Today's focus is on an artist who came to Nashville with two things on his back: a guitar and a New York rocker's chip. He also brought a pure love of the music that few others have found.

Anthony K. Culver was born in Massachusetts and raised in New York; at a young age he discovered his unique voice and an ability to use it to reach out and touch people. Anthony K started his music career as a rocker, but it didn't take him long to discover the songs he wrote came directly from his heart in a style that was true country, landing him in that niche where rock and country come together. He's written well over 150 songs since first picking up his beloved guitar, each one with a deep, special meaning to him.

But behind the music, behind the tough stage persona, lays a heart that writes songs that not only can people relate to, but songs that move those listening. Behind the music is a man that worked with autistic children, a man that after watching a documentary about devastation after the tsunami in South Asia, put together a benefit concert. He has also used his talents on benefit shows to raise money for cancer research and treatment. All because he simply wants leave his mark on the world we all live in.

In 2010, Anthony K headed to Nashville from his home in New York, looking to make a name for himself. He has performed throughout Music City, including showcase shows for CMA Week and the Billboard Country Music Summit. He has also opened for artists like James Otto, Easton Corbin and Craig Morgan. But Anthony K is more than just a man with a guitar and a voice...he is a true musician and has worked with many artist across genres, simply for the sheer pleasure of playing music.
