Music Pays My Rent Celebrates Music Careers & Gives Back Through MusiCares

Katy DuBois grew up in Arkansas and spent her childhood on the football sidelines with her Dad, riding horses and barrel racing with her Mom, and dancing and performing in musicals at her community theater. She became interested in writing her own songs as a teenager and while in high school began traveling back and forth to Nashville to play writer’s rounds, attend meetings, and co-write.

Growing up in Arkansas. What drew you to co-writes in Nashville that connected you to form Maybe April in 2012?

I have always loved music and performing. I started doing dance when I was six and musical theater shortly after. As a teenager I became interested in songwriting and realized Nashville was the place to be. I lived about four hours away, but would make trips there often to co-write, play rounds, and network. I was hooked from my first trip. It is a magical place with a community of like-minded people all chasing a dream. I can be discouraging and overwhelming, but also incredibly inspiring. I was young when I started my journey, but I am so thankful for the people I met and the things I learned along the way!
