Karley Scott Collins

When Karley Scott Collins moved to Nashville from her hometown of Lake City, Florida, she arrived armed with her words – turns of phrase she’d fallen in love with, stories told to her by friends and family, and lyrics she’d jotted down in notebooks since she was 12. Some of her words blossomed from the music her dad would play on the drive to school — metal bands like Guns N’ Roses and Alice in Chains. Others came from works of literature (Cormac McCarthy) and timeless artists (Bob Dylan, her biggest inspiration).
