How did people get started in the industry before platforms like The Voice and American Idol? For many, their breaks came by producing and circulating demos of the songs they'd written. The big goal? Become a recording artist. The short-term goal? Have someone else record their songs and start making a name for themselves. This is exactly what happened for hit country songwriter and recording artist Rhett Akins. After dropping out of college and spending time working at his father's oil and gas company, he started creating demos and submitting them to the big companies. One of those demos led him to record his own album and he has since spent the last 25 years helping to change the world of country music. He's had numerous number one hits and has hit the triple threat charts multiple times. His work is truly prolific and it all started with him and his brothers creating a “band” in their bedroom. Rhett has a love of music that has pushed him through good and bad times in the industry and it will sustain him as we move into a new era of writing and recording. Listen as he and Andy discuss his early days in the industry, the motivation behind his songs, and one of the biggest downfalls of the industry. Rhett is extremely open about his experiences and even takes the time to sing one of his favorite songs. This is one interview you won't want to miss if you're craving that down-to-Earth soulfulness and vibe from the artists you love.   Show Highlights: [00:10] Rhett Akins has spent the last 25 years changing the world of country music.
