I connected with Liv Hatfield a few weeks ago. Liv was preparing for a volleyball tournament and finishing the week of school following her EP release party. Liv has a busy schedule as she juggles sports, music, and writing while enjoying her freshman year of high school. Yes, you read that correctly, high school. She began taking singing lessons at the age of 9 and added guitar about a year later. Liv has also been enjoying her time singing in the school choir, taking AP classes along with Spanish class, and aspiring and preparing herself to incorporate volleyball and music into college when that time arrives. Liv has learned there is a correlation between music and sports in terms of demand and discipline; you push your limits and experience the satisfaction of finishing at your best.

Liv’s first EP release definitely added to the excitement of her freshman year. Liv admitted at first that having her friends show up to school wearing her merchandise and seeing her face on their shirts was somewhat embarrassing and awkward, but now she is over it and enjoys seeing the support from her family and friends.

Sky's the Limit consists of six songs. Liv explained that she couldn’t settle for just the five tracks that were originally planned. She proposed adding an extra song, resulting in Illogically as the final track. Liv feels that this song perfectly completes the EP and that she has a strong connection to Illogically. Liv Hatfield collaborated with several songwriters to complete this project. Corey Lee Barker, Liv, and David Norris, who is also the producer of Sky's the Limit, co-wrote When I Fly. David Norris and Liv also collaborated on the song Familiar Stranger. The track Yet was written by Neill Skylar, Ronnie Grimes, and Liv Hatfield. The fourth song on the album Sky’s the Limit is Unbreak a Heart, co-written by William David Holladay and Liv Hatfield. Annie Vander, who has become a friend and mentor to Liv Hatfield, co-wrote Not for You alongside Liv and Brian Muelen. The final track, Illogically, was written by Liv Hatfield and Ericca Latza.

Whenever possible, Liv attends open mics; some of these have been with Annie Vander, giving Liv even more experience and exposure. Liv is attending CMA Fest with her family for the first time in a couple of weeks and preparing for 615 Live on June 5th during CMA Fest. In between volleyball travel and training, Liv says she will be writing more music this summer, and seeing where that lands. She's had a great start to a promising music career ahead.

Thank you, Liv, for chatting with me about your EP and summer plans. I hope you have a great time at CMA Fest, In A Country Minute.
