I'm not into the whole third-person bio thing. I'm a songwriter, so it kind of only makes sense to write my own bio in first-person.
Well, to start, I love writing songs (obviously). I've never been much of a rebel and the only rebellious side of me is when I move from the back row of a concert to the front without security noticing. Oh, the the other rebellious side of me is one that some people have yet to get used to. And that's writing songs about people...with their birthday in it or their name or other really obvious clues to embarrass them.
Something ya'll should know about me is that I'm one of the most sarcastic people you can meet. I love making people laugh, but some people don't get my sarcastic sense of humor. That tends to sometimes get me into trouble. But anyways, I play guitar and a little bit of piano.
My dad has been playing guitar his whole life and after begging me to stop being lazy and learn how to play as well, I finally decided to teach myself. Well, I got really into it and quit every sport I was involved in to pursue this whole music thing.
You may be wondering now she plays sports? Well, the answer is yes. I used to figure skate but I gave that up to to music theater, which I gave up as well to do this whole country/pop singer/songwriter thing. I never thought that I would stick to the guitar and singing, but here I am, still pursing this dream after 4 years of playing guitar. I guess you can say that I've found my true love.
I hated high school because my peers never accepted me being that I don't party, smoke, drink, or care about fitting in. I turned to music to escape all that bullying and teenage girl nonsense. It didn't hit me until I started posting my songs online that people actually could relate to my songs. It's a pretty cool feeling when someone says your song made me cry. I love how people can relate to my stories that I put to melodies.
If I'm able to change just one life because of my music, then my goal in life is complete. You see, I don't just do music because I love it, but I do it because I love how it makes other people feel. I love letting people know that they aren't alone and that others feel the same way. Taylor Swift and Shania Twain taught me that and now I want to to the same. Yes, Shania Twain is my hero. I just had to throw that in this bio. I have an amazing group of friends/fans/family who support this dream of mine and I thank the lord above me every single day for that.
I believe in fate and I believe that everything happens for a reason. I like taking things day by day and this is random, but I want a pet pig named Clementine. My lucky number is 917 or just plain ole' 17 and I love creeks/fireflies.
After writing so many songs, you'd think that I've had a million boyfriends(hyperbole), but truth is, I've never had a real boyfriend!
I write songs about situations my friends have been in and I write songs about crushes. I've liked the same guy since I was 16 years old (now I'm almost 20) and I've written the majority of my love/heartbreak songs about him (haha).
My songs are sometimes sad, but truth is that I sometimes have not a serious bone in my body. I laugh A LOT and you probably wouldn't guess that from listening to my songs ;)
Well, I want to thank you all for reading this obnoxiously LONG bio, but it does make sense to write a long one since I do love writing songs! Shoot me an email and let me know what you think of my music, I write EVERYONE back!
