"The first things I wrote were just awful," Eva confesses. "I’d sit there and try to write something and it turned out to be total crap." No fear, writers down on yourself - we’ve all been there! As a music major, Eva was able to try different instruments including mandolin, ukelele, and fiddle (it’s in Nashville, what other skills would a girl need?). Her performances are diverse, ranging from a fiddle tune to a jazz number to "something I guess might resemble rap."
To write a song, Eva lets an idea toss around in her head for awhile before really sitting down to write, making it easier for the music to follow. Her music and lyrics come out at the same time. “Everything has been with guitar, ukelele, or some other instrument in my hands.” She struggles with writer’s block as much as anyone else: “I just stop,” she says. “Forcing something to come out that’s inorganic and unnatural just ends up with a song in the dumpster. It’s not productive.”
What’s next? “I’m taking some big risks this year,” she says. Music videos, recordings, tours, and new music are all in the works for this songstress. “It’s extremely empowering to see what women can do on their own. It’s been incredibly inspiring,” she shared. “Music is more universal than anything, except for maybe love.”
