Songwriter Craig Wiseman

Craig Wiseman is one of Nashville’s pre-eminent songwriters. He’s had more than a dozen songs reach number one on the country charts.

His most recent include Blake Shelton’s “Boys Round Here,” “Gonna” and “Came Here To Forget” and Florida Georgia Line’s “Anything Goes.”

And, since it never hurts to know what songwriters making it work through the process, who they write with, and how to go about creating a career, I picked out some interviews and live performances of NSAI’s Songwriter of the Decade.
