On this episode, up-and-coming singer-songwriter Bella Peadon opens up about the inspiration and creative process behind her 2025 single “Ms Montana.” Written during a pivotal transition in her life, the song captures Bella’s leap of faith as she left behind expectations and followed her instincts to Montana—a move that deeply shaped both her sound and perspective. She shares how her background in environmental science weaves into her lyricism, the crucial role of collaboration in crafting the track, and the impact of working with vocal producer Nathan Wyatt. From layered harmonies to the song’s reflective third chorus, Bella breaks down the production and meaning behind each element, offering a glimpse into the heart of an emerging artist finding her voice and preparing for a bold new chapter in Nashville.
