Ivey Leighton

A debut single is never just a song. It’s ten years of drafts, late-night voice memos, and learning how to trust your own taste long enough to hit release.

We sit down with Tennessee pop rock recording artist Ivy Leighton to unpack the real work behind her first official drop, “Good Girl,” out September 1st, 2026. Ivy shares the moment she got serious about songwriting at 14, the mix of influences that shaped her sound (Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Paramore, Wet Leg, Radiohead), and why she keeps coming back to angry, dramatic lyrics even when she tries to write something happy. She also gets specific about craft: starting with guitar or piano chords, finding lyrics through “gibberish” melodies, pulling one-liners from her Notes app, and turning a root feeling into a fictional story that still hits hard.

Then we go deep on music production and recording. Ivy walks us through capturing ideas on iPhone Voice Memos, tracking with a full band at a studio in Dunlap, Tennessee, and building vocal harmonies by experimenting in GarageBand on her phone before stepping up to the mic. We also talk mixing with nine-time Grammy winner Bob Bullock and what it feels like to hear your music come back with real punch for the first time.

After the livestream, we share a major update: Jay Franze officially steps in to manage Ivy, setting the stage for bigger shows, smarter career moves, and a long release runway. Listen, follow Ivy’s journey, and if “Good Girl” hits you, share it, subscribe, and leave a review so more people can find the music.

Welcome And Meet Ivy

Jay Franze 0:31

And we are coming at you live. I am Jay Franzi. And if you are new to the show, this is your source for the latest news, reviews, and interviews. And if you would like to join in, comment, or fire off any questions, please head over to jfranzie.com. Alright, my friends, tonight we have a very special guest with us. We have a pop rock recording artist hailing from the great state of Tennessee. We have Ivy Leighton. Ivy, my friend, thank you for joining.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

Thank you for having me.

Jay Franze 1:06

It is my pleasure. I am so super excited to talk to you tonight. We have so many things to go over. But first, I would like to know if you remember the moment that you realized that this

When Songwriting Became Real

Jay Franze 1:18

was what you wanted to do.

SPEAKER_00 1:21

Sure. You could always say that it was since I was a child, but everybody says that. When I thought about doing it seriously, I was really 14 years old and I had just written my first finished song. And I was like, wow, my parents really like this song. My family really likes this song. Maybe I should keep writing. And you know, at the time I thought it was a really good song. I don't even remember what it sounded like. But yeah, I mean, as an early teenager, that's that's when I started to be like, okay, this is what I want to do.

Influences And Defining Her Sound

Jay Franze 1:58

So what music were you listening to in your early teens?

SPEAKER_00 2:01

Oh boy. Same as now. Taylor Swift. A lot of cold play, actually. My parents grew up listening to Coldplay a lot. This band Rilo Kylie, my mom liked to listen to a lot. Just a lot of like classic pop, of course. I appreciate classic pop.

Jay Franze 2:23

Well, with that said, how would you describe your music?

SPEAKER_00 2:28

I would hope it's right smack in the middle of my music taste that typically ranges from classic pop music, of course, and angsty alt rock songs, and also just like really devastating songs. And I want a little bit of it all to be right in the middle.

Jay Franze 2:51

Give us some of the influences to your rock music.

SPEAKER_00 2:55

Oh man, that is a good question. A lot of it comes from Haley Williams from Paramour. Um, she is a great, great influence, obviously very, very famous, and she's been doing what she does for a very long time.

Jay Franze 3:10

It's another Tennessee band, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 3:12

Uh I think so, yeah. Sometimes wet leg, too. That's a newer, newer influence, though, because I I've been listening to them for maybe like a couple years at this point. And really just some old roots from my parents listening to rock music, Radiohead.

Learning Guitar And Early Breakup Songs

Jay Franze 3:30

Now, when you started writing your own music, were you already playing instruments?

SPEAKER_00 3:37

So my dad plays guitar, so I naturally watched him growing up play guitar, and you know, every now and then I picked it up. But really at 14 I uh just kind of self-taught myself, and that really just came from using guitar tabs and just learning chords that way, and I was like, okay, and then eventually I just memorized them, it was muscle memory, it got a little bit faster, and then I started to realize what went with what and how weird I can get with it. So yeah.

