While most teenage girls are spending their free time shopping and trading make-up tips with their friends, singer/songwriter Lily Nelsen is busy traveling the country performing for fans, creating new music with Grammy-nominated songwriters, learning about the music business from Taylor Swift's former manager, and opening for Blake Shelton and Sara Evans at the Country Stampede Music Festival in Manhattan, Kansas. Nelsen has already performed at some of Nashville's most popular venues, including The Bridgestone Arena, The Listening Room, The Row, The Commodore and Opry Mills, and recently led in the creation of a compilation music CD to raise funds for the Kawasaki Disease Foundation The cause is important to Lily because she personally battled the autoimmune disease when she was a young child. But KDF isn't the only cause important to Lily as she also serves as a Teen Ambassador for HeartSongsforVeterans.org, an organization that utilizes music and good will to support awareness and funding to the Veteran and Wounded Soldier Community. These days, you can find Lily honing her songwriting skills down on music row.
