On Episode 287 of the Raised Rowdy Podcast, hosts Nick Tressler and Kurt Ozan sit down with Danielle Bradbery to discuss her new single, “Poetic,” and the latest chapter of her career. Danielle shares how the heartfelt outside song came to her through fellow The Core artist Baylee Lynn and why they kept its production simple to let the story and vocal take center stage. She also takes the guys back to her remarkably detailed journey from being a painfully shy Texas teenager to auditioning for The Voice, earning three chair turns and winning Season 4 with Blake Shelton at only 16 years old. Danielle reflects on growing up in the public eye, learning to write alongside Caitlyn Smith and Ashley Gorley and finding her identity through country, pop, R&B and Spanish influences. She also opens up about becoming an independent artist after more than a decade with a label, learning the business side of her career, mentoring younger artists and navigating the constant pressure to create authentic social media content.
