A highly respected figure in the independent music scene, Loebe is celebrated for her powerful songwriting and sharp business acumen.

A founding member of the Austin-based band Nobody’s Girl and a successful solo artist, she has performed and toured with legends like Shawn Colvin and Mary Chapin Carpenter. Loebe gained international attention with her appearance on the first season of NBC’s “The Voice,” where her single “Come As You Are” charted globally. Loebe is a highly entrepreneurial artist who graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in music production and engineering. Her work has charted on the Americana Top 40 and Billboard Heatseekers charts, and her single “Growing Up” was featured in Rolling Stone. She offers a unique perspective combining high-level technical skills with sustained success as an independent recording and touring artist.