Jay Franze 4:12

I like the fact that you say how weird you can get with it. So, how weird or outside of the box do you feel like you take your music?

SPEAKER_00 4:20

I feel like I I I take a take a brave step out of it, but you know, not so much where people are gonna be like, all right, that doesn't sound like that goes there. But I I hope I can have a good judgment on something that sounds like interesting, not quite off-putting, but just like, oh, didn't know that was gonna happen. But I like it.

Jay Franze 4:43

Very cool. No, I know what your music sounds like today. When you first started writing songs, what did it sound like then?

SPEAKER_00 4:53

Totally different, totally different. You know, it it just probably sounded like really bad pop music.

Jay Franze 5:06

What was the subject matter?

SPEAKER_00 5:08

Oh, breakups. So easy to write about breakups. I cannot, for the life of me, write a good number of happy songs, still to this day.

Jay Franze 5:23

Why do you think that is?

SPEAKER_00 5:28

It's fun to be angry, it's fun to be sad and dramatic, and that's why I like songwriting. I don't feel like I mean, I think I should challenge myself to write a happy song or two. I have some, but it's just more fun to do it that way.

Jay Franze 5:47

Do you feel like you're drawing that inspiration from your life?

SPEAKER_00 5:52

Um To be completely honest, there's a, you know, there's a lot of my songs where, you know, the root of the feeling is there from something that I feel. But a lot of the storytelling is not quite what happens in my life. I kind of just picture a character for the most part, and I honestly make up a lot of stuff. A lot of it is very fictional, but we can pretend it's about me.

Jay Franze 6:21

Nice, I like that. So when you're making stuff up, are you making it up based on like friends of yours or just completely made up?

SPEAKER_00 6:29

Honestly, I just like to use my imagination. I have written songs based off of some of my friends, of course. Um, but then you know, I change it, you know, because it sounds better this way. Yeah, oh yeah, of course, of course. I don't want to do that to them. But yeah, I uh it's it's it's very very made up and and uh just all on my imagination, and it's it's kind of always been like that for the most

Writing Process Notes App And Fear

SPEAKER_00 6:59

part.

Jay Franze 6:59

All right, well let's jump into the present day. Can you kind of describe what your songwriting process is like now?

SPEAKER_00 7:05

Oh yeah. I hope I can branch out to all of the possibilities, but what my go-to is is you know, just start with an instrument, whether that's my guitar, whether that's my piano. Typically I just kind of figure out what chords I want to hear in that moment. And sometimes I come up with lyrics by singing in gibberish, and accidentally a word falls out of my mouth, and then I'm like, oh, you know what? I actually kind of want to use that. Or I will go through my notes app and find a long list of one-liners that I've been waiting to use or are more recent or have been like laying in there for a long time. Sometimes I put them together if they make sense. It's kind of just uh pick and choose, and then I get creative after I kind of have the base of the story.

Jay Franze 8:05

You're obviously writing by yourself at this point. Do you ever write with anybody else?

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Believe it or not, I have never done that before. All of my songs are written by myself. To be very honest, I am a little bit scared to write with someone, at least like in person, just because I feel like it's gonna be like it happens to be a bad day where I can't come up with anything, and they're like, This person sucks at writing songs. But that that's my my fear if that ever happens. But I I would like to get into doing that because I've only got so many ideas.

Jay Franze 8:45

They'll never stop, trust me.

SPEAKER_00 8:47

Yeah, that's true.

Jay Franze 8:48

So you're you're writing these songs, you're coming up with the chord changes, the melodies, and you're putting the the lyrics together. So when you finally craft the song you like and you feel comfortable with it, and you're you're ready to take it to the next level, how do

From Voice Memos To Studio Band

Jay Franze 9:02

you lay it down? What are you recording it with?

SPEAKER_00 9:04

Well, first and foremost, voice memos on my iPhone. But what I have been just like recording it with, what I've done with the four songs that I've recorded. I have just gone straight into the studio Dunlap in Dunlap, Tennessee. And you know, I I started off doing a demo so we could just like me and my guitar, just so the next time we went into the studio, all the band members had something to play off, of course. I'm sure that's how all that process goes. But it's pretty much just straight into the studio.

