Michaela Slinger made her first public performance at age three during an NBA game. At three years old, Slinger sang the national anthem at an NBA game. Slinger saw Maggie Rogers as an important source of inspiration when deciding to become a musician. Slinger also said she was influenced by early Kacey Musgraves. Slinger said she is a big fan of John Mayer.

Slinger wrote the song Dreaming in Nashville last year. She wrote Dreaming after a conversation with her sister about relationships and love. Louis Johnson is the co-writer of Dreaming. Slinger’s new album Green and Trying was released on September 25. Green and Trying was written during Slinger’s period as an independent artist after she left her previous record label.

A significant portion of the album was recorded at Protection Island Studios with live instruments played together. Slinger’s October 3 show in Vancouver will feature the largest group she has performed with so far.
