Bareilles broke onto the scene with her hit 2007 anthem "Love Song" off her debut album Little Voice. Since then, she has taken home a Grammy Award for Best American Roots Performance for her performance of “Saint Honesty” and earned seven more Grammy nominations, two Tony nominations, and three Emmy nominations. Her book, Sounds Like Me: My Life (So Far) in Song, was released in fall 2015. Making her Broadway debut, Bareilles composed the music and lyrics for Waitress, and made her Broadway performance debut in 2017 by stepping into the show's lead role. In 2019, the singer-songwriter released her fifth full-length album, Amidst The Chaos. Soon after, she teamed up with her writing and producing partner, Jessie Nelson (the book writer for Waitress), J.J. Abrams, and Apple to executive produce Little Voice, a musical drama series featuring her original music.
