Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sinclair is making her mark in the music industry, and has just released her debut EP "Sweet Talk" on SoundCloud via independent label Drive Music LLC. "Sweet Talk" was produced by Grammy-nominated producer John Alagia (who has worked with the likes of John Mayer, Ben Folds, Dave Matthews, and Jason Mraz) and platinum-selling songwriter/producer Nolan Sipe.

Sinclair was born in upstate New York and has earned many local and national awards for her competitive classical guitar talent. Her career really began after she revealed to her pastor father and eight siblings that she was a lesbian -- they suddenly became at odds with her. Because of this sudden disconnection from her family, she packed her bags and moved to Nashville to chase her dreams of being a professional musician. Clearly, this has worked out for her so far, considering Sinclair has since toured with musicians Ingrid Michaelson and Graham Colton.

Sinclair's story is one of self-discovery, struggle, and acceptance. She is an example of overcoming the odds and walking your own path.
