Alyssa Micaela is saving the lonely for a rainy day in her newest video for \u201cHeartbreak Vacay.\u201d The sunny single is an instant getaway to a tropical destination where chilly margaritas are always flowing, and the ocean waves wash all your troubles away.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeartbreak Vacay\u201d mixes performance footage from the recent BMI Songwriters Festival in Key West, Fla. with scenes of Micaela taking in Key West\u2019s coastal vibes by bike and lush beaches. The song was co-written with one of her best friends, Emily Landis, and it\u2019s the first release from Micaela\u2019s forthcoming EP that\u2019s set for a release later this summer.<\/p>\n

Get to know Micaela in her own words below.<\/p>\n

Liz Rose<\/a> was the first songwriter to believe in me.<\/strong> I met her when I was 15 or 16 years old, and she has been a champion of mine ever since. I wouldn\u2019t be in Nashville doing what I love if it weren\u2019t for her.<\/p>\n

I was very shy when I was a little girl and being shy just really isn\u2019t an option in my family.<\/strong> My mom made me join an after-school music program hoping that it would bring me out of my shell. I was eight the first time I sang in front of a crowd. I can\u2019t explain the feeling performing gives me, but I just knew at that moment, that\u2019s what I wanted to do forever. It is truly my happy place. And I\u2019m thankful for a family who 100% supports my crazy dreams.<\/p>\n

Songwriting is free therapy!<\/strong> I try to just be honest and write what I know and hope that people can relate to it. Whether it\u2019s a drinking song, or a love song, or a song about heartbreak if even one person relates to the song, I know I did something right.<\/p>\n

The best advice I\u2019ve been given was from Mickey Guyton.<\/strong> She told me to never compare myself to everyone around me because everyone\u2019s journey is completely different.<\/p>\n

I played a showcase at The Country (which is now called The Local) several years ago, and it was the worst show of my life!<\/strong> Sound check went great. Showtime rolled around, and the room was packed. I stepped onstage, and the moment I started singing all you could hear was screeching feedback! It was brutal. I had a total of five songs, and the poor sound guy didn\u2019t get it fixed until song three. I just smiled and kept going, but I really wanted to crawl in a hole and die. I still have nightmares about it. Needless to say, that show didn\u2019t get me a record deal Ha-ha. It\u2019s funny now though, and I\u2019m glad I at least showed people I don\u2019t cave under pressure.<\/p>\n

I am a huge Aaron Watson fan. Over the past few years, I\u2019ve gotten to know him and toured with him some.<\/strong> I went to see him play at The Ryman in January. I was sitting in the balcony watching the show when all of a sudden, he called me up onstage to sing with him! I thought I was dreaming. It was real though, and I got to make my Ryman debut with Aaron Watson. I\u2019ll never forget it.<\/p>\n
