Biography

In life, art, and love, Erin Gibney is learning who she is and what she wants, and that she won’t settle for anything less. Recent experiences — her first big breakup, forging deeper connections with her fans through social media, watching artists she admires release exceptionally personal albums — have left her emboldened to share her truths as she creates new music and “unapologetically continues to explore within her sound” (Today’s Country). With her new songs, produced by Paul Ebersold (Morgan Wade), Gibney worked through “genuine heartbreak and the pain, the anger, the hurt that goes along with that” after the end of a five-year relationship. “It’s really the first time in my adult life that I’ve dealt with that,” she explains, noting that while her country-pop sound and “warm hug” (Amplify Music Magazine) of a voice remain, Ebersold helped her add a new edge that complements the topic. “It’s honestly a little bit scary because I don’t think I’ve ever been this honest in my music before. I don’t think that I’ve ever said words like this out loud,” Gibney admits of sharing her new music, “and so [role models Kelsea Ballerini and Taylor Swift] are such pinnacles for me. They give women like me that courage to be like, ‘Okay, I am going to be as honest as possible, and it is going to be scary but it’s a reflection of my life experience.’
