Alana Springsteen

Born and raised in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Alana Springsteen delighted audiences when she was a young child singing at her grandfathers’ churches — both of whom were pastors. She picked up a guitar at the age of 7 and she immediately took to it. Her uncle taught her how to play chords as well as some guitar technique. Two years later she wrote her first song and found magic in it, deciding soon after that she wanted to pursue a career in music.

Springsteen was invited to sing the national anthem at a Chicago Cubs MLB game when she was just 9 years old and again nine years later. She made the move to Music City and signed her first publishing deal at the age of 14.

She quickly gained attention, self-releasing numerous EPs and signing to major label Columbia Records NY/Sony Music Nashville on her 22nd birthday.

Influenced by singer/songwriters she loved listening to growing up, including Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, and Taylor Swift (she even wrote a song called “Taylor Did” that pays homage to the star), Springsteen tends to write slice-of-life lyrics that offer insights into her emotions and vulnerability, something that really resonates with her growing fanbase.
