An album, The Life of a Pirate, followed in 2010, and as her social media pages began attracting impressive traffic, several major record labels began bidding for her services.
But when a session vocalist failed to show up after Groves booked time to record demos of her latest batch of songs, she sang them herself with the encouragement of the engineers on the session, and the material grew into her first independent EP, 2009's A Month of Sundays.
Eventually, Groves was inspired to follow her dreams after the death of her brother, and she began focusing on her songwriting, initially intending to present her work to other artists to record. Groves graduated from high school when she was just 16, and while she was keenly interested in songwriting, her family discouraged her from making music a career, and she instead attended culinary school in Scottsdale, Arizona. One of seven siblings, Groves soaked up early musical influences as a child from her mother (who liked Phil Collins and Amy Grant) and her stepfather (who was into Lynyrd Skynyrd and Styx), and has cited hearing Frank Sinatra and Alanis Morissette on the radio in the family's van as experiences that made her want to write and sing her own songs. A vocalist and songwriter whose music blended upbeat pop with personal themes, Cady Groves was born in Marlow, Oklahoma on July 30, 1989.
