On every content in the world countries have their own versions of Pop, Hip-Hop, Rap and Rock music, but Country music is only associated with America and Nashville is the state most well known for Country music. Even though Los Angeles is home to a majority of famous artists and has a wide range of music present in the city, Nashville is knows as the Music City of America. 

When you think of Nashville you probably think of Honky Tonks, Cowboy boots and hats and country music artists like Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Luke Byran and Carrie Underwood, which is an accurate representation of Nashville, but the city plays a bigger part in music than all of that. The best song-writers for all genres of music live in Nashville because of the rich history of country music song-writing that was born in Nashville. A lot of pop artists like Halsey, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran write and record their music in Nashville because of the famous song-writers and producers that live in Nashville. 

At almost every bar in Nashville you can see young singers and songwriters trying to make it in the music industry and they don't just sing country music, but all other genres like Pop, Rock and R&B. The music culture is very diverse and has a strong presence in Nashville and that is why it is known as Music City.
