I was kind of going that route with my country music. Indie country. Which would work, if I was playing on Americana stages. Unless I had a television outlet like 'Glee'.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Americana Music is about all sorts of different music. It's very free and open: a world where people just like authentic music.
I expect to make a career out of country music.
I want to make music that somehow connects to the things that I love in America music.
I think regardless of where people are from, country music is a through line.
The music scene is more competitive in the States.
I'm treating country music like it's a sport. I'm looking at where my competition is and realized I needed to work on my songwriting.
With streaming services, the walls have come down a bit on genres. So I never really set out to make a country record or a pop record. I just wanted to make it mine.
There's no way we could play a country song as well as a country band or a Latin song as well as a Latin band. We could never expect to do that. We just keep doing what we do, what we know how to do. We sound like ourselves.
There's been a shift: Country music is popular music now. Every other genre wants to come over to our land.
Country music belongs to America.