Jay Franze 9:45

So go straight from your head to the studio.

SPEAKER_00 9:49

In between, we figure it out with how it's gonna sound, but that's awesome.

Jay Franze 9:54

So let's let's talk about that for a minute. So you talk about going in the studio. What size studio is this?

SPEAKER_00 10:01

Um, I feel like it's a medium-sized studio. Can I say that?

Jay Franze 10:05

Just right.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

Yeah, it's just right. Um, it's got a lot of uh, you know, instruments in there. There's a lot of chords on the floor you might be tripping over. But the the studio itself is is spacious and I I feel comfortable. It's it's actually really cool looking. I I I remember when I walked in there for the first time, there's like these cheetah print floors, and like, whoa. That's pretty cool.

Jay Franze 10:30

So it sets a vibe.

SPEAKER_00 10:32

Yeah, for sure.

Jay Franze 10:33

So that's cool. So you went in and you recorded these first four songs, this EP that you put together. You recorded it with family and friends. Can you kind of talk about the musicians that were involved?

SPEAKER_00 10:45

Oh, yes, gladly. So I will start off with my my uncle. His name is Spencer Lyman. He's kind of the reason that I'm sitting here talking to you right now. He's the connections through all that stuff. He is a genius, and he plays all the keys on my stuff, of course. He kind of brought the band together, all the all the band members. There's this bass player, his name is Trevor. He is just so good at what he does. He's a local bassist in Chattanooga. And uh, this drummer named Emily, she's my age. She's so good. She's kick-ass at these songs that we've been doing. And my dad, he plays lead guitar for me, and he's been playing guitar for a very long time. He played in a Bartley Norton while back ago when I was a child, and that's when I was watching him do what he wanted to do.

Jay Franze 11:44

Well, we talk about family and friends playing on your record. We have to be fair that your family and friends are of a high caliber and they play with some pretty amazing people. So it's not like you've got the average group of family and friends coming in to play on a finished record. We're talking about people who play with some pretty big artists, including John Snyder, Bo Duke. You're aware of this, and I'm sure everybody else is at this point, but I used to work for a gentleman named Bob Bullock who produced uh John Snyder's record. But your uncle has played with him as well.

SPEAKER_00 12:19

Sure has.

Jay Franze 12:20

Now you get these uh musicians, family and friends, you get the family and friends discount, they come in the studio with you. What's that experience like?

SPEAKER_00 12:30

It's a great experience. I I feel comfortable, I feel supported. I cannot express my thankfulness to them having this support and uh belief in me. It's a great experience. I I feel like I can um have cooler ideas and not feel very restricted by strangers sitting around me.

Jay Franze 12:55

Um I always say it's harder for me to perform in front of friends and family than it would be to perform in front of a group of strangers. Do you find the same?

SPEAKER_00 13:07

I find the same except for close family members. Mom, dad, sister. My close friends, I still feel nervous playing in front of. And they are they are very supportive too. They they come and see me when I have shows. But yeah, I I can I can feel that. I I'm more confident when there's when there's nobody that I know there. I've experienced that.

Jay Franze 13:33

So your uncle and your father, I have a feeling, you're probably pretty comfortable performing around at this point.

SPEAKER_00 13:39

Oh yeah. I've been doing it with them.

Jay Franze 13:42

Right. So you go in the studio. Do you guys lay down basic tracks as a band, or are you doing the tracks individually?

SPEAKER_00 13:50

Oh, we did it as a band. You know, I was locked in a room where nobody could see me. Lights out. Yeah, yeah. Pitch black dark. And they were all in a room together. And uh, there's a there's a video that my mom took actually, she stepped into the room and it's just silent, and everybody's just like banging their head, and you can just hear me singing by myself. Right. But yeah, we kind of just did it all together, and then you know, every now and then we would find a little spot and we'd be like, Oh, I want to redo that.

Jay Franze 14:20

But for the most part, you lay down the basic tracks, do a little bit of punching in here or there. Yeah, and then when everybody is said and done and potentially leave, you're left to then go ahead and do the vocals. So are you doing all of the vocals as well as the harmonies?

