This is Skyla's first appearance in Country Weekly, and it's an occasion she is - needless to say - very excited about.

She shares, "The song sends the powerful message to never give up on your dreams, never give up on love, and to remember that nothing is out of reach if you believe!"

It wasn't that long ago that Skyla dreamed about having a featured piece in Country Weekly, thinking to herself, How cool would it be to be in this magazine. Today, she realizes this dream. It is a memorable career milestone in and of itself - but even more meaningful because it will allow Skyla to share her song and message with a broader fan base. With music as her vehicle, Skyla consciously drives toward creating music that will touch people's lives. "Through my music, I hope to bring a smile to someone's face and lift them up in some way."

Her current single does just that! "Making a difference and having an impact on someone's life is my main focus. I write songs from personal experiences and from other people's life. To share my music with one of the most well respected and known country music magazines and its readers is truly awesome!"

Radio Helps “This Girl” Reach Fans!

Jul 15, 2009

Nashville, TN (July 15, 2009) – Radio continues to play an integral role in the gradual success of SKYLA SPENCER’s current single, “This Girl”! Since its release to radio in May, “This Girl” has earned consistent spin and add increases from stations across the country. The single is currently at #25 on Indie World Country Chart. Skyla was recently the featured guest artist interviewed by Big Stew of WGSQ, The Country Giant, 94.7 FM out of Cookeville, TN.

Coming off another year at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, TN, Skyla is delighted that the positive message of empowerment that inspired her and co-writer Heather Andrews to pen “This Girl” is impacting fans. Angie, from Tennessee, shared her story with Skyla:

“I can relate to this song in so many ways. To me it is very inspiring and kind of like a rally song to remind you not to let yourself get knocked down by life's curve balls. I think this song is motivating and will pump girls up! You can't focus on the negative all the time and what isn't working in your life; you have to look towards the future and the positive. For me that is the message behind this song. I can just see the next bad day at work or the inevitable next bad break-up this will so be the song me and my friends rock out to, to remind us that there is so much more life to be lived, so many good times to be had, and this bad day is just one moment on our rollercoaster of life!”

The Winter Creek Records recording artist and songwriter is also an award-winning professional dancer and choreographer, and you’ll find her utilizing those skills each week at the Wildhorse Saloon in downtown Nashville! Skyla is entirely in her element as she twirls all over the stage teaching dance steps to visitors to the world famous venue. Her charismatic personality and upbeat energy draw large crowds to the dance floor.

"This Girl" is now available to purchase on CD Baby and iTunes.
