I came to Nashville with three songs to record. I am going home with five.
Then again, I’m co-writing with two fellow songwriters tomorrow that I’ve never met. So, there may be six.
Do you know how weird it is for me to say “fellow songwriters”? I still feel like an imposter in this world, but they keep reassuring me that I am contributing.
I called my bestie tonight from my motel room to tell her how excited I was about how my week has gone.
As an aside, I told her how proud I was of myself for not buying any more of these ice-cream bars I discovered on my first day here.
Not an hour later, I was zipping off to the store…I see I really stuck to my guns on that one.
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
