Holly Auna: Holly Auna's most recent album, "Love Shouldn't Be So Hard,” released on June 7, 2019 hit #12 on the official singer/songwriter iTunes charts. On the day of the album release, Spotify's playlist curators chose Holly Auna's song "Secrets" for their officially curated playlist "Take it Slow." During CMA Fest of June 2019, Holly Auna was nominated for four fan-voted WOBA awards and won in two categories: Top Song for her single "Meet Me at Midnight," and Top Charisma. In 2017, Holly received her first cut as a songwriter with "There's This Boy" on country artist Tenille Arts' album "Rebel Child." The album reached #4 on the Country iTunes Chart, and the song was in rotation on Radio Disney Country on SiriusXM radio. At the age of 19, she signed a deal with the Disney Network where they featured her original music on the Disney Stars YouTube Channel. In the summer of 2019, she went on her first tour, The Test Drive Tour, with Americana artist, Joshua Hunt, hitting many cities along the east coast. Her second tour, "The Spring Fling Tour" scheduled to hit many cities across the southeast, was recently canceled due to the COVID19 pandemic.
