Singer, songwriter, guitar player who splits her time between the Florida panhandle and up in Nashville. She released four singles in the first six months of this year and is about to drop one more song in conjunction with the release of a new album. Four years ago, after a four-month-long competition that featured more than 800 artists from around the country she was named the 2018 Nash Next champion, which earned her a record deal with Big Machine Label Group, home to the likes of Taylor Swift and Florida Georgia Line, among others. The video for a single she released in 2020 reached Number 1 on The Country Network’s Top 20 Countdown, and recently she paired with Country Road TV to create her own show, called “Camp The Country.”
“Songwriting is definitely a coping mechanism and, maybe even more than that, like, a way to process your thoughts and emotions.”
“It is almost impossible to make any money from music these days. Streaming is just, I mean, it’s negligible income unless you have really, really massive numbers.”
“Don’t be afraid to take it slow because you’ll be so happy with the product. And if the songs are good enough… they’re gonna stand the test of time, even if it takes five years before they make it out in the world.”
“I didn’t come from a musical family. Everyone in my family is physicians, and I’m like the black sheep… But I always had a heart for music.”
“I graduated college with a music degree, and nobody cared. And I had to figure out what I was going to do with my life.”
“I got a job with Carnival Cruise Line. It was the perfect transition because I performed six nights a week. I sang all different kinds of music. I mean, I learned so much on those stages.”
“It was so cool. I would have never, ever, ever imagined my life taking that turn.”
“Labels are looking for specific things, but they’re also looking for uniqueness and individuality. And honestly, if I’m going to work with anyone at this point, they have to be excited about what I’m already doing because it takes way too much effort to try and be anything else.”
“They wanted me to record a song from one of their writers. They didn’t want me to record one of my own songs, which really hurt as a songwriter.”
“That’s what you want as a songwriter. It’s not about you. It’s not about me. It’s about whoever’s listening and what it means to them.”
“I think our biggest show was when we got to open for Hunter Hayes. There was, like, 15 thousand people there.”
