From athlete to artist. The artist who was once planning on playing professional volleyball after college, took a turn in her career path after friends heard her singing in the cafeteria. As a kid, Ward had dreamed of being a singer, but never pursued it. “I wasn’t in choir or taking lessons. Every once in a while I’d do the talent show, but then it was back to sports.”
With friends and family pushing her to pursue a music career, Ward became determined to make it happen. Featured in Jay Z’s episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, the David Letterman interview series on Netflix, Ward’s vocals lit up the room, which is why you need to witness her musical talent at ACL Fest.
Listen to her song “Mirror” below.
