Thursday, October 25, 2007 12:07 PM CDT
Leadwood native Buddy Iahn, 23, is currently touring as the drummer for country singer Felicia King, 19, whose debut video aired on CMT on Tuesday.
The video for “I Hate Me” is appearing on CMT’s “Music City Madness” contest which began Oct. 23 on CMT Loaded.
Iahn (pronounced Yon), a 2002 West County graduate, not only plays drums for the young singer, he also directed, filmed and edited the video. “We shot the video over the course of four days in Nashville,” Iahn said. “Then, I dumped the footage onto my computer and edited it. A week later, the video was in the hands of CMT.”
The video describes a high school girl losing her first love. The song was written by King while attending Middletown High School in Middletown, Ohio.
The video can be seen at http://www.madness.cmt.com/ Viewers will decide the winner out of the top 64 entries.
