ABOUT TROY CASTELLANO

My name is Troy Castellano. I am a songwriter and music producer based out of Nashville Tennessee. After playing years in cover and original bands in my home state of Minnesota, I decided move to Nashville to dedicate my time to “create instead of imitate”. A true songwriter at heart, I enjoy the process of creating something from the ether and touching people with it. I like to say “that’s the best reward any creator could ever ask for, to touch and to move people with the emotion of music and words." Since moving to Nashville I have had some of my songs on "hold" with major country music artists such as Keith Urban and The Oak Ridge boys and have a number of cuts with independent artist. I am passionate about making music and I will continue to writing songs, songs that mean something to the listeners!
