Biography
Hale grew up in Titusville, Florida for most her life. Hale's music story begins in High school during a time of deep depression. She started to abuse herself through cutting. Hale continued cutting through high school, and college. She sought help from a psychiatrist, and then read Psalm 147:3. Hale then went through a recovery process with her family and friends. Since her recovery, Hale writes music based around her struggle with depression, and the freedom she feels from God that helped set her free.[2]
