THE DELUXE IS HERE
I am thrilled to share the deluxe version of I'm Glad I Stayed with you. I had four more songs that I wrote late in the process for the album, so they didn't make the cut, but I just had to share them with you. I also found the original worktape of Villain in my archives and I couldn't believe how much this song evolved. I decided to add that to the album, as a way to show how much a song can change. I hope you enjoy these bonus songs as much as I do.
MY DEBUT ALBUM IS HERE
Since I started releasing music, I knew I wanted to put out an album. So last March, I sat down with Craig and Alyssa, and I brought them around 10 songs, and most of them were scrapped. We tossed around an EP, we tossed around just doing singles, and ultimately decided to just start setting up studio time and go from there. Then we lost Craig. And the world stopped for me for about two months. But thanks to the support of so many incredible people, this project got put back on the table. And now just over a year later, it is yours.
This project would not have been possible without the amazing group of women I got to work with. I intentionally decided to create a project using only women in the industry, as I was becoming frustrated with constantly being the only woman in many of the rooms. Thank you to Alana Velvis for the unbelievable drums. Thank you to Hallie for the killer guitars. Thank you to Amy for your impeccable mastering. Thank you to my little sister Anna for helping with photos and to my cousin Colleen, who always gives her astute graphic design input on everything I do. But above all, this project wouldn’t be possible without Alyssa Trahan. Not only did she co-produce this project with me, she played multiple instruments, coached me through my vocals, gave emotional support along the way, shot the album photos, and just is one of the best people in this business. This album would not exist without you, Alyssa, and I will forever be grateful for you.
There have been many moments in my life when I didn’t think I would make it. This album chronicles the past year of my life, which tested me in ways nothing else has. It has taken me a long time to appreciate the life I was given, but I am so very glad I stayed.
MY BACKSTORY
Hi there! My name is Miggie Snyder and I am a singer, songwriter, musician, music director, and performer based in Nashville, TN. I was born in the suburbs of Chicago, IL and began piano lessons at the age of four. At twelve, I began writing music and have been in love with it ever since. I spent my childhood performing in a variety of choirs, show choirs, and musicals. One of my all-time favorite experiences was performing at Carnegie Hall with the Honors Performance Series Choir. I went to college at Western Michigan University and graduated summa cum laude with a BFA in Musical Theatre Performance and a minor in Non-Profit Administration. I performed professionally in a number of theatre shows before the pandemic hit in 2020.
When the pandemic hit, I put all my energy into my writing. I began releasing music in the spring of 2020 with my debut single, "Paris". In the summer of 2020, my original song "Legend Lake" went viral on TikTok, accumulating over 5 million views. In 2021, I released my debut EP titled "Beginning" featuring six original songs written and produced by me. In the beginning of 2022, I released my single "music man" which also went viral on TikTok, accumulating 10 million views. In the summer of 2022, I went on my first tour around the midwest, playing in venues in Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. Currently, I am working on new projects and I can't wait to share them with you!
