Name: Ally Rhodes
Age: [Mystery!]
From: Omaha, Nebraska/Nashville, Tennessee, US
What she does: Singer/Songwriter/Musician
Every once in a while an artist comes along that plays the strings that resonate directly with the heart. Ally is just that artist to me lately. With a beautiful voice, fair balance of originals and covers and subtle sense of humour, she captivates emotions and feelings I didn't know existed at that moment.
Ally's voice is soft, genuine and expressive in a most heartfelt fashion. She transmits the essence of the emotion behind the song like it's nobody's business, probably due to her genuine spirit and honest-to-goodness connection to her art. It shows that music is her niche and that she's got a whole lot of heart.
It's important for an artist to find their unique style in order to stand out amongst the crowd, otherwise you just lose sense of originality and once your 15 minutes of fame are up it's hard to get back in the game. Ally has a strong sense of creativity, and her quirky, down-to earth personality shines through her music as well as in her general presence. She isn't trying to be anyone but herself, and to succeed in the industry while keeping true to yourself can't be easy, but somehow I don't think anything will bring this girl down and make her a manufactured product of a material industry.
Ally's connection to music is apparent in her videos. She's dedicated and sings like nobody is watching and like there is nobody judging, and that's how it should be. I absolutely love when artists are capable of being so independent of opinions and avoid molding themselves to fit the social standards. It shows real musicianship, artistry but most importantly it shows that she is true to herself and is well worth a listen to, at the very least.
