Career
Early life
Atterberry moved frequently in her childhood, as her mother was a member of the United States Armed Forces, residing in New Jersey and Mississippi before finally settling in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. While there, Atterberry attended the Pittsburgh High School for Creative and Performing Arts, and performed with the Pittsburgh Festival Opera. At 19, she decided to pursue a music career after being offered the opportunity to participate in the Emmy Award-winning soundtrack from Fly Boys: Western Pennsylvania's Tuskegee Airmen. Atterberry said, “I left home, quit my post office job, and got in the car to move to Georgia. That is what really started the journey within the industry.”Songwriting
Atterberry's most prolific collaborator has been Atlantic Records artist K. Michelle, writing, producing, and/or vocal producing on her four major-label albums, Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart?, More Issues Than Vogue, and Kimberly: The People I Used to Know ), as well as three unofficial mixtapes and a Christmas EP. Atterberry stated that " musical chemistry was amazing. We loved to be creative and have a good time." In 2018, Atterberry co-wrote single "Sugar Daddy" alongside singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor, placing the song on Macy Gray's album Ruby. The song charted on the Billboard Adult R&B Chart for several weeks. In 2020, Atterberry wrote the song "Enough is Enough" for the ESPN documentary highlighting the 2020 WNBA season. In 2022, Atterberry contributed single "Hard To Love" to Blackpink's album Born Pink.Advocacy
Early in her career, Atterberry became temporarily homeless after signing an early publishing contract which did not compensate her for her writing contributions. She stated in an article for BuzzFeed News that over the years she has never made enough money from a song to receive her advance, meaning she has “never seen a publishing check.” Her passion for songwriter advocacy motivated her to join organization "The 100 Percenters", who lobby for songwriters to get access to publishing, additional songwriting fees, and other benefits for those that are stuck in outdated publishing contracts. They offer resources for artists to take advantage of, and strive to make the music industry a safe and fair place.Atterberry is an instructor for "1500 Sound Academy: The Contemporary Songwriter", a course currently offered at Arizona State University.
Personal life
Her son, Niko, is her primary inspiration and motivation. He was diagnosed with Autism, a developmental disorder that affects one in 44 children. Atterberry proudly advocates to educate and spread understanding of the autistic spectrum.Songwriting credits
