Jaelee Roberts Dreams, Digs Deep; Writes & Releases New Single, "One's Real Life"

Showcased at IBMA World of Bluegrass

Nashville, TN -- Bluegrass wunderkind Jaelee Roberts' newest single, "One's Real Life," originated in a dream. Roberts recalls, "In this dream, Harley Allen and I were writing a song. When I woke up, I could vividly remember the melody and the hook ... 'one's real life' ... and a few other lines. It was enough to get me thinking about the differences between what we see in people's photos and the reality of their lives, so I had a pretty good start on it from the beginning."

"One's a photo and one is real life

Oh, it hurts to know which one is right

Memories are the only things that are holding me at night

When you left me you really did you stole my light" - J. Roberts

This Music City native is no stranger to the music industry. Born to music professionals Danny (The Grascals) Roberts and entertainer/agent Andrea Roberts, Jaelee has grown up backstage at the Grand Ole Opry, in business meetings, in recording studios, and at festivals and concerts.

Roberts got her start singing in church at a very early age - and she doesn't remember a time when she wasn't completely in love with music.

Jaelee began her journey as an instrumentalist at age four with fiddle lessons and has since added guitar, mandolin and piano to her musical arsenal. 
From six to 12 Jaelee participated in and won numerous music and dance competitions but found that her passion was for performance.

She has been blessed with many opportunities to take the stage with a long list of her musical heroes, including Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle, Rhonda Vincent, The Grascals and more.

While ranking her on-stage experiences would be next to impossible, a definite highlight will always be joining The Whites - Buck, Sharon and Cheryl - on the Opry for a finale version of "Keep On The Sunny Side." Jaelee is a freshman at Middle Tennessee State University (Murfreesboro) where she is studying Commercial Songwriting and Music Business at the school's College of Media and Entertainment. "One's Real Life" follows her debut single (Feb 22, 2019), "All My Tears" (YouTube Audio),  a charting release from earlier this year.
