Elise Davis began writing songs at the age of 12 in her hometown of Little Rock, AR. Her first song was inspired by typical tween debacle in which she begged her parents to let her go to a grungy rock band concert in downtown Little Rock. After they denied her of this freedom, she ran away. "I got all the way down the street and sat on the corner, feeling vengeful, knowing they were at home frant...ically worrying about where I'd run off to," she admitted.
After a few hours and no sign of a rescue, Davis moped home to find her parents exactly how she left them: her father sitting reading and her mother fixing things up around the house. Furious, she stomped past them and headed straight to her room. With a handful of guitar lessons and five chords in her pocket, she had enough musical ammunition to write her first song. Davis remembered: "I didn't even think about it at the time. I hadn’t planned on writing a song and I never thought about being a songwriter before… it just happened." And she was hooked.
