Violet Pen is a lyricist who writes introspective and relatable verse about relationships - with others and with yourself. Collaborating with other songwriters on the music, Violet Pen’s song lyrics read like pages from a journal, painting vivid images, expressing deep vulnerability and conveying the complexity of life situations in simple, honest ways. In her lyrics, Violet Pen draws from her colorful and complicated life, filled with multiple careers and loves, moves from Atlanta to San Francisco to Alaska, single motherhood, family trauma and growing up in a small southern town on 11 acres of cow pasture. The musical style of her songs span Americana, folk and country. Influenced by great storytellers such as Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell, she has often found herself in their songs - and she hopes others might find themselves in hers.
