Surrounded by a musical family, she began singing and performing when she was very young. Hope first got turned onto the idea of writing her own music when she received a guitar at age 17. She attended Carson-Newman College and went on to receive a Bachelors degree in classical voice. It was there that her true flair for songwriting developed. Hope’s drive to perform her original works was launched after winning a songwriters contest in college in 2007. She eventually moved to Asheville, North Carolina where she began introducing her angelic vocals and folky lyrics into the music scene.

Since her time in Asheville, Hope has entered and won several singer/songwriter contests, including 2nd place of hundreds to open for Dave Barnes. In 2012, she was in the Herald-Journal and her song “Hanging In The Balance” made radio play. Her “in your-face” style of ballad writing, as well as her reputation for playing songs that span through the decades has made her popular amongst a wide range of age groups.

Hope continues to wow audiences with her broad vocal range, catchy lyrics, and stunning vocals. Though she has written numerous tunes before and since, “Dry Land” is a song that best represents her unique style of ballad writing. Hope is currently in the process of mixing and mastering a brand new EP, which will feature this song as well as some new and fresh “fan favorites” for which she is well known. Look for it in early 2015.
