About Me

I've been here in Nashville for the past 22 years, my entire life. Music has always been around me, whether Ive been listening to it or not. It took a good while before i started to take note of the music that came out of nashville. Country, like coffee has to sometimes be an aquired taste. But I began listening to people like Johnny Cash and it was the end of it there. Piano was an instrument I had taken lessons on for 5 years up to my eighth year in school. Shortly into highschool I quit lessons and found myself putting words to chords I would play around with. Writing songs became something I fell in love with. I have now been writing for the past seven years..and it is safe to say it is in my blood now. I am currently at Belmont University pursuing an education in Music Business. I love nashville and the life that breathes here.I am in love with rock and roll. please check out my band Kennedy (@ kennedyrock). My brother Collin Brace and I have been at it for 3 years and counting now. He and I are signed writers at Parthenon Music Group here in Nashville with Antoinette Olesen. --troy akers.**[i write everyday becos i have been called to. and i believe that God will take that and use it to bless people's lives as He sees fit. i write becos i have been called to. |rivers.rutherford|]**[LOVEMYFLASH]
