Our Artist of the week this week is Callista Clark
Every song has a story and at just 17 years old Callista Clark has a lot to say. Like Maren Morris, Jennifer Nettles, Tori Kelly, Ingrid Andressand so many talented singer/songwritersthat paved the waybefore her, the young songstress wields her creative gifts as both a defense and an instrument of peace as she puts her heart on display with her forthcoming debut collection Real To Mevia Big Machine Records. Blendingher love for authentic, timeless classicswith the sounds of her Country rootswhich sproutedfromherhometown ofZebulon,Georgia, Clark “puts a fresh spin on soul phrasing” (Billboard). Gearing up to release her debut music, she’s worked with many of Nashville’s leading songwriters including Jonathan Singleton, Laura Veltz, Nicolle Galyon, and Emily Shackleton, among others. The proof that Clark could hold her own among Nashville’s most prominent is evident in the feisty anthem of “Change My Mind,” the poignant and relatable truths of “Real to Me” and the declaration of confidence in “It’s Cause I Am.” It’s her ability to be both assertive yet vulnerable, and empowering while brutally honest that make Real to Mesuch an auspicious introduction. Her inspiring videos with which Scooter Braun (SB Projects) and Scott Borchetta (Big Machine Label Group) took notice, have amassed over 65 million views on Facebook and over 6millionviews on YouTube.Follow along with Callista’s journey on Facebook, Instagram,TikTokand Twitter.
