Cassadee Pope splits her time between Nashville and Los Angeles, and she says she loves both places for different reasons, but as an artist she loves Nashville because it inspires her. She says, “Everybody works so hard, there’s music everywhere and it keeps making me want to work harder on my craft. You go out to a bar and not meaning to you end up discovering an artist who is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard and one of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard and it’s like, OK, well I could probably polish my chops a little more on the guitar.”
Cassadee also loves that in Nashville she’s surrounded by a lot of people who are in the music industry and understand her lifestyle and her schedule. She says, “It’s nice to have friends that get what you do.”
Cassadee is currently working on her sophomore album, which will feature her latest single, “I Am Invincible.”

Cassadee Pope – living in Nashville 1:07
“There’s so many differences, big differences. As a Florida girl, the weather in L.A. is definitely appealing, but what I love about Nashville is this is such an inspiring city. Everybody works so hard, there’s music everywhere and it keeps making me want to work harder on my craft. You go out to a bar and not meaning to you end up discovering an artist who is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard and one of the best guitarists I’ve ever heard and it’s like, OK, well I could probably polish my chops a little more on the guitar. It is…you’re surrounded. And there’s more parking, which is lovely. I’ve made some really great friends here. A lot of people in Country music live here, so anybody, any artist, or even just musicians that back an artist on tour, anybody I’ve met on tour, they live here and I can hang out with them. It’s nice to have friends that get what you do, whereas in L.A. I have friends there as well, but not all in the music industry, so sometimes it’s hard to connect with people on a level like that.”
