We had the good fortune of connecting with Carter Lofton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carter, we’d love to hear what makes you happy.
Seeing people smile after listening to my music makes me feel important. Knowing that I hold the power to make someones day puts a smile on my face.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My work ethic is unbeatable. I am willing to work long hours just for one performance. This level of dedication I have toward my dream is rare to find. It wasn’t easy trying to make it where I am today. You have to be willing to fail more times than you do win. What’s most important is what you choose to do after those failures. You have to stand back up after taking a hard fall.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I grew up in Memphis, TN, so most people that come down here come to relax. I would take my best friend to a BBQ house downtown, nature trail walks, and to one of my favorite restaurants called Kami Ramen Bar. When you lived here all your life you start to wonder “How have I had so much fun all these years?”.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
All my inspiration comes from my friends and family. People nowadays seem to underestimate the importance of family. When everything goes wrong, family will be the main people to back you up.
