I could sit and listen to country music for hours! When you sit and let songs play through, you never know who you might come across! Alyssa Micaela caught my attention with her toe-tappin’ track ‘Getaway Car‘. It was catchy and real!

Best described as “Classy…sassy…and a little smart assy” Alyssa grew up in Odessa, Texas and her family works in the oil fields! As a girl, Alyssa loved spending time with her grandparents who spoke some Spanish and her great uncle who was a mariachi musician and their strong family relationship brought her to music! Her family took her to some CMA Music Festivals and her passion for Country was built there! She would pick up some ideas and inspiration just by watching some of the artists, but a friend connected her with successful songwriter Liz Rose and she began to learn from there!

Liz Rose has helped write so many hit country songs we know a love today! Grammy-winning ‘Girl Crush’ by Little Big Town and dipped her hand in Taylor Swift’s country career co-writing ‘Picture to Burn,’ ‘Teardrops on My Guitar’ Fearless’Tim McGraw’ the Grammy winning ‘White Horse’ and  ‘You Belong With Me‘.

Alyssa says Liz pretty much taught me how to write songs. I would talk to her about what was going on in my life. Shed help me put those words into a song“.

I took a listen to her EP Album Cowboys Like That, and ever song drags you in further and further! She stays humble, loves the process, and in her words “life is really easy if you’re nice to people. That’s the way I look at it, and that’s the way I was raised.

That’s why My Pick Of the Week is Alyssa Micaela with her New EP Cowboys Like That
