In this heartfelt interview, we sit down with multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Holley McCreary to explore her inspiring musical journey. Raised in a musically rich household and deeply influenced by her parents' love for music, Holley honed her understanding of harmonies in church before blossoming into a powerful solo artist. She opens up about the pivotal moment when she chose to step away from the safety of a record label to pursue creative freedom as an independent artist—an act of courage that allowed her to release music that genuinely reflects her soul.

Her songwriting captures raw, relatable feelings, and this is especially evident in her moving track, "Throwaway Heart." As we unpack the story behind the song, Holley reveals how her personal experiences and emotional truths shape her music, resonating deeply with listeners.
