Lacy Ann Cavalier (born March 26, 1997 in Louisiana) is an American actress and a rising country singer.

Lacy Cavalier moved to Nashville at only 16 to pursue her love of music. From launching her entertainment career on Barney and Friends as a little girl, to more recently opening up for Chase Rice on his U.S tour, Lacy has had a wide range of experiences within the music industry that have helped her grow as a songwriter while simultaneously growing up as a young woman.

“I’ve definitely learned that I am incapable of having artistic growth without personal growth,” Lacy, now 22, shares with heirwaves in Nashville, reflecting on how she has grown since she first began writing.

“For many years, I felt the pressure of what radio wanted, what labels wanted, or what publishers wanted because I wanted to succeed and I wanted to give that to them,” she says.

Lacy concludes that she had to overcome that sense of insecurity and return to why she wanted to pursue music in the first place, noting “I realized that’s not at all what art is about or what music is meant to be,” she says, and the new-found confidence is evident in her voice.

She also has been more intentional, not just with her lyrics, but with making time to write songs on her own. “I revisited writing on my own, which I didn’t do a lot in the beginning years after moving to Nashville,” Lacy shares, adding that her confidence in writing her own songs helps her to feel secure walking into a writing room with other co-writers.

Lacy found her perfect balance of vulnerability with the release of her single, “Cheating on You” in October 2018. The song is inspired by the sense of loss after a relationship, where you still feel loyal to someone you don’t belong to anymore. While Lacy’s early releases may have showcased her strong vocals, “Cheating On You” elevated Lacy’s ability to also be honest and raw as a songwriter.
