About Missy

Missy was born and raised in Breathitt Co, Jackson KY and began her singing career at the age of 9, singing the songs of George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty & Tammy Wynette. Missy was raised on Bluegrass music such as Ralph Stanley, Larry Sparks, Dave Evans and the Osborn Bros. Having spent most of her childhood with her grandmother, she enjoyed going to church where she sang and got a healthy introduction to Southern Gospel Hymns. She wrote a song titled "ONE MORE ANGEL" a gospel tune, after losing her grandmother, who she was inspired by so much, the song gets a lot of airplay, it is on the CD "WHAT WOULD IT TAKE".

In April of 2004 she released the single "I GAVE YOU MY HEART". Which she Co-wrote. This song is currently in rotation at several, KY, OHIO, FLORDIA, INDIANA and MICHIGAN radio stations. After almost a year it is still getting request and is a fan favorite. Her current 2 disc CD (WHAT WOULD IT TAKE & COVER THIS) is enjoying very good reviews from everyone who hears it. These reviews and responses from the public have led to several live studio interviews and guest appearances on several radio stations. The response gave her top billing at such events as: "The Breathitt County Relay For Life" in Jackson, KY 2004. Two shows at "The Breathitt County Honey Festival, also in Jackson, KY of 2004, on Labor Day weekend.

While recovering tonsil surgery in October of 2004, she was advised to cancel shows such as appearances at "The Wooly Worm Festival" in Beattyville, KY and opening acts for Conway Twitty's son and Grandson in Jackson, KY of 2004.
