She continues in this path of positive power.<\/p>\n<p>There have always been those whose hearts dance to the beat of a different drum, those who see the world in a different way, and those who find our differences far more beautiful and intriguing than our similarities. NEDY is one of those people. But what sets her apart from the crowd is the fact that she is now gathering all of her differences and infusing them into the creation of music specifically meant for a new generation of outcasts. Armed with an enchanting spirit, a strong faith and an impressive musical talent, NEDY is an inspirational pop artist poised to lead her loyal fandom into a brighter future.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>NEDY\u2019s new single \u201cFuel\u201d evokes fun, pop summer vibes while her songwriting flows from the heart in a path of positive power.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The youngest of three children, NEDY was born in Salt Lake City into a lower middle-class family who eventually planted their roots in Texas\u2014a sweet girl with discount store shoes on her feet and music playing on repeat inside her head. Inspired by her uncle who worked as a professional Latin singer, NEDY would spend hours trying to impersonate her uncle\u2019s moves and stage presence\u2014developing a strong desire to learn how to play the guitar, if only she had one.<\/p>\n<p>Within a crowded swap meet, NEDY\u2019s mother picked up an old guitar. She now constantly heard rhythms in her head. \u201cMy sixth-grade teacher would always call me out to remind me that this wasn\u2019t drum class,\u201d NEDY chuckles. \u201cBut I just couldn\u2019t help it.\u201d Soon, her Mom used child support money from the divorce and bought her a piano from a local thrift store.<\/p>\n<p>At 22, NEDY began writing her own songs. And soon, she came to realize that she had a purpose that would ultimately drive her to make music with a message\u2014that would point to something bigger than herself, encourage and inspire people\u2014that she needed to hear as much as anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Now living just outside the city limits of Nashville, NEDY is releasing new music that she believes will serve as the cornerstone to a new chapter in her career. Existing as the sturdy foundation to that cornerstone was her recent single \u201cMade to Be,\u201d a proclamation of sorts that finally declares all she is. From her artistic soul to her ongoing resolutions to never again try to mold into someone else\u2019s expectations, this is the music that NEDY has waited a lifetime to create.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople who are different are the ones that make the difference,\u201d she says proudly. \u201cI want to take my differences and I want to make an impact by using them for good.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nedy-b-FUEL-cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20904\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nedy-b-FUEL-cover.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nedy-b-FUEL-cover.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nedy-b-FUEL-cover-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Nedy-b-FUEL-cover-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>NEDY\u2019s new single \u201cFuel\u201d evokes fun, pop summer vibes while her songwriting flows from the heart in a path of positive power.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>NEDY <\/strong>Interview<br \/>\nwith\u00a0<em>M Music &amp; Musicians<\/em>\u00a0magazine publisher, Merlin David<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is one main thing you learned about yourself after recording \u201cFuel\u201d?<br \/>\n<\/strong>No matter how much time passes, there are still always going to be haters in your life\u2014but it\u2019s up to you what you do with that hate. After writing and recording \u201cFuel,\u201d I felt that I had turned something that was very negative and hurtful for me\u2014into something positive to help fuel me and others: Fuel to achieve my dreams\u2014fuel to encourage others to pursue theirs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did this song idea come to you?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It was more a series of incidents\u2014a handful of different experiences with different people who were my critics and naysayers. People that I know who even though I would consider them my \u201cfriends\u201d are actually low-key haters. In my experience, there seems to be more of those\u2014the more successful you become or the more you follow your dreams.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who originally inspired you to write songs?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Songwriting came from a natural desire to express myself through poetry. Those poems turned into songs, after I took voice lessons and learned how to sing. That when I said, \u201cOk, here\u2019s how I feel. Let me try to sing how I feel and see what happens from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/NEDY-c-Made-To-Be.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20905\" src=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/NEDY-c-Made-To-Be.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/NEDY-c-Made-To-Be.jpg 660w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/NEDY-c-Made-To-Be-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mmusicmag.com\/m\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/NEDY-c-Made-To-Be-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What songwriting tip would you offer?<br \/>\n<\/strong>For anyone thinking about songwriting or already pursuing it, speak from a sincere place. Those kinds of songs usually make the most impact. People can see through something that\u2019s not authentic.
