Hailing from Spring Hill, Tennessee, kt! emerges from a region known primarily for country and Indie music. While the local sound has its own charm, it presents unique challenges for kt!, who finds it a bit difficult to create and promote the style of music he’s truly passionate about. “I’m from Spring Hill, Tennessee. It’s mostly just Country and indie, which makes it a little hard to make the stuff I like and promote it,” kt! shares.
Despite the hurdles, his dedication to carving out his own space in the industry remains unwavering. kt!’s main goal in music is rooted in purpose and healing. Through his work, he aims to help others, using his own life as a platform for connection. “My main goal in music is to help everyone.

Looking ahead, kt! also has thoughts on the broader music industry and how it treats emerging talent. “I would change how labels handle their artist.

While the road may not be traditional, his voice is one that’s carving out space, no matter the odds.
