Seth Ennis has a theory about the way he and other new artists, like Kane Brown and Luke Combs, were influenced by music. Seth thinks that the iPod was a big part of creating an atmosphere where you’d buy what you liked at the time, load it in to your iPod, and then shuffle through all the different genres. But it didn’t matter going from a country song, to a rap song, to a hip hop song and then back to country music, because it was a mix of what you liked. From that, Seth thinks “you’re seeing these writers that are writing our songs on the radio now and you’re seeing the younger artists that are coming up now and the younger fan generation, too, are all in that generation of they didn’t really care if it was country or rap or whatever it was. They only cared about listening to what they like and what felt good to them at the time.” So, we’re betting there’s someone loading Seth’s song “Woke Up In Nashville” into their favorite mix now too.

“People, my age and new artists like Kane (Brown) and Luke (Combs) and stuff like that, I feel like we were all born and raised in the iPod generation. Everyone that I grew up with in middle school and high school, we bought records but at the same time we would put our records on our iPods. So it’s not…you’re just buying country music, or you’re just buying rap and hip-hop, you’re just buying this. It’s like you have all this different stuff on an iPod and you can hit that shuffle button and you just listen to music. You don’t really care about what it is. You just listen to what you like. And then so, I think you’re seeing these writers that are writing our songs on the radio now and you’re seeing the younger artists that are coming up now and the younger fan generation, too, are all in that generation of they didn’t really care if it was country or rap or whatever it was. They only cared about listening to what they like and what felt good to them at the time.”
