New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Rachael Sage Official Website) - Indie singer/songwriter/producer Rachael Sage has earned some of the best reviews of her career for her ninth CD 'Delancey Street' - From an in-person interview with America's largest newspaper, The Wall Street Journal, to a four-star CD review in All Music, from editorial coverage on iTunes, to a placement in the new national glossy M
Music & Musicians Magazine, Sage is being praised as having "molded and shaped a sound beyond a mere current-day singer/songwriter, and into a true soothsayer and storyteller that actually offers a glimpse into the future." In a series of interviews, below, Sage reflects on her recent shift in thinking...and of a gypsy looking to establish a home after a decade on the road. This new phase of her life has resulted in some of the "richest art of her career."
On 'Delancey Street,' Sage depicts one of NYC's notable downtown thoroughfares as a metaphor for heartbreak. Her album was released May 18th on MPress Records, and a U.S. has just been expanded to include Summer dates on the West Coast - see the full itinerary below.

New Roots and Old on Delancey
Rachael Sage has been living on the Lower East Side for about a month, moving over from Broadway and Eighth, but as the title of the singer-songwriter's new album suggests, for her it's a location already rich with meaning. On "Delancey Street" (Mpress Records), Ms. Sage's ninth album, she revisits memories of the neighborhood to explore the need for the comfort and sense of identity that community can provide. "When I was little, I used to come down to Delancey Street with my mom to shop," said Ms. Sage, who was raised in Port Chester, N.Y., and Stamford, Conn. "There was this sense that it was an experience. You were shopping from people who shared a culture. We'd go to the Second Avenue Deli, Katz's or Sammy's. I feel that's when I started to become who I am. It gave me a sense of my roots." Ms. Sage's ancestors emigrated from central Europe three or four generations ago, her father's family settling in New York, her mother's in Atlanta. Some of Ms. Sage's work is linked to her Jewish heritage. A former drama major at Stanford, she perks up her stage show by speaking in Yiddish or acting like characters Fran Drescher might perform. She's writing a play called "Stop Me If I'm Kvetching" for the New York International Fringe Festival in mid-August. Last December, she performed her show "Tchatchkes & Latkes!" at Joe's Pub. Tuesday, she will celebrate the release of "Delancey Street" with a performance at the same Manhattan club. Ms. Sage is assertive when delivering her folk-rock and pop songs, and her peer group, at least on disc, is more Shawn Colvin and Sarah McLaughlin than Tori Amos and Regina Spektor. Rarely does she over-emote, and the confessional nature of her songs is sheathed in suggestion, though several times on "Delancey Street" she alludes to a sense of alienation and the need to protect a tender heart. "I choose wisely the people who will help me grow," she offers in "There Is Passion." In "How I Got By," she sings, "You left me stranded on the platform, faded as an antique rose." "For artists, there can be a sense of isolation, and it's a struggle," she said. "It's intense and you're alone unless you reach out for the connectiveness. Just because you live in a hipster place that has an historic connotation doesn't mean you'll thrive. It's important to have a broad sense of identity." Ms. Sage said she long suppressed her need to join a supportive community. Playing music as a solo act at Stanford in the early 1990s, she felt like an outsider-though one gig resulted in an invitation to a barbecue at John Lee Hooker's house. Then she spent a summer at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. "In Ireland, I saw people busking on the street and making a living in clubs and bars," she said. They invited her to join them. "Before, I was always alone. Now I was part of a community. I went back to Stanford, but I had one foot out the door." She moved to Manhattan, living on Astor Place and playing the downtown clubs while studying acting at the Public Theater's Shakespeare Lab. For a while, she thought she could live in both worlds. Then folk star Ani DiFranco invited her to open for her on tour. "At the time, I was singing for, at most, 100 people," she said. "Now it was 2,000 to 6,000. It was petrifying. It was a great way to learn the ups and downs of the music business." Much like Ms. DiFranco, Ms. Sage developed a do-it-yourself ethos early on. She received a four-track cassette recorder for her bat mitzvah. "It took about a month for me to figure it out. I'd play with it until my parents would have to chase me to bed." Today, she runs Mpress Records-her business card reads "Artist/President"-and can arrange her compositions, produce her albums, design the cover art, get the discs into the hands of the right industry people and keep her fan base informed. She keeps herself informed by carrying a moleskin notebook with a long list of the things she wants to do when she's on the Lower East Side. "I recently waited for an hour at Russ & Daughters," she said, mentioning the smoked-fish emporium on Houston Street. "It was fantastic." -Mr. Fusilli is the Journal's rock and pop music critic https://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703961104575226642733884342.html?mod=WSJ_ArtsEnt_LifestyleArtEnt_4Noml?mod=WSJ_ArtsEnt_LifestyleArtEnt_4
