Country Singing Sensation Josie Sal Releases ‘Fake Friends' Single
"It's so crazy, God has aligned
the stars. I sang as a dare and immediately started getting booked," said 13-year-old Country singing sensation
Josie Sal when I pointed out how it looks like she is always on tour. "It's not like we try to find them (performance
gigs)."
Josie Sal debuted with a single
"On My Way" at the age of 10 in Florida. She went on to release her "Two Cents" single. Her newest single
is titled "Fake Friends" and is produced by Noah Henson (Kane Brown, Brantley Gilbert).
"My siblings are so supportive," she told me when I asked
about family support because of her young age. "They send me song ideas and say, ‘You should write about this.'
My parents said we'll chase it...or move on to something else (depending on what she wants to do)."
Josie also plays guitar, and I asked her about that.
