John Mayer
While John Mayer was working on his "Born and Raised" album, he lived in a house in the middle of rural Montana. While he does spend time in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, writing in the wilderness was exactly what he needed to get into that indie headspace. He also cites wildlife, open space, and farms as his reasons for moving to Montana.
Wiz Khalifa
After signing an enormous record deal, fans expected Wiz to buy a McMansion in one of music's most happening cities. Instead, he bought a 4,000 square foot home in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, just 18 miles from Pittsburgh. He leads a relatively private life outside of the Hollywood spotlight.