ALL MUSIC gave Sage the highest-rated CD review of her career, a Four Star write-up by Michael G. Nastos
https://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0pfwxztsldde
Over eight previous recordings, Rachael Sage has established a distinct, all-subsuming persona since her very first album, appropriately titled Morbid Romantic. By now she can shed the comparisons to Ani DiFranco (who she toured with extensively,) as Sage has created her own sense of style (she did study acting and ballet), and a signature sound via her vibrato-laden, ironically dramatic, and at times haunting voice. Delancey Street tells tales of love and hope, abject passion, the vagaries of temptation whether alluring or gauche, and life in New York City that is easy to get all too wrapped up in. Sage hits the notes and the tone of city that never sleeps during songs like "Back to Earth," where she offers a cautionary tale about extending yourself while preparing to be reeled in to reality. Also a good pianist, Sage displays this talent during the title track in tandem with violin, thus upping the sentimental quotient, and speaks in hushed, secretive tones of love during "There Is Passion," "Big Star" has hit potential, as Sage relates to the trappings of celebrity in an upbeat way. Old enough to know better but still young at heart enough to follow brazen paths, Sage interprets Daryl Hall's "Rich Girl" and the song Irene Cara rode to stardom, "Fame," as if she's truly lived these songs. Using modern jazz heavyweights like bassists Todd Sickafoose or Will Lee, keyboardist and accordion player Rob Curto, and trumpeter Russ Johnson alongside drummer Quinn and cellist Dave Eggar, Rachael Sage has molded and shaped a sound beyond a mere current-day singer/songwriter, and into a true soothsayer and storyteller that actually offers a glimpse into the future. Her crystal ball on this recording is powered up, and invites one and all to gaze in to discover what can be.
ITUNES EDITORIAL REVIEW 5/10 Family roots, show business and the complications of love are the reoccurring themes on Rachael Sage's Delancey Street. The veteran indie singer/songwriter draws both upon her Jewish heritage and affinity for folk and cabaret motifs in offering this smart and often bittersweet set. Never a rock belter, Sage maintains a sultry, almost breathless delivery for most of the album, bringing a fresh intimacy to even familiar tunes like Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl" and the title song from Fame. Her own compositions combine a classy Off-Broadway feel with touches of Brill Building pop and hints of Eastern European balladry. Sage shares some sisterly advice in the frisky "Big Star," celebrates newfound optimism in "Arrow," and basks in conflicted nostalgia in the title track. Songs like "Brave Mistake," "Meet Me In Vegas" and "Back To Earth" show her sophisticated way with romantic material. Sage doesn't mind getting a little highbrow - "How I Got By" favors words like "ameliorate - but at the core of Delancey Street is a heartfelt quality that goes beyond intellectual exercise. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/delancey-street/id364760007?i=364760936&ign-mpt=uo%3D6
M MUSIC & MUSICIANS MAGAZINE INDIE SCENE - CD REVIEW - MAY 2010 By Lee Zimmerman
Rachael Sage's soft, sultry vocals and solitary piano-plied gravitas might imply she's a diva of the first order, especially given the fact that she includes sensuous covers of "Fame" and Hall and Oates' "Rich Girl" as part of her latest set. Fortunately, Sage proves she's more than a mere drama queen by injecting a tattered vulnerability and quiet resolve into originals like the aptly titled "There Is Passion," "Brave Mistake" and the title track. Yet while "Hope's Outpost" and "Big Star" bring comparison to Tori Amos and Fiona Apple in their sly elocution, Sage's emotional input seems more genuine and compelling, resonating far more by comparison. After fourteen years, Sage sets her own standards. Hopefully then, the excellent Delancey Street will provide her with a road to recognition.
