Born and raised in Gilbert, Arizona, Lacey Rashea (age 23) embodies the spirit of her hometown: vibrant, diverse, and full of heart. Growing up in a family teeming with creativity, Lacey's path towards music was practically preordained. From belting out tunes in her nana's karaoke haven to strumming her first guitar at 12, music became her language.
Lacey's influences span generations, drawing inspiration from country legends like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Waylon Jennings to rock icons like Led Zeppelin and Stevie Nicks. But it's the emotion and storytelling within a song that truly ignite her passion. She aspires to not only entertain but also touch lives with her music, leaving a lasting impact.
As a proud Arizonan, Lacey strives to craft a sound that's uniquely hers, representing her roots while resonating with audiences worldwide. Her music seamlessly blends country twang with bluesy grit and rock n' roll fire, reviving the spirit of outlaw country and bluegrass with a modern twist.
In 2022, Lacey took a bold step, trading in her bartending apron for a full-time music career. January 2023 saw the release of her debut single,"Dear Little Me," a deeply personal exploration of inner healing. Currently, she's collaborating with Nashville producers on new tracks slated for release in 2024.
Lacey's songwriting delves into the tapestry of life, exploring love, mental health, overcoming struggles, and embracing the beauty in the raw and real. Her dynamic voice, infused with soul and power, transports listeners to the heart of her music, rekindling the energy of classic Americana.
