The only child of Elvis Presley made her own music in her thirties, writing songs about family, loss, and life in the spotlight.
For a sense of her voice, try 'Lights Out' or 'So Long.' They're plainspoken, a little weary, and unmistakably hers.
She grew up at Graceland but didn't release her first album until she was 35. That record, 'To Whom It May Concern,' hit number five on the Billboard 200. Songs like 'Lights Out' and 'So Long' show a songwriter working through her own complicated inheritance, not just trading on a famous name.
Born in Memphis in 1968, she spent her childhood at her father's estate. Her debut came in 2003, followed by a second album, 'Now What,' in 2005. She collaborated with people like Billy Corgan and Richard Hawley along the way.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
