She’s the girl next door, but with a little more grit. 

Hailing from Marietta, GA, Janie Waddell was introduced to the art of crafting stories through writing lyrics at an early age. After spending summers in Nashville, Waddell only waited two weeks after graduating college to relocate to the city. In the five years since her move, the country-pop singer songwriter has played respected stages from The Listening Room to The Bluebird Cafe, earned an Honorable Mention in the 2023 NSAI Song Contest, secured cuts with several budding artists, and garnered thousands of streams on her own singles.
