Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Vaughan’s love for music began at a young age, singing in church and choir. As early as high school, she began writing songs of her own and performing as the frontman of an independent alternative rock band, giving her the opportunity to experience collaboration and self-managed tours.
After six years of performing and evolving as a creative, Lydia moved to Nashville in 2015 to pursue her dream, a songwriting career. Five years later, she signed her first publishing deal with Cornman Music & Warner Chappell in August 2020. Lydia loves and writes both country and pop genres.
She has had sync placements on shows like MTV’s Teen Mom, CW’s Batwoman, and Netflix’s Dash & Lily.

She also co-wrote Larry Fleet’s “Never Wanna Meet Another Woman,” MacKenzie Porter's "Pickup," and two other songs on Aldean's newest album, "Over You Again" and "This Bar Don't Work Anymore."

Singer-songwriter Kip Moore explored his own experiences of growing up in a small Georgia town and working diligently for years to achieve his musical dreams to create his MCA Nashville debut album, Up All Night. The album poetically captures those unforgettable coming-of-age moments, especially for those longing for a life beyond a small town's borders, as well as the roller coaster of love and heartbreak at any age. He delivers these honest and deeply personal lyrics with a gravelly voice weathered by life's detours and disappointments and strengthened by his dreams and unyielding determination. Up All Night, which includes the hit "Somethin' 'Bout a Truck," is infused with relentless intensity, both of passion and frustration, that is earning rave reviews from critics. His energetic live shows, including a spring tour with Billy Currington and David Nail, are quickly drawing a large and enthusiastic fan base."For years, I have been searching for the missing link between blue-collar rock and country music," says noted journalist/historian Robert K. Oermann, who writes for Music Row magazine. "This year, I think I have heard it. His name is Kip Moore. There is fiery, urgent intensity in his voice. His lyrics vibrate with conviction and true grit. The melodies have gripping, heart-in-throat passion."
Hailing from a rural Louisiana village called Oak Ridge (population 124), singer/songwriter Graham Barham infuses his music with so many unforgettable images specific to small southern towns: honky-tonks and magnolia trees, pickup trucks and one-lane roads, to name just a few. At age 18, Barham moved to Nashville and soon started writing for other artists, steadily honing the potent balance of humanity, honesty, and self-aware humor that now defines his lyrics.
His debut EP, “North of Hell” was released in July of 2023, and it has already taken the country music genre by storm. Barham remains intent on making music that tells the most soul-baring truths. “I’m generally a really happy guy, so writing songs is a way of releasing any negative energy and expressing myself with a level of honesty that can be tough when you’re talking to people,” he says. “A lot of my songs are about the man I’m trying to become, but I also want to be truthful about the man I am presently.”
