Sometimes in life, you have to find out what you don’t want to do, before you figure out what you do wanna do. And that’s definitely part Nicolle Galyon's story.

Originally planning for a career in artist management, Galyon moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University. But, she took an interest in the artist/creative side after attending a few songwriter open mic nights, which led to an eventual appearance on NBC’s The Voice in 2012, where she was selected for Adam Levine's team. And during that stint, she says she realized that she didn’t really like being onstage. A lover of writing from early on, The Voice helped her realize that her creative focus should locked in totally and completely on songwriting. It also introduced her to an artist named Miranda Lambert, with whom she would form a friendship and working relationship with. From there, Nicolle Galyon knew what she wanted to do.
