JT Hodges was raised in a recording studio… literally.
“My family started Fort Worth’s first multi-track recording studio,”
Hodges explains, referring to Buffalo Sound Studios, a facility that played host to artists as disparate as T Bone Burnett and Michael Bolton.
JT jokes that being in the recording studio was part of their chores during his childhood.
“On weekends when there were sessions, Pops would make us vacuum and clean the bathrooms. Once we were done, my brother and I would be so excited to go into my dad’s audio library and listen to record after record, on vinyl or quarter-inch tapes. That was the environment that I grew up in, crawling around under the console starting at 8 months old.”
JT didn’t head straight to Music City after high school, instead he opted for a post-college detour to L.A.. After he graduated from Texas Christian University he followed some buddies out to the west coast for a couple years, hitting the coffeehouse circuit to test out the material he was writing. That’s where he met his “future” wife, an expat from Missouri, who had moved out to L.A.
Hodges and his wife soon migrated to the Music Row songbelt, and in the spring of 2010, he landed a record deal.
JT will release his latest single, “Goodbyes Made You Mine,” at all digital download sites on Valentine’s Day. The new single promises to showcases his unique voice and edgy style.
