Ink has been the music industry’s secret weapon for more than a minute now. She co-penned the Cowboy Carter tracks “16 CARRIAGES,” “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” and “AMERIICAN REQUIEM,” as well as the contender for biggest song of the year – Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s “luther,” which is currently in its 9th week at the top of the chart. Ink is set to apply her southern roots and storytelling approach to songwriting with her ability to write songs that appeal to the masses to her new music under Big Loud Records and Electric Feel Records. The Hollywood Reporter describes Ink’s approach as “a mix of coastal and Nashville representation that may go beyond the mainstream country business.” An effort that seeks to continue pushing the genre forward and broader.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany and raised in Atlanta, Ink began her artist journey as a street performer in and around ATL. Deeply musical with a genre-less affinity for great songs, she counts influences ranging from R&B songwriters like Babyface and Tony Henry and the Southern rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival to the confessional songwriting of Lauryn Hill and the godmother of rock’n’roll herself, Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