WILDYSWORLD CD REVIEW Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5) By Wildy Haskell https://wildysworld.blogspot.com/2010/05/rachael-sage-delancey-street.html
SAGE NAMED 'ARTIST OF THE MONTH'
Rachael Sage has always been something of a renaissance woman. She was good enough of a dancer in junior high to gain entrance to the School Of American Ballet in junior high. Switching to acting, Sage studied at Stanford University and the Actors Studio MFA program. In spite of all of this, it's music that has always allowed Sage to shine brightest. Sage has built her career as an Indie artist, releasing all eight of her albums to date on her own MPress Records. Sage's ninth, Delancey Street, is due on May 4, 2010, may be her most personal work to date, and her best. Delancey Street opens with "Hope's Outpost", a quiet admonishment full of power and grace. The song is a thing of beauty written not so much from anger as from quiet disbelief about watching the one person you could count on walk away. "There Is Passion" marks the autumn of a relationship, when things just aren't as they once were even if love still survives. The song is full of longing for a return of the warmth of spring and mournful over where it has gone. On "Brave Mistake", Sage explores love as a dance, using strong imagery to portray not so much the pleasure and plain but the twists and turns that we all fall into. Sage sees the pattern as a way of working things out, allowing us to see when things work out right clearly ("He was at home in every line of her face. It was like ice breaking..."). "Everything Was Red" is a highly personal account of the difficulties of being the family black sheep and being a good sister; full of a hope for things to be as they should be, Sage acknowledges how difficult it is to put the past aside, even if the past is of her own creation. This highly honest and human perspective is raw and powerful, and beautiful in its angst. Any of you out there looking to try to make it in the music business should listen to Sage's "Big Star", a musical treatise on what it takes to make it, particularly for a female artist. It's a very perky take on the wondrous feeling of the pursuit of stardom that takes into account the darker sides of that pursuit. "Wasn't It You" finds Sage exploring the rich history of a relationship where all may not be perfect, but her lyrics are still steeped in immense love. Sage's cover of Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl" is both amusing and surprising; a gentle diversion in the midst of a rich emotional tapestry. Sage undertakes a bit of escapism in "Meet Me In Vegas", inviting another to come along. It's a scintillating moment of vulnerability. If you're looking for a prime example of Sage's lyrical brilliance, make sure to check out "How I Got By". Sage sparkles with lines like "I've seen the moon sigh for mercy, I've seen solitude break down like some old forgotten junkie I've been wandering this town" and "Sometimes it's hard to ameliorate imaginary sin when you're still stuck inside the distance between nothing and everything." "Back To Earth" is deeply introspective, a gorgeous song of regret over a relationship mistake that Sage wishes she could take back. On "Arrow" Sage takes a look around at her life only to realize that she is happy, and questions all of those who have told her over the years that she must suffer for her art. On "Delancey Street", Sage references a friendship past in a song full of an ill-defined emotion that isn't exactly regret but touches on its lonely shores. Sage closes things out with a cover of Irene Cara's "Fame" in an elegant cover that takes the exuberance of the original and fills it with a more mature emotion as seen from the other side of fame. Time and happiness may have softened the edges a bit on Rachael Sage, but it's inarguable that Sage is creating some of the richest art of her career right now. Delancey Street is musically complete and rich with personal emotion and insight. It's a brilliant album from an artist who has always danced around the edges brilliance and has now moved fully into its light. One can't predict where Delancey Street will stand in relation to Sage's future work twenty years from now, but for the time being it is a peak; like watching the arc of creation as it continues to rise. Delancey Street is a Wildy's World Certified Desert Island Disc. Don't miss it. Wildy's World is proud to present our May, 2010 Artist Of The Month: Rachael Sage. Sage has built a long and successful career as an Indie artist dating back to 1995, maintaing a strong DIY method while creating artistically dense and beautiful music over the years and releasing it on her own MPress Records.
