Challey has always enjoyed singing, but she is so passionate about music that she was determined to learn something new. About five years ago, Challey sat down and taught herself how to play the guitar.

“I can’t pinpoint a moment that I got into it, but it wasn’t until recently that my friends noticed I could sing,” Challey said.

During Spring Break of 2010, Challey’s friends noticed that not only could she sing, but she was good at it. They started constantly asking her to play songs for them, and they fell in love with her voice. Now, all of her best friends and sorority sisters are front row for every concert that she opens for.

A friend of Challey’s plays at Bourbon Street in and asked her to open for his band one night. Since then, Challey has had many opportunities with other groups to perform. She has had the privilege to open for bands such as Ingram Hill, The Odettas and The Grand Magnolias, formerly called Hightide Blues. She has played at bars not only in Auburn, but in Birmingham as well.

Challey likes to perform popular songs written by other people, but she also performs her own music. Challey has written seven of her own songs, and occasionally when playing covers, she will throw in a few of her own.

“I used to be really shy about,” said Challey.

Her friends have described her as sounding like a mixture between Colbie Caillat and Michelle Branch, along with Hanson and Justin Bieber.

Challey has her own Facebook page where viewers can click “Like” and be able to listen to twelve of her songs. She posts photographs from recent events, along with information about upcoming events.
