Conner Smith was just 16-years-old when he got his first big break in Nashville.
But it wasn’t until 2021 when he really broke out as an artist with his hit song ‘I Hate Alabama.’
Smith went onto the Taste of Country Nights, On Demand podcast and talked about the downside to all that.
“Yeah, the label wants you to keep going viral.”
“I don’t even have TikTok on my phone. I’m here to write country songs, and there’s a whole other side of this industry now. I’m very thankful for kind of what it allows you to do and the way you can get your music out to people and connect with the fans.”
“I’m very grateful, but also, I found that it’s not always healthy for me just to stay on those apps,” he clarifies. “That’s the only downside to it.”
Smith has a new album out now called ‘Smoky Mountains’ if you haven’t given it a listen, we highly recommend you should.
