Texas is where I found my musical self.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Texas is really special in that we have our own music scene, our own music chart. It's almost a genre on its own. It feels like you can make a great living just touring the state because it's so big, but eventually, I wanted a new challenge.
When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.
Texas is a hotbed of insanely good bands and musicians.
In L.A. everyone is an actor. In Texas, everyone's a musician.
There's so much music in Austin, and it's all so different.
And to me, I had come out of Texas, and during that time was when I realized that a lot of people in Nashville, their idea of what country music was was not the same as mine.
In cities like New York and Austin, there's much more of a social context for music than in other places.
Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!
I am lucky to live in Austin, so I can enjoy the live music.
Being from Texas, acting or music isn't really a thing to do.
