Canaan’s mom and sister also live nearby in Music City.

“Only my dad and one of my older brothers aren’t here now,” Canaan explains. “They live in Florida. It’d be cool to all be in the same town again.”

Canaan shares his home in Nashville with his lovely wife, Christy. She’s the inspiration for his sexy new single, “Like You That Way.”
