Music Quotes

Before it was my career, music was my hobby. I did it for fun and I suppose that would’ve continued had there been no career. Moving to Nashville to work in radio is what gave me the opportunity to meet the people who could help make the hobby a career. Odds of success are never good in the music business, but it can give you a leg up if you locate where the decisions are made…and for country music, that’s Nashville. But the best advice is to be sure you’re having fun doing it whether the career works out or not.