SPEAKER_00 14:38

Oh yeah. I am the only person singing on my four songs. I actually with the time that I had, which it took like a year and a half to get these songs done, just because of, you know, everybody's busy, all their schedules are not aligning with my schedules, it's totally fine. Um, but that gave me time to literally just put the song in garage band on my phone, no microphone, no headphones, just lay some harmony ideas down, and eventually I I I found some pretty good ad libs here and there, and I uh got pretty satisfied with it to the point where I basically just like copied and pasted all the harmonies into there. I just wanted to know what I was doing before I went before I had a session. Yeah, wanted to be extra prepared.

Jay Franze 15:33

So let's talk about that then. You go in the studio. Are you singing the song from beginning to end or are you singing it line by line?

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Uh beginning to end, except for the punching in here or there. Yes, yeah.

Jay Franze 15:47

Yeah, no, that's the way I would prefer to do it. By all means. Whenever I go in the studio with uh a vocalist, I always have them sing through two or three, maybe even four times, just to get comfortable to sing the song the way they would maybe when they're on stage, and then we'll go back and fix things or layer things. Because to me it sounds more natural. If you start off doing line by line by line, it gets there, but it doesn't feel natural to me.

SPEAKER_00 16:13

Right. I agree.

Jay Franze 16:14

So you guys go in there, you do this, you lay down your tracks. What's next?

SPEAKER_00 16:20

I guess uh after the harmonies I think that was the last thing that we did. It was the very last touch, other than my uncle who has access to all the songs, doing a little extra little. Yeah. Other than that, we just kinda brought it to be mixed.

Jay Franze 16:42

Alright,

Grammy Mixer Bob Bullock Moment

Jay Franze 16:43

let's let's talk about that for a minute because you chose a really piss-poor mix engineer. Can we talk about this? Who mixed your record?

SPEAKER_00 16:52

Oh, uh, I think that might be Bob Bullock.

Jay Franze 16:56

Bob Bullock. We say pretty piss poor, and he is, he's only won nine Grammys, so no. Like I mentioned, I've had the pleasure of working with Bob for several years, and he's one of the best mixed engineers in the world. So again, how did you hook up with one of the best mixed engineers in the world?

SPEAKER_00 17:15

Again, that is all my uncle. I actually don't know how he knows him. I assume it's it maybe is through John Snyder. But what he did was he, you know, messaged him and uh he didn't message back about it at first. And then he sent my song Good Girl to him, the way it was at the time. And then he messaged back and he was like, Oh yeah, I would, I would love to. I was like, well, it's a good sign.

Jay Franze 17:43

Yeah, so it was the music that turned him around.

SPEAKER_00 17:46

Yeah, I hope so.

Jay Franze 17:47

No, that's good. Bob, we're gonna need you to respond a little quicker in the future, okay? So that's cool. I mean, uh, I'm very familiar with how Bob mixes, but what did you think of the mixes that Bob was doing for you?

SPEAKER_00 17:59

Oh man, they sound so good. I didn't think they could get more band heavy in the way that I wanted it to, and just like a he just adds so much more of a punch to the song. And yeah, it sounds kick-ass. He just like brought it to the next level. It's amazing. I love it.

Jay Franze 18:15

Yeah, he is absolutely amazing. So he mixes songs. How much time did he spend mixing your songs?

SPEAKER_00 18:21

We sat in that room with him for I think two hours, maybe two or three hours at the very most.

Jay Franze 18:30

So two or three hours at the very most of him just getting a foundation for you. And then he continued after you left.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Yeah, he uh he continued doing things after he got the idea of what we wanted it to sound like. And he sent us some versions, and there were a couple things where it was like, oh, I kind of want that tiny little millisecond to change. And that's all the changes that I that I requested were just like tiny milliseconds that probably I would only notice. Right. But very particular, I guess, but hopefully a very easy change.

unknown 19:06

Yeah.

Jay Franze 19:06

Creative people are like that. We make little tweaks that nobody will ever notice. So Bob takes that time, you leave, he continues to work, he gets those songs ready for you, and then he finally presents them to you. So, what was the feeling that you felt when he gives you the song back for the first time and you get to hear it?

