Have you ever been to the Music Biz Convention? If so, what’s your favorite memory from the event?
NO, it’s going to be my first time!

What’s the first concert you ever attended OR what’s the best concert you’ve ever attended? What did it mean to you and can you describe the experience?
I had a blast at Bonnaroo last summer. All these amazing musicians on stage and their ability to reach the hearts of so many people simultaneously, getting us to groove and sway, creating a personal connection. The vibe out there was really special… And of course, the brownies.

What song is currently stuck in your head? AND What is your “album of the year”?
Shawn Mendes is incredible. I think he’s going to be huge.

What song is currently stuck in your head? AND What is your “album of the year”?
Starboy by The Weeknd, and it’s also my favorite album this year.

What’s your favorite thing to do in Nashville — besides attend the Music Biz Convention?
Eating Tacos at Bakersfield!
