Hey, I’m Ally!
I am a singer-songwriter located in Oregon. I love to capture thoughts, stories, and feelings to trap the greater meaning of a moment into a song. I put what runs through my mind into music.
I love denim everything and big hoop earrings! I am an extrovert and the oldest sister. I value connection with friends and family. Other than music, I am passionate about art, fashion, dance, life, and many facets of creation. I am also found hanging out with my friends laughing till we collapse on the floor.
Why I Sing
Why I Sing
I sing for the joy and thrill it brings me. The feeling. It is like an instant mood enhancer. Songwriting is a way to express myself. It can be really releasing and gives a sense of belonging. I consider music another form of communication. Music brings my mind to ease and clears heavy emotions. It brings sound and emotion to a moment. Each song I have written hits differently. I love music for the connection between the mind, heart, and voice.
Music Journey
Music has always been a part of me and my household. There is usually music playing, it’s the background noise to my life. Ever since I was little I’ve been interested in music and songwriting. I have many memories of writing short songs with my friends and creating choreography for dances to go with them. I would put on performances in the living room for my family. Over time I’ve become much more intrigued by music and wanted to create and share it!
Around three years ago I started taking guitar lessons. I would write songs then but nothing with much depth. This last year I had a school project to work on something I am passionate about and then present it. I knew I wanted to learn to write my own music and then produce it. I was able to get a teacher who has taught me so many things about writing and producing music.
So here I am today. I want to keep releasing music and keep creating. This has been awesome to put my energy into something I love so much. So excited to see where it all takes me. It’s just the beginning.