ASBURY PARK PRESS Interview
Rachael Sage on the road to Asbury Park
By KELLY-JANE COTTER May 21, 2010 https://www.app.com/article/20100521/ENT/5210310/Rachael-Sage-on-the-road-to-Asbury-Park
Breaking up is hard to do, be it with a lover or, in this case, a neighborhood. Rachael Sage, a pianist and singer-songwriter, fell in love with Greenwich Village a long time ago. But at some point over the past decade, it started getting on her nerves. She tolerated the Starbucks, then the Barnes & Noble. But . . . "It was becoming generic," Sage said. "It was perpetual construction. And noise! When K- Mart opened and I had to hear trucks every morning, unloading furniture, I felt like I was living on the noisiest street in New York City, which I'm sure is how everybody here feels, except that I also felt like it wasn't even New York anymore. I was in the middle of this hub that could be anywhere." To complicate matters, Sage had been seeing other neighborhoods on the side. Nothing serious, she still loved New York, but she was on tour a lot, and, well, things happened. She began to see how attractive other places could be. Conventional wisdom has it that musicians feel isolated and lonely when they're on tour. It was the opposite for Sage. She found it comforting to be on the road. "There's always a rhythm when you go from place to place," Sage said. "There's a time to unload the equipment, there's sound check, there's a time to eat, then you see people who are interested to see you, and maybe you hang out a little bit, then there's the show. I liked being on tour and stopping in these communities." She'd return to New York and realize they had nothing to say to each other. "It had become a place where I threw my stuff," she said. So, arrivederci NYU and Washington Square Park. Hello, Lower East Side. She made the move last year. "It is amazing how different a neighborhood can be, only 10 or 15 blocks away," Sage said. "I can't tell you how many historic sites, old synagogues, the architecture I've seen. I'm so eager to explore everything." The neighborhood was new to Sage, but was home to her Jewish immigrant ancestors. Living there became like having something old, something new and something borrowed, all at the same time. Inspiration followed, as did Sage's ninth album, "Delancey Street," on her label, MPress. The album opens with a trumpet fanfare, heralding a collection of songs about leaving and finding and starting over. Sage works the same musical territory as Tori Amos and Kate Bush - intimate, enigmatic pop songs driven by piano and an expressive soprano voice. These are pretty songs about sometimes un-pretty things, little confessions and recollections delivered in atmospheric tones. In the center of the disc, she tucks a mellow version of "Rich Girl" by Hall & Oates. Sage heads toward the end of a spring CD release tour with an appearance May 21 at Georgie's Bar in Asbury Park.
BLURT CD review May 2010, by Lee Zimmerman https://blurt-online.com/reviews/view/2097/
BLURT Rachael Sage's M.O. since the beginning has been to meld soft, sultry vocals with solitary piano-plied gravitas, creating sparse settings that still provide ample underbelly for her heartfelt testimonials. This time around however, she attempts to inject a smattering of mass appeal, evidenced by the fact that she includes sensual covers of "Fame" and Hall and Oates' "Rich Girl" as part of her current repertoire. Although those choices may seem superfluous at first, Sage proves she can expand upon the subtext of the originals by retaining the tattered vulnerability and quiet resolve that established her branding early on. Individual entries like the aptly titled "There Is Passion," "Brave Mistake" and the title track establish that she's as burdened as before, even as tracks such as "Hope's Outpost" and "Big Star" find common ground with Tori Amos and Fiona Apple in their eloquent execution. Still, by comparison, Sage's affecting tomes seem more genuine and compelling, resonating with a greater resolve that effectively drives those sentiments home. Fourteen years on, Sage has come into her own as a singer/songwriter of the first order. If justice prevails, Delancey Street will provide her an avenue towards recognition. Standout Tracks: "There is Passion," "Brave Music," "Delancey Street"
PHILLYBURBS Interview Feature - Change helps New Yorker Sage stay creatively fresh By Naila Francis - The Intelligencer - 5/10 https://www.phillyburbs.com/news/news_details/article/177/2010/may/15/change-helps-new-yorker-sage-stay-creatively-fresh-1.html
