Amanda Cooksey grew up in Orlando, Florida. Yes, I went to Disney a lot as a kid. If you were wondering, yes, I STILL have an annual pass to Islands Of Adventure and Universal even though I live in Nashville now. My brother and I go almost every time I am home, and we can quote most of the dialogue on the rides. I am inspired by all types of music! I listen to 50’s music all the way up through what’s on the radio today. However, I draw most of my inspiration from artists like Walker Hayes, Colbie Caillat, Julia Michaels, Ariana Grande, Khalid, and Kacey Musgraves. Visit: https://amandacooksey.com/
