#008 - Troy Cartwright - Hung Up On You, Dallas to Boston, & Getting his start

#WindyCityJoes #TroyCartwright #HungUpOnYou

Windy City Joe's Michael & Jackson sit down with the amazing Troy Cartwright to find out about the story behind his hit song Hung Up On You, his early start in music, and the biggest differences when going between Dallas & Boston.

Cartwright grew up in Dallas, Texas where he was given a guitar for his twelfth birthday and started penning his own songs shortly thereafter. By the time he hit high school, he was regularly playing in bars and local venues in town. A summer program at New York University exposed Cartwright to the world outside of Dallas and inspired him to head even further from home to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts where he studied music business and songwriting. During college, he worked odd jobs in the music industry, including a stint as a wedding singer. Upon graduating in 2012, Cartwright moved back to Texas to pursue his own music career.
