I live in the heart of Nashville, and I have spent most of my life chasing one simple thing. The truth, told well, set to music.

I am a producer, a songwriter, an artist developer, and along the way I became what I like to call an accidental landlord. Back when social media was brand new, I figured out how to reach people directly, before anyone called it a strategy. That one choice changed everything.

Over the years it grew into more than two billion combined views and streams as a fully independent artist, and it helped open a door for a whole generation of creators who wanted to do it their own way.

That same independent path led me to share rooms with people I grew up admiring, including Jason Derulo, The Beach Boys, Jason Mraz, and Earth, Wind and Fire. I got to perform my song Yellow Boxes on NBC's Today Show as their Artist of the Month, which is one of those moments I still have a hard time believing happened.

But the part I am most proud of is what came next. I built Song House, a real community for creators, because I know how lonely this road can feel and I wanted to make a warmer one.
