Belles on Music Row

Today on The Music Row Podcast, I’m sitting down with an artist whose story is every bit as compelling as the songs she writes. Belles grew up in Nebraska, where small‑town roots shaped big‑time ambition. She graduated early, packed up, and made the move to Nashville — chasing the kind of career most people only talk about. In this episode, we dig into that journey: what it was like growing up in the Midwest, how graduating ahead of schedule pushed her into the next chapter faster than expected, and the leap of faith that brought her to Music City. We also get into the writing of “Son of Joleen” — the storytelling, the emotion, and the craft behind one of her most resonant songs. It’s an honest, funny, and inspiring conversation with an artist who’s carving out her own lane one song at a time.
