We really enjoyed talking with 13-year-old, rising country start Josie Sal on this episode. We talked to Josie about the unconventional start of her career (a bet from her dad), how she put here team together, her newest single “Fake Friends” and how she balances it all! 

At just ten years old, Josie Sal took a dare from her father to sing in front of a crowd in Florida, sparking a passion for music that quickly transformed into a promising career. After her impromptu performance of “Dance Monkey” captivated the audience, Josie began taking vocal and guitar lessons and performing at venues across Pittsburgh and Florida. By age eleven,she had already shared the stage with stars like Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll and opened for country icons such as Riley Green and Aaron Tippin. 

 Josie has written and recorded multiple original songs, including her debut single, “On My Way,” and continues to make waves in the music industry. With performances at major events like Tootsie’s 64th Annual Birthday Bash and a nomination for Junior Artist of the Year at the 10th Annual Josie Music Awards, her star is rapidly rising. Known for her versatile repertoire that spans country to classic rock, Josie's energy and emotional connection with audiences make every performance unforgettable.
