Rappaport To The Rescue

BIO:

Growing up in Texas, horses weren’t just animals to me—they were my escape, my therapy, my greatest teachers and faithful friends to my little sister and I. From 5 years old, I learned that working with my Shetland pony, Coco, required patience, trust, and a whole lotta heart. You can’t force a horse to do anything; you have to earn their respect and build a bond. That lesson stuck with me, not just in the saddle but in life, in music, and in raising five kiddos.

There’s something about being around horses that clears my mind and brings me back to my roots. When life gets crazy—touring, recording, balancing family and career—I know I can always find peace in the quiet rhythm of a horse’s breath, the steady beat of hooves on the ground. That rhythm, in a way, has even shaped my songwriting. Music, much like riding, has a flow, a natural give and take. You can’t rush it, and you can’t fake it.

Horses have taught me resilience. I’ve told my children there have been times when I’ve been thrown—literally and figuratively—but just like in riding, you get back up, dust yourself off, and keep on keepin’ on. That mindset carried me through the ups and downs of my journey, especially during my time on The Voice. Staying true to myself, trusting the process, and putting in the work paid off in ways I could have never imagined.

Now, whenever I write a song or step on stage, I bring that same authenticity I’ve learned from horses. They don’t judge; they just feel. And that’s exactly what I want my music to do—connect, heal, and move people in the most honest way possible.
