Who was the best teacher you ever had — and why?
Jaime Carter. He wasn’t a “school” teacher, but he did teach us how to make records on our own. We made three with him in high school. Also Mr. Davidson and Mr. Roberts, Nick and my choir teachers. Their passion for music was amazing.
What’s your favorite city?
We’ve had an incredible four years here in Nashville, so I guess Nashville, for now.
