved to Nashville at 18 and was just starting out?
Trust your gut, don't overthink every interaction, and be present in the moment. Build your circle, say yes to opportunities, and remember that your path is unique even if others seem further along.
Hannah McFarland: Bar Gigs to Arena Tours, Viral Moments & Life with Chase Rice Fans
Q: When did you feel social media started to impact your career?
Late 2023, just before the Zach Bryan moment, with bursts of growth from videos that resonated, and now I'm seeing that even random, goofy posts can gain traction.
Aaron Watson: A Horse Named Texas, Going for Broke & 25 Songs Deep
Q: What motivated the title and concept of Horse Named Texas?
Watson explains that the album is a self-portrait of his journey, blending nostalgia, independence, and a relentless pursuit of authentic country music that stays true to his roots while expanding his live show energy.
Taylor Austin Dye: “Man For That,” Ride or Dyes & The Damn Good Day Tour
Q: What are you most excited about for this year?
Taylor expresses excitement about the radio impact of Man For That on March 30 and the opportunity to tour broadly with the Damn Good Day Tour, including visiting several new markets and expanding her fanbase for a wider regional reach.
Madden Metcalf: Saltwater Southern, Florida Roots & Fast-Rising Momentum
Q: What pushed you to pursue music over pursuing college football scholarships?
I weighed my options with my dad's support, chose music because he valued passion over a traditional path, and found a path through a mentor's guidance that proved you can build something meaningful in music by staying true to your roots.
