Today we’d like to introduce you to Sadie Monroe.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
The first toy I remember really loving was a cassette player with a microphone attached that my grandmother brought home once. I played my first piece of music on it and sang along for hours. When I got a little older, my grandmother asked if I wanted to audition for a children’s performing art school in my hometown, and I was up for it. I ended up getting in and enjoyed exploring many arts up until high school when I had to transfer to public. Music has always been a part of my life, even when I wasn’t looking at most of the men in the house I grew up in. It was contagious, I suppose!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I would say it hasn’t been smooth, but it hasn’t been rocky. I’d prefer to describe my journey pursuing music as a windy backroad. It has required a lot of focus and patience, as there’s only one lane. A few struggles I’ve faced I suppose could be likened to probably every independent musicians who doesn’t know anyone in LA and/or is just getting started actually taking things seriously. It takes a lot of investment, from studio time to equipment, if you want to learn how to do things yourself. Photoshoots and Visual concepts all require investments that indie artists often don’t have because they’re well – independent of any record label that would typically take care of those costs for their artists. Because I’m putting one foot in front of the other, things take a lot more time than what people might think but I’m grateful that I’m making progress!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I’m a country pop artist. I do have a bit of R&B in my sound as well. What can I say? I’m a 90s kid! I am so far known for what people are calling “emo cowgirl” songs, but I’m focusing on trying some different, more fun songs that are upbeat at the moment as well. I’m really proud of a song I just released that was incredibly therapeutic for me to write and although I wasn’t sure if it was a strong single to put out while I’m still building my fanbase because I wasn’t sure if many people would relate, it’s been really touching other people so I’m happy about that. I make my music for me rather than what I think people might like but I knew this one would be more for me than anyone else. It’s called Mood Ring if you wanna check it out!
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs, or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I learn SO MUCH from YouTube and TikTok lol. I don’t listen to podcasts as much anymore, but I feel like any time I want to learn how to do something or am curious about a product, I’ll go to one of those apps to search for other people’s experiences. I think it’s really cool how we can all lean on one another in that sense.