It's one of the brightest moments, musically, on "Delancey Street," the latest CD from Rachael Sage. Injected with equal parts gleeful campiness and hard-earned wisdom, "Big Star" serves as a cautionary tale for those pursuing the path to fame. Sage, with her warm soprano sparkling atop the song's lush pop arrangement, encourages such seekers to embrace, and even relish in, that hunger - as long as they're aware of the price attached to stardom. The New York native actually penned the track early on in her career, when she was first trying to break into the city's music scene. But it seemed fitting to record it this time around from the perspective of having spent more than a decade on the road and released eight albums on her own label, MPress Records. "It's one of the things I wanted to address on this record - the idea that, sometimes, people - including myself - cling to this very essential notion of what success is and what our dream is as it was formulated when we were really little, when we were kids," says Sage, who performs Saturday at PSALM Salon in Philadelphia, as part of her national tour to support "Delancey Street," which, after a digital release on April 20, hits stores next Tuesday. "I think it's an incredible thing when you're really young to know what you want to do. In that broader sense, I knew I wanted to be an entertainer, I knew I wanted to be creative, but sometimes, the process - as you go about it - becomes automatic. That's the beginning of where you really lose touch with your purpose and your mission as an artist," she says. "I think one should always remember how fortunate one is to be in the arts and be expressive." Coming from such a reflective space is nothing new for Sage. The art-pop singer-songwriter and self-taught pianist is known for making intelligent, poetic, occasionally quirky music with an introspective bent. But "Delancey Street" in many ways marks a personal turning point and comes on the heels of significant change in her life. After 15 years in an East Village studio apartment, Sage relocated to the Lower East Side last year. "Change defines me in terms of my music and being willing to be in a new city every day and constantly expand and evolve with the team of people I work with and in the industry. There are a lot of situations where I'm really comfortable with change," she says, "but the area that has been the most resistant for me has been where I live and carving time and space to prioritize that part of my life versus going, going, going and living in the present and the future and in a way that's always centered around my career and productivity." In wanting to create a home that felt less like a pit-stop between gigs and projects and more like a peaceful environment in which she could relax when there, she decided to also sort through and get rid of much of the stuff she'd amassed over the years. "I was literally trying to purge in effect most of my belongings and my accumulated, in Yiddish, hazarai - just junk that you don't need," says Sage. "In a lot of ways, that theme resonated metaphorically for me, with different relationships and people just wanting to have less stuff in general as we become more environmentally sensitive and conscious." And so throughout "Delancey Street," in her own graceful and eloquent way, she similarly releases the relationships and false expectations, the mistakes and wounding perceptions that have been cluttering her emotional space. The disc, which includes 11 originals and two choice covers in Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl" and a sultry, mellowed rendition of "Fame," is also an exploration of identity - and of the things that affirm or re-affirm the person she wants to be. Moving to the Lower East Side, which also happens to be the location of the album's titular inspiration, has been part of that process, too. "I've always felt a bit of a hole not having known my grandparents or great-grandparents," says Sage, noting that her ancestors were wheat farmers in Poland and Russia. "Part of my desire to want to move to the Lower East Side stems from the sense of wanting to have closer proximity, physically and spiritually, to a place that still, within New York City, is one of the most condensed ethnic areas of terms of Judaism. "There's a lot more that's old there and I find a lot comfort in that." With the move to greater rootedness, she enjoyed the novel experience of writing "Delancey Street" without some kind of depression or upheaval serving as an inspirational fount. "It's not a unilaterally celebratory kind of a record by any means, but I think it's just that I didn't feel like I needed to have some tumultuous event happen in my life or in the life of others to be sparked to write," says Sage, who alludes to such a shift on "Arrow," a hauntingly beautiful track. "I always have a sense when I go into making a record of what type of head space I want to be in or grown into and what feeling I want to convey . but the theme I latch onto and ultimately want to edit the track listing to support, a lot of times, it does stem from what I feel is the most honest kind of arc in my own life," she says. "At some point, I will want to write a record about some inanimate object or a story I read in The New Yorker. I remain open to all potential sources of inspiration and structure, but in general, as a singer-songwriter, I try to think really hard during the making of an album about what I want to give people, and, for listeners who've been with me on the journey for a while, what it is that I feel is a truth about myself that I can share or a perspective or what I can give that challenges that audience." To challenge herself, the woman who graduated from Stanford University with a degree in drama and studied at the American School of Ballet plans to keep exploring the full range of her passions and talents, especially beyond what is comfortable. "I'm still young to be arriving at what defines me as an artist," she says, "but I hope that I'm someone who would always be interested in expanding and evolving and always remaining playful."
