BIO

Born in Nashville and raised in West Tennessee, the 24-year-old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is already building a resume that matches her ambition. She’s performed at the legendary Bluebird Cafe, continues to grow a fast-rising fanbase online with over 83,000 social media followers, and spends most weekends on the road fronting Bella Lam and The Boys, all while completing her music degree at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga.

One of just a few songwriters of Asian descent in country music, Lam’s musical roots were nurtured early on by her grandfather—an immigrant from China who encouraged his grandchildren to learn instruments, instilling a lifelong passion that now fuels her bold sound.

Lam’s journey to the stage hasn’t been easy—it’s been shaped by resilience and determination. Born prematurely, Bella faced significant medical challenges at birth, including collapsed lungs that left her struggling to breathe. She later underwent years of occupational and speech therapy to overcome a severe lisp and fine motor difficulties—obstacles that once made a career in music feel out of reach.

“What I’m doing now used to be an impossible dream,” Lam says. “I couldn’t be more grateful.”

Bella continues to establish herself as a rising voice in country music, pairing heartfelt storytelling with a growing national audience as she heads into 2026. “Bootfirst” is the follow up to her previously-released songs “Take It Out On My Guitar” and “Tears In My Tequila,” co-written with Jason Blaine and Benji Cowart.
