Who: Audrey Hobert
A lifelong singer, musical theatre devotee and dancer, Audrey got her first taste of songwriting when childhood best friend and then-roommate Gracie Abrams pulled Audrey into the making of her album The Secret of Us. Together, they wrote some of Gracie’s standouts like “I Love You, I’m Sorry” and “Risk”—for which Audrey directed the music videos—as well as current global hit “That’s So True.”
Working a job in TV writing at the time, Audrey had no intention of becoming a songwriter, let alone an artist. But she enjoyed the experience immensely, and when she went back to writing songs after Gracie’s album done, thinking she was writing for other artists, she realized she was writing them for herself.
