Nashville-based indie singer/songwriter Whitney Fenimore knew she was destined to be a musician ever since she picked up an old plastic toy guitar at her grandmother’s. She’s already released several albums, landed a publishing deal with Ken Caillat (Fleetwood Mac, Colbie Caillat), was a semi-finalist on Season 13 of NBC’s “The Voice,” had her SXSW debut showcase in 2018, and has opened up for GRAMMY-award winner Lori McKenna, Julia Michaels, The Brilliance and Jake Scott, among others.
Born and raised in The Bible Belt of America (Tulsa, Oklahoma), Whitney was engulfed by Christian music; coming from a very religious Christian family, she grew up in the church and attended a Christian high school and college. Although that style of music shaped much of what she knows about music today, after college she ultimately decided Christian music wasn’t what she wanted to pursue. “I really wanted to do music that would relate and reach more people than just the Christian community,” Whitney explains. “My faith was changing and I wanted to dig deeper into my songwriting and felt like I couldn’t if I continued down the path I was on.”
Her experiences and influences from being immersed in music-heavy cities such as Los Angeles and Nashville, have greatly shaped what her forthcoming music is all about. Since moving to Nashville five years ago, Whitney explains, the city “has pushed me to be a better musician and songwriter, since everyone here pretty much does the same thing, you have to keep up! You’re a small fish in a huge pond, but it’s really great because it challenges you.”
As she continues to evolve as an artist, Whitney Fenimore remains committed to authenticity and artistic exploration. With her dedication to crafting music that is genuine, relatable, and emotionally resonant, she’s constantly pushing the boundaries of her own sound and redefining the indie experience.
Whitney Fenimore's journey is far from over, and with each new release, she invites us to dive deeper into the soul-stirring, thought-provoking world of her music. Fenimore’s passion, talent, and dedication promise to leave an indelible mark on the music industry for years to come.
Fenimore is set to release a new single November 14 titled “Punching Bag” featuring Addison Agen. In "Punching Bag," Whitney Fenimore explores the complexities of relationships, self-awareness, and personal growth. The song delves into the universal experience of not always being able to reciprocate the support and love we receive from our partners, and the internal struggle to confront and overcome our own emotional baggage. Fenimore's poignant lyrics and haunting melodies create a moving musical journey that speaks to the heart and soul.
