country pop singer/songwriter Alyssa Marie Coon Talks With TMI About Her New Single

Hey Alyssa! So excited to be chatting with you! You are gearing up for the release of your new single! How excited are you to get this song out into the world?!?

I’m really excited to release my next new single “Oblivious” the end of October, beginning of November.

What do you hope your supporters will think of the new song?

I hope and believe that everyone loves the new song. It’s relatable. It’s a current pop country song. 

Can you tell us the backstory of this song? Is it from a real experience?

I cowrote this song and we wanted to write about something relatable to both men and women even though this song is about a girl telling a boy he’s oblivious and can’t see she’s into him.  It’s what I see my friends going through. I’ve even had boys who were into me and I didn’t even realize it until it was too late.

Will there be a music video for your new single?

A music video will be done approximately a month or two after the song is released. 

You also have more music coming out in 2019!! Can you spill any details on what your supporters can look forward to?!?

I’m currently finishing up writing a holiday song. I hope to release the holiday by the end of November.

I will be releasing new songs every three to four months.

Do you have a creative say in your music? Did you help write all your new songs? 

Yes, I have a creative say in my music. I either write myself or cowrite with others. I always have my hand in my music.

What’s it feel like to be releasing your own original music?

It’s an awesome feeling and a nice accomplishment. I love seeing and hearing the final product.

Is there anyone you want to thank that’s helped you get to where you are today?

I want to thank my parents and my grandmother for their support. They believe in me and my music.

I want to thank my piano teacher, Steve Behrens, for teaching me music theory. Because I learned classical piano first, I have been able to pick up playing multiple instruments.  I want to thank my vocal coaches for working with me through my allergies and vocal changes I have been going through.  I want to thank my friends and mentors, Maggie Baugh and Keith Ridenour for working with me on song writing, guitar skills and much more. I’m very grateful for my ASCAP representative for guiding me and encouraging me to write with others.  I am thankful for my friend Joe Ortiz. He not only built my website but he has been the most encouraging and supportive friend we have. He is an amazing person and a giving person as well. I’m thankful for everyone who is on this journey with me.
