While trying to figure out how to unify her sound and her identity, Kalie Shorr turned to vision boards. It quickly changed her creative process and how she thinks about songwriting.
It started when Shorr’s booking agent pointed out that her bubbly online image and her grittier music don’t align. The conversation led her to start thinking about how to present herself. She told The Boot:
“I wanna sing songs about real stuff, and I definitely enjoy some tequila. All of my favorite country artists have toed that line, and I think it’s really cool and empowering as a woman to do that.”
So Shorr decided the best way to proceed was by creating a vision board. Once she started, she found that it was hard to stop. “My entire living room has turned into a vision board!” she laughed. “I have a Tammy Wynette book on my coffee table, Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails posters and all the sheet music to Shania Twain’s Up! It’s a crazy vision.”

After going through this process, songwriting has become a very visual process for Shorr. Her 2018 EP, Awake, is a testament to that. Her next project is also following a similar, visual-driven pattern.
“I’m really excited about that,” she said. “Just like with ‘Awake,’ the visuals are coming first.”
Can’t wait to see what’s in store!
