Despite being just 23 years old, the multi-instrumentalist (he’s a natural-born drummer) has experienced a lot of life. Seth spent his formative years on a military base in Japan, cut his teeth as a touring musician while living in Raleigh and commuting to Nashville, and has now put down roots in Music City, where through perseverance and a dedication to his craft he landed a record deal with Sony Music Nashville.
As he likes to tell it, it was a case of being in the right place at the right time — and having the raw talent to stand out. “There was a battle of the bands competition here in Nashville and when one of the bands dropped out, I got the call,” Seth says. “I called my players together and we killed it.” With the victory, Seth secured a coveted performance spot at CMA Music Festival and caught the eye of Sony, as well as one of the competition’s judges, producer Corey Crowder. Crowder is now in the studio with Seth, both of them co-producing Seth’s debut album.
With the progressive musical risks of current pop music, the finesse of traditional country, strong R&B influences, and a healthy respect for organic sounds (he is a bluegrass fanatic), Seth’s music is poised to establish him as a fresh new voice in the genre, one with a rare global worldview.
“Country music is not that big in Japan,” he admits with a laugh while describing his type of music. “If I were raised in Georgia my whole life, I’d probably sound a lot different than I do. But because of how much I moved around, and all the cultures I experienced, my sound is especially diverse.”
It’s one that will fit right in on country music’s evolving landscape, where production has become just as key as songwriting. Fortunately, Seth excels at both.
“Production is so important to me, and I like to think I have an ear for it. I’m really picky,” he says. “And songwriting is something I’ve gotten better at since moving to Nashville and learning from great writers like Ben Hayslip and Rhett Akins. The best song always wins, even if it’s not my own. I have incredible respect for the writing community.”
For his debut single “Woke Up in Nashville,” Seth wrote with tunesmiths David Hodges and Blair Daly, creating an autobiographical account of his journey to Music City to pursue his dream as a singer-songwriter.
Fittingly, the song begins with Seth loading up his father’s truck and driving north from Georgia. In the studio, Seth played every instrument on “Woke Up in Nashville,” from guitars and bass to drums and piano. He even sang his own background vocals.
Being self-sufficient in the writing room and in the booth is important to the young singer, but he’s excited to collaborate in the encouraging country community. Seth is adamant about maintaining his own sense of identity. While he may unabashedly profess a love for pop melody and rock & roll energy, he’s a country disciple.
“Country is how I was raised. Its stories are about me,” he says. “But Nashville is also a melting pot right now, so I’m thinking huge: What can I do to play internationally? How can I have my songs heard globally? It’s about dreaming big.”
Which has certainly steered him right so far.
Look at You
Seth Ennis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I love it when you flip it 'round back
I been wearin' it all summer long
And it ain't ever looked like that girl
Look at you singing that song
I used to turn it off when it came on
Now it's my favourite when you start singing it
Can't help singing along
'Cause you turn ordinary everyday things
Into something beautiful 'cause you're beautiful
Girl I love to look at you
Walking out the front door
Hopping in my front seat
Sliding over close to me
Yeah, I love to look at you
When you're with your girlfriends
Laughin' 'bout your dancing
Out there making eyes at me
Girl I love to look at you
Just look at you
Yeah I love to look at you
Just look at you
Look at you drinkin' that drink
Little bit spicy, little bit sweet
When you bite your lip and you take a sip
Girl you know you what you're making me think, yeah
Look at you turning it on
Bet you you could have any boy that you want
Look at you making every girl in the room wanna run and put some makeup on
'Cause you turn ordinary everyday things
Into something beautiful cause you're beautiful
Girl I love to look at you
Walking out the front door
Hopping in my front seat
Sliding over close to me
Yeah, I love to look at you
When you're with your girlfriends
Laughin' 'bout your dancing
Out there making eyes at me
Girl I love to look at you
Just look at you
When I look at you
I see forever
Something I never thought I wanted
But I know I want it
Girl I love to look at you
Walking out the front door

Just look at you
Yeah I love to look at you (I love to look at you, love to look at you)
Just look at you
Girl I love to look at you

But I know I want it
I'm sure that I want to be with you forever
