TALENT / Talie Day

— A Young Musician to Watch

We’re so proud to announce that the beautiful and talented Talie Day will be joining La Belle’s NYFW show!

A passionate young musician, songwriter, and performer, Talie has already begun building an exciting path of her own through original music and live performances. In our conversation, she opens up about where she finds inspiration, the experiences that have shaped her as an artist, the importance of building connections in the music community, and her dreams for the future.

Get to know Talie Day and discover the passion, creativity, and authenticity behind her music.

1. When did you first realize that music was more than just a hobby? Was there a moment that made you think, “This is what I want to do”?

I don’t think there was ever a definitive moment where I realized music was more than a hobby because it has always, in a way, been a part of who I am at nature. Music has always drawn me in and I have always sung to express my feelings when I am called to it.

2. You’ve already released your own original songs while still in high school. What inspires your songwriting, and what do you hope listeners take away from your music?

Just about anything and everything has the potential to inspire me, truly. I get these random bouts of intense energy and focus. A random circumstance or object will momentarily cause me to see things from a deeper perspective—something I can branch off of and explore. A lot of times, my songs begin as poems; it’s easier for me to lay out the main theme before further writing!

3. You’ve performed on many stages. Is there one performance you’ll never forget, and what made it so special?

My section at Stage AE for the Women Who Rock Benefit concert was probably the most groundbreaking performance I’ve done yet. It just felt so real. I was on stage in a way I had never been before. Not to mention, Jessica Simpson singing on the exact same stage shortly after… for the same event… I felt legit.

4. You’ve built up impressive performance experience at such a young age. How do you find performance opportunities, and what advice would you give to other young musicians who want to start performing live?

I have a lot of reliance on the connections I have formed as a performer. It’s always good to get to know the individuals who first give you opportunity. Treating music as a community allows you to meet other performers and bookers naturally. That starts with a music teacher, a producer, a bar owner—you name it. Form connections! It can only benefit you.

5. Balancing school, songwriting, rehearsals, and performances can’t be easy. How do you manage it all while enjoying your final year of high school?

I have definitely had my fair share of difficulty managing everything. Obviously, in life, certain things have priority and importance above others, but the weight feels less heavy once I understand that I still have time. I need to pace myself and not rush. Engaging and building a little of everything eventually leads to a stable foundation.

6. You’re planning to study music in Nashville. What drew you to Nashville, and what are you most excited to learn there?

While I still don’t fully know if I want to study in Nashville, it has a grand and glaring atmosphere filled with opportunity. The city itself is packed with music and entertainment… I think that speaks for itself. Time will tell!

7. Where do you see yourself in the next five years? What are your biggest goals as an artist?

I hope to be touring or performing in some capacity in the next five years. I have always felt at home on the stage and would love to further share my passion and art with the world.

8. When people listen to your music, what emotions or message do you hope they’ll take away from it?

I always enjoy it when people interpret my music in different ways. I think with the way I write, there’s overlying literal and underlying figurative meanings that can vary from person fo person. I hope people find resonance and clarity within my music. I want people to know they are understood and heard, even if things feel overwhelmingly empty.

9. What advice would you give to other young people who dream of writing, performing, and sharing their own music with the world?

To the other young artists out there, expand beyond yourselves. You definitely need to network in this community, so make connections with people with similar interests. Reach out to other musicians, try getting together and writing or sharing your own work. Understand different perspectives in the world and always be open minded, prepared for criticism… but also understand you are allowed to have boundaries. Know who you are as an artist and as an individual and become as authentic as you possibly can be.
