Need a song to blast with the windows down? Listen to my first single, "Naturally"
Hey, I'm Ingrid.
I’m a 19-year-old USC music major trying to use all my teenage strife to my advantage by writing songs about it. My dream is to one day perform my original songs in front of an audience who knows all the words, alongside my dad who is my drummer! But for now, I’ll just stick to being a girl from the midwest who turns to my guitar with every problem that comes my way. After all, it’s all just songwriting material.
"JOHN CUSACK MOVIE"
Remember the "boombox" scene from the movie Say Anything? My second single is inspired by that romantic gesture, and is about wishing for the type of love you see in movies. Listen to "John Cusack Movie":
Busking (noun): performing music on the street for tips
My dad and I spend the summer of 2021 "busking" everywhere from my hometown farmer's market each Saturday to outside a coffee shop in Jackson Hole.
When we busk, my dad plays cajon and I play guitar and sing. We have a song list of covers through which we rotate, and we tried to add a couple fresh songs every week!
It quickly became our favorite part of the summer—it was so rewarding to see people walking by singing along or dancing to our music. We also got to meet so many people as they would come up and chat with us in between songs. One man told me that he would dance with his wife if we played "Brown Eyed Girl"—my dad and I immediately jumped into the song, and the man delivered!
