In 2021, she released her debut single “<a href="spotify:album:1s1CK1jugBvSuPLilTo6LS" data-name="leave me wild.">leave me wild.</a>” which landed on Spotify’s New Music Weekly and Fresh Finds Country playlists. She followed with standout tracks like “ Call Me,” whose music video premiered on CMT, and fan favorites “<a href="spotify:album:5vWKqXrCH9eCBXDDyBo6Ln" data-name="Name on my Phone">Name on my Phone</a>” and “<a href="spotify:album:5t8Z3uNq6xvKxIxjYHRXDH" data-name="Paper Boy">Paper Boy</a>.” Each release has shown new shades of Velasco’s artistry: playful yet grounded, pop-forward yet emotionally rich.

In late 2025, “<a href="spotify:album:18uOpvhgKqslzgczyV07Yn" data-name="Show Pony">Show Pony</a>” marked a turning point in Velasco’s career, taking control of her narrative & redefining how country-pop can look and sound. In a genre that often prizes polish, she leans into imperfection, with music rooted in raw honesty and authenticity.

Next up is “I Should Quit Drinking”, a heartbreak-driven track & Velasco’s most emotionally exposed to date. Written with & produced by Johnny Gates, who also appears on the song. Velasco’s smoky toned storytelling blends country, pop, rock & folk, & draws comparisons to Stevie Niks & Maren Morris. Taken from upcoming EP “Cowgirl Complex”, coming in 2026
