Spencer Battiest, Choctaw, has toured 25 cities in just over a month as part of a group of 2015 rising stars in the music industry. He has three music videos set to come out this year, along with more concerts. With the release of his four-track EP “Stupid in Love” in October, Battiest delivers a small dose from what he likens to a personal diary.
“I’m an emotional writer, so I write about what I know,” he told ICTMN. “I tend to write about love and relationships and loss and family and experiences that I’ve [had]. That’s the only way I know to write songs.”
