Raised in Houston after moving from California in grade school, she’s the oldest of five and grew up fast in a broken home.
By 14, she was gigging in bars and eventually put herself through college at the University of Houston, studying advertising and law—while picking up side hustles (including walking dogs) to help support her family.
After over a decade of writing, producing, and performing independently, a Tiny Desk performance with Tobe Nwigwe changed everything. A few DMs and one roommate-wingman later, she met her now-husband Jim. They got married and moved to Nashville to give music everything she had.
In just two years, she signed with Sony Music Publishing and Warner Music Nashville, sang with The Highwomen on a Lady Gaga track, opened for Chris Stapleton and Willie Nelson, made her Grand Ole Opry debut, and performed at the CMA and CMT Awards.
Then, everything shifted. Edwards lost her brother to suicide after his battle with schizophrenia. Months later, she was dropped by her label, management, and most of her team.
What followed was FRUIT—a record born from grief but rooted in hope. A revolution: her music doesn’t just transcend genre, it transcends generations. With FRUIT, she’s ignited a quiet movement of people healing through story, spirituality, and song. In 2025, she joins Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan on the Outlaw Tour.
