Country music Quote by Cassadee Pope
“I actually started singing country music at 4 years old, right when I started learning how to sing. I would cover a lot of Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes, Trisha Yearwood, that kind of stuff, and it just feels very authentic to me. It's always been there through the years. Even when I was in my band, I still listened to country.”

It's just making music. So now that I've traveled a lot more…” quote by India.Arie](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/188/india-arie-2-7871_acoustics_i-do-experiment-with-lots-of-different-g_42376.jpg)
