We recently connected with Alyssa Coon and have shared our conversation below.
Alyssa , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about the things you feel your parents did right and how those things have impacted your career and life.
My parents have always been very supportive of me. Throughout my life they’ve done everything they could to help my music career flourish. It all started when they realized I had a strong interest in music and they put me in classical piano lessons at the age of six. Ever since then, they have continued to be the most supportive parents in the world.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I was always known as the “nice girl next door” in my everyday life but music has been an integral part in my life from an early age. I play classical piano, acoustic and electric guitar, ukulele, cajon and drums. I always try to draw people in with deep lyrics of my original songs about life experiences. I am heavily influenced by artists like Taylor Swift, Danielle Bradbury, Kelsea Ballerini and Dolly Parton. I have opened for David Nail as well as Tracy Lawrence along with Nashville recording artist, Walker Montgomery and performed at the same venue as Lady A, Darius Rucker, Russell Dickerson, Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi and Tenille Townes. I have also performed at Carnegie Hall, Ole Red Orlando, the Tin Roof Delray, The Commodore, Belcourt Taps and the Bluebird in Nashville and many more venues and festivals.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
The thing that mostly strives my journey is being able to share my music with many people who might be able to relate to anything I am going through. Music has always been my safe place and I love meeting and finding others through music who can relate to that.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is being able to meet new people by working with others in the music industry and also meeting people who have listened to my music and enjoy it. It is always rewarding knowing there are people out there with the same passions as me.
