Rising star, Carter Faith, is an artist that leaves it all on the page, and in this episode she talks honestly about being true to the artist you are and not censoring yourself to compete for the most airplay. She also discusses the sound of her ACM nominated album, Cherry Valley, and why she wanted her debut record to be \"something you could really sink your teeth into.\"
She also shares how Taylor Swift was a big inspiration to her growing up, and how nobody was more shocked than Carter to find herself writing with Taylor’s long time collaborator, Liz Rose, before she had even graduated! Carter also reveals some of her struggles with social anxiety and pre-show nerves, and how unlike when she’s writing, she can sometimes feel a little out of place as a performer. Carter has perfected the art of doing it scared, and lifts the lid on the ways she made sure she would have a career as a songwriter in Music City.
Carter also reveals what life was like growing up in her hometown, why Nashville finally feels like home now, and how her unlikely friendship with Billy Bob Thornton came about.
