Cora developed a love for singing and writing songs at the age of four. When she wasn't busy singing and writing cowboy poetry, she was pushing cows horseback with her dad, or participating in youth horse shows and rodeos. Cora draws on all of her experiences and influences to write music that is raw, relatable, and tells a story. She graduated from Sheridan College in Sheridan Wyoming in the spring of 2022 with an Associates of Fine Arts (Music) and both Music Technology and Arts Administration Certificates. Cora continues to lean into worship leadership, special-and-yet-everyday encounters with God, and how to bridge the worlds of ministry and music.
