Betty Reed

Betty Reed is a graduate of Berklee College of Music with a BA in vocal performance. Her expressive vocals and clever lyrics resonate in every song. Drawing on life experiences, Betty Reed relates stories of everyday life through her music. Struggles. Triumphs. Journeys. After moving to Nashville, TN from Boston, MA, Reed released four country-pop singles. In the winter of 20/21, Reed released three electro-pop singles. Throughout the summer of 2021, Reed will release three singles off her upcoming six-song EP, “Mistakes Made, Lessons Learned,” which will drop on 9/3/21. For “Mistakes Made, Lessons Learned,” Reed collaborated with Nashville producer, Bill McDermott. Reed wanted to create an EP of songs that encompass various genres of music, and McDermott’s ability to bring his depth of music knowledge to the project was the perfect fit. Many of Reed’s song are about her experience dealing with depression — not so much the bleak side of it, but the ways in which she finds her way out of the dark and into the light. Other songs tackle issues around toxic relationships. “Even though the subject matter of most of songs is serious, I mask it with an upbeat vibe—it’s this veneer of cheeriness that you feel you have to project in order to feel normal.” Reed’s early influences (and favorite artists) span the music spectrum, and include Tom Petty, Pink, Avril Lavigne, Radiohead, David Bowie, Demi Lovato, Kelly Clarkson, and Bob Marley.
