She lived in an attic on Music Row. She worked five days a week at Bass Pro Shops, selling fishing boats and engines before getting fired for composing songs on the job.

However, she made it a point to compulsorily network, get her foot in the door for any opportunities for co-writes. She also promised to do at least five things a day to promote her career on her two days off each week. She even designed t-shirts featuring lyrics by great artists like Conway Twitty as instant conversation starters.

Early Bio and Education

Dasher was raised in the countryside of Savannah around the mid-Atlantic coast of Georgia. Her birthday falls on 17 March. But, some sources claim her birth year to be 1986, while some cite it as 1989. 

Dasher grew up singing and loving music. She reminisced that she decided to become an entertainer at 3 after she witnessed Alan Jackson perform. Dasher also proclaimed that she was the 'youngest member of Alan Jackson fan club' while growing up.

Further, in an interview, she said that every day after school, she looked forward to coming home and listening to country music on the radio. Then on the weekends, her parents often organized gatherings with barbeque, music, and Dasher could not get enough songs to be played every weekend.

At 14, her father presented a guitar. Dasher went to middle school, high school and got introduced to rock and roll music. She also realized that even women could sing and perform on stage.

After high school, Dasher went to the University of Georgia. Her parents got divorced during her freshmen year, and she discovered songwriting as a medium to release her pent-up emotions. One of her classmates identified her talent from the quality of her songs and suggested Dasher find a publishing deal. It encouraged Dasher to pursue music professionally.

TikTok: 'Stand By Your Pan'

Dasher took some personal time for her emotional and mental growth during the pandemic. From 2020, she indulged in the TikTok app and began uploading videos on her favorite cooking recipes along with her jokes.

She named the food content series Stand By Your Pan on her official account. Dasher even got the name and the concept copyrighted as she thought it was a great idea to work in the future, even if it does not work out on the app.

However, Dasher's TikTok itself took off with 1.4 million followers with 17.9 million likes as of February 2022.

Songs and Albums

Subsequently, in 2020, Dasher released another single, 'Girls Call the shots' and then 'Left Right' in 2021.

Further in 2021, she also released a studio collection The Half Record. She initially wanted to launch a full album. But, Dasher underwent some financial constraints that led her to put out only half of what she intended. The collection includes five tracks, including 'Leave This Bar' and her favorite track, 'You're Gonna Love Me.'

In an interview, Dasher proudly said that she could see the influence of 80s and 90s country music in her songs. She also believes that the current generation's country music listeners could hear and feel the legacy of the previous generation's country music from her music.

She added, "…When I listen back, I love that I can hear my 80s and 90s country influences in my music. [Producer Brandon Hood] did a great job of capturing that, like on the song "Leave This Bar," it's got this Reba vibe to it, and then when you hear the band jamming and the breakdown at the end of "You're Gonna Love Me," and especially in "Left Right," you hear my Lynyrd Skynyrd, honky tonk, swampy Jamey Johnson. You hear my influences in a lot of those songs, and so I'm really excited to see what The Half Record is going to do, to see the impact that it's going to have…."

Her new song titled 'Tall Boy' released in October 2021.

Tour

Further, in 2021, Dasher is set to tour for her The Half Record album along with You're Gonna Love Me Tailgate Tour. In October 2021, she has been set to perform in a concert at the Madison Theater alongside Steel Woods.