WASHINGTON JEWISH WEEK A Sage performance - Singer drawn by Judaism's spirituality, mysticism April 28, 2010 by Aaron Leibel, Arts Editor
Rachael Sage considers her bat mitzvah ceremony her "concert debut." "I was an avid student of all things Jewish growing up," says Sage, who will perform at the Birchmere on May 7 as the opening for Shawn Colvin. "I was the exception [to the rule of kids not liking to learn about Judaism], kind of nerdy. ... "I think that I was drawn by the spirituality and the mysticism of Judaism and its humanitarian aspects. I was constantly taught to ask questions. That's what appealed to me about being Jewish," Sage says in discussing the influence that her Jewish background has had on her career as a singer-songwriter. "If you are connected with the source, you are inspired in a way that is honest, and people connect with that. That's what I strive for when I perform," she continues. She describes her style as "poetic, piano-driven art pop," noting that people have compared her to a combination of Elton John and Kate Bush. But she emphasizes her love for improvisation. "I make up songs on the spot," she says. She will perform songs from her ninth album, Delancey Street - which was released digitally this month and will be available in its "brick-and-mortar" version in May. The song, "Delancey Street," is a romantic one, but Sage understands that street has historic connotations for Jews. "I think what often happens to a historic neighborhood over time sort of mirrors the fading of a romance," she says in a statement. "The qualities that once drew you to someone you love - their soulfulness, their intelligence - can gradually erode and it's not always easy to put your finger on exactly how or why." "Ninety-eight percent" of the songs on the CD are her compositions, as is the case with her other albums. Singing since she was 5, Sages says her initial career aspirations were somewhat different. "I always wanted to be an entertainer and songwriting was part of it," she says. "It was all about being creative." She was born in Port Chester, N.Y., and grew up in the New York City area in a Conservative Jewish home. Her parents were liberal, she says, and tried to instill in her a respect for ritual, but more for the sake of understanding "about people we came from than God." The singer-songwriter says becoming a bat mitzvah was "a big highlight for me." She studied at the School of American Ballet as a teen, and after getting a bachelor's in drama from Stanford University in 1994, she gave acting a try. But Sage was was having success performing in coffeehouses and other venues and gravitated toward singing. "I always liked to express myself by writing music," she says. "I came to realize that it was great to write my own music and perform it." In 1995, she established MPress Records "originally out of my bedroom" to produce her CDs. But the company is branching out, producing singer Seth Glier's CD, The Trouble With People, last year. And she is searching for other performers. For the past three years, Mpress Record also has put out a CD of independent entertainers, with proceeds going to different charities. (This year's beneficiary is The National Eating Disorders Association.) Sage recently has been named "One of the Top 100 Independent Artists of the Past 15 Years" by Performing Songwriter Magazine and received two OUTMusic awards for her previous album, Chandelier. In 2005, Sage's "Sacrifice" won the fourth annual Independent Music Award for Best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Song. https://washingtonjewishweek.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=12693&SectionID=27&SubSectionID=&S=1
More about Rachael Sage: The award-winning singer/pianist/performer mixes extraordinary musicality and an affinity for on-stage improvisation with a savvy business mind - she founded and runs MPress Records, she produces her albums, regularly tours over 150 dates per year, has built an impressive international following, and is an advocate for numerous causes. Keyboard Magazine featured Sage in a recent issue: https://www.keyboardmag.com/article/quick-tips-rachel/January-2010/105541
A musical gypsy, Sage has spent the better part of the last decade releasing albums and circling the globe in support of an impressive repertoire of original material. UNCUT Magazine has described her as "One part Elton John, one part Kate Bush." Mentored by such seminal artists as Eric Burdon, John Lee Hooker, Judy Collins and Colin Hay, Sage has steadily built a passionate fan base, prompting Performing Songwriter Magazine to name her "One of the Top 100 Independent Artists Of The Past 15 Years". The two-time Independent Music Award winner and multiple OutMusic Award recipient is a prolific artist who has nonetheless learned the hard way that constant creative output and productivity don't necessarily lead to fulfillment. "I'm really lucky to have a handful of amazing friends and a partner I've been with now for several years...but traveling so much, it's always an ongoing challenge to sustain relationships. Balance has definitely never been my forte", Sage admits. Sage, who has a degree in Drama from Stanford and has studied at The School of American Ballet, has been writing songs since she was barely able to reach the piano keys.
