Many country fans know that the best country music comes out of real-life stories, and that is what this great country musician is doing. With her musical talent and a gift of creating new and fresh music, Lovette is a winner in the hearts of country listeners around the world.

She was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Lovette and her two siblings grew in a very close and loving family. Her roots are deep engrained in tradition a faith, Lovette went to Catholic grade school and then an all-girls Catholic High School (the same one her grandmother, her mother, her cousins and her younger sister all attended). Although, music was another tradition that her family passed down to each child as well. Her mother was always playing music throughout the house she was little, and her grandmother was known to write music and also sing to Lovette. Lovette shares that her dad also has some country roots as well that swayed her to become a fan of country music, also her parents took her to her first concert (Tim McGraw) when she was only 5 years old. So, it was not long before her family’s love for music changed over and became Lovette’s love for music.

Lovette participated in every talent show from kindergarten on and remembers putting on little “concerts,” for her family and babysitters from a young age. She also shares that her parents have told her that as a toddler, she would sing in front of air vents and sing for many hours so she could hear herself through the vents.

Even though Lovette was devoted to her music, sports also played a big part in her upbringing. She started playing soccer, volleyball and softball, it was not until began playing basketball when she thought she had her future job planned. She remembers in 8th grade English class, she wrote that she was going to basketball all four years of high school and go onto to Mizzou to play in college and become a head women’s coach for Mizzou college. Her dreams of becoming a coach changed quickly during her 8th grade year. During a game she took a fall and after suffering weeks of pain and visiting different doctors, Lovette and her parents were told that she had a tumor inside her right femur bone. While Lovette was scared about not being able to play the sport that she loved so much, her parents were worried about her health. A biopsy was done when the doctors went in for surgery and relief was brought to the whole family when the results showed that tumor was non-threating, and the surgery to remove it was successful. It only took Lovette four months to recover from the surgery.

While she out due to her injury, music was all she had to pass the time each day. Her dad knew how to play guitar and so she would ask him to teach how to play the guitar. After a lot of practice and hurt fingers, she finally learned how to play a very slow verison of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” This tiny win lit a flame inside Lovette and her love for music was rekindled from that moment on. Although the rest of her recovery time, she practiced and learned new cords and songs, and soon began writing her own songs on the guitar. At this point, she discovered that even with her love for basketball, she now loved music more and wanted a career in it.

The summer before her freshman year of college at Murray State, Lovette started working on her first album. By the time it was Winter break, she returned home and played her first full band show at her own album release party. This moment was turning point she needed for her music career to become her main emphasis. Over three hundred people came out to support her and the venue made a record-breaking total that Thursday night which enhanced Lovette’s faith in her music skills. But, three weeks later she was back at Murray State and as her second semester went on, she remembers sitting in class and all she wanted to do was play music. She would write songs in notebooks and sit in her room and play and write in between all of her classes. She also started booking her own gigs at school that all shown to be a positive outcome. Then after seeing a video clip of one of her favorite musical group, Bon Jovi, she knew could not hold back her dreams. “The one thing that caught her attention in the video was that he said you cannot have a Plan B. Backup plans are for if something does not work out.” This quote added more passion for her love of music. She knew she had to take a break from school if she wanted to make a music career.

Over time, Lovette got the courage to tell her Mom and Dad, and just like when she decided to stop playing basketball, her parents were supportive of her and her dream to become a musician. Her parents had her come up with a business plan and a list of her goals to keep her path. Her dad had helped her make a spreadsheet of venues that they would reach out to play at.

With the support from her parents as a team behind her and the self-confidence to put all her into music, Lovette was ready to take the country music world for a spin. While her first album was a mix of songs she wrote through her high school days, she was ready to move forward with her own sound and an older approach to songwriting due to the predictable fact that is becoming adult and is experiencing new things in her life. In September 2019, she played a two hour long set at Duckfest, a day of live music and things hunting and outdoors in Saint Peters, Missouri. She also performs at many bars, wineries and intimate venues around her hometown, but one of her dreams is to one day headline her own tour.
