A biography for Aubrie Sellershasn’t been written yet.
“I was born in Nashville, but my whole family is from East Texas, so I consider myself a dual citizen.”
“I had all these raw, gritty rock records that really inspired me sonically, and so I think everything I listen to when I started writing my own songs kind of came out naturally, and it created this new sound.”
“My voice is very country, and my songwriting is very country.”
“Sometimes I'll meet somebody, and they've looked me up online or whatever, and they've never heard me talk or met me. I think they expect me to be a lot darker than I am and maybe less - not less friendly - but I guess I'm drawn to that dark emotional music. Maybe they think I'm a little more brooding.”
“I prefer to create friction. Because if you're not pushing buttons, you're just making something pleasant; it's probably been done before, and it's not making anyone feel anything.”
“Listening to 'Raising Sand' was one of those turning points in my life that really made something click in my brain.”
“I always knew I was going to do something with music, but with my whole family being in the business, acting was something that was just mine. But when I was 20 or 21, I started writing songs and felt the itch to make a record.”
“What really excites me is the production. I get in there and change a lot of stuff.”
“I just don't have a tolerance for people being fake, I don't think. Maybe especially when I think they have bad intentions.”
“Everyone in my family, they do music, and they love music; it's all about the music.”
“It is like therapy to write and have people connect with it. That's the kind of music I connect with most.”
“Steve Earle had a mainstream career. Dwight Yoakam had a mainstream career. Willie Nelson did. But they always made good music, they always stuck to who they were. They weren't relying on radio like a lot of people are in Nashville.”
“I've always been drawn to the real stuff and the stuff that feels authentic. And so when I'm writing songs, that's what I try to do.”
“I'm a very friendly, smiley person.”
“I love narrative videos, but sometimes I think they can limit a listener's experience of a song.”
“There's a new grievance every day to write about.”
“I think that soul, to me, is the theme of music that I connect with.”
“The drums are very trashy: it's all electric, it's very in your face, and it's not perfect. It's raw, and I think that's what 'garage' means.”
“It's very important to me that every person takes away their own meaning from a song, and it's why I don't always love spelling out what a song is about for somebody.”
“I think that because I have so many different influences, and that shows in my music, that different people can connect with it.”