SPEAKER_00 19:26

Oh, I just sat in my car. I couldn't, I couldn't put my headphones on. I I I just went to my car and played it so many times. I want to envision what other people would hear for the first time. But yeah, it's it's I was amazed. I I just felt very very satisfied that my music had actually become something for once. It's been a very long time coming, and he just helped that process come to life, and I he did such a great job.

Jay Franze 20:02

So

Good Girl Release And Meaning

Jay Franze 20:03

we mentioned earlier that there is a single coming about. So September 1st is gonna be the release of your first single, and that single is Good Girl. So can you tell us the story behind Good Girl?

SPEAKER_00 20:16

Yeah, so this song is uh very sarcastic, and funny enough, it did not really start out like that. It kind of started off as this picturing this girl who just is so obsessed with being perceived by this person that she's not thinking about the way that they're treating her. And then I was like, wow, this sounds really wimpy. And then I uh the chorus comes and I was like, I'm gonna like mock this guy's like toxic expectations and uh just kind of have fun with it and make it a an FU song a little bit. And then it just became fun, you know. I showed it to my dad for the first time. I played it really quietly, and then we brought the band together to play it for the first time with other instruments, and I was like, wow, this sounds so much better that way.

Jay Franze 21:16

What's it feel like to know that you're gonna have a song out in the world?

SPEAKER_00 21:21

I feel relieved and uh impatient.

Jay Franze 21:28

Are you more excited for people to hear it in the streaming world, or are you excited to hear it on the radio?

SPEAKER_00 21:35

I mean, obviously both, but I am excited for people to hear it because now I can actually say yes to the question that people always ask me can I find you on Spotify? Yes, you can. For a very long time, I was just like, I'm working on it. I'm working on it. But yeah, I I'm I'm I'm so excited, so stoked to actually have something out there of mine, my creation, done.

Jay Franze 22:07

Well let let's be fair too. You're still fairly young. So I mean we talk about this being your your first single and your first EP, but you're in your early twenties. You've got a long, long way to go, and you've made it very, very far at this point. And I I would think that that has to feel good just by itself.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

It certainly does. I uh I feel like my hard work has paid off in a way. It's been basically ten years of me just doing what I love. And um yeah, it just feels like it feels like my hard work is paid off. And uh I get to show it to people.

Jay Franze 22:52

Alright. So you have a new photo shoot, you have new artwork, and now you have a new website.

SPEAKER_00 23:04

Yes. It's um it's starting to feel very official and uh I guess professional now. It's a professional, official thing that I've got going on for myself, and uh I I feel very proud that I can that I can say that I have those things going on for me. Uh very thankful because by myself I probably wouldn't have been here now. I would get there, but I've had some some moral support help and uh it's it's brought me a long way for sure.

Unsung Hero Dad Support

Jay Franze 23:44

Alright, well we do this thing here we call unsung heroes where we take a moment to shine light on somebody who's worked behind the scenes or somebody who may have supported you along the way. Do you have anybody that you would like to shine a little light on?

SPEAKER_00 23:57

Yeah. I mean, it's really somebody that I've that I've already mentioned. My dad is the number one supporter for my music because he knows what it's like. And he's the one person that I I send a song to when I finish, and I can't tell how it sounds because I've played it so many times. Like, is this good? And he's honest with me.

Jay Franze 24:22

There, like, I go back to the drawing board.

SPEAKER_00 24:25

Yeah. Even um a couple weeks ago, I showed him one really good song and one just okay song, and he was like, that was alright. I was like, you know what? I appreciate your honesty. But you know, he he obviously recognizes my my good work as well, and um he's he's very supportive. He is right here in the moment with me. He's very protective about music industry stuff. He's like, don't agree to everything. You know, it can be scary out there, of course, but he's he's he is the one person that I can I can turn to if anybody.

Jay Franze 25:03

Alright, my friend. We have done it. We have reached the top of the hour, which does mean we have reached the end of the show. So if you've enjoyed the show, please tell a friend. And if you have not, well, as we say, tell two. You can reach out to both of us tonight over at jfrenzy.com. We will keep this or any other conversation going for that matter. Ivy, my friend, I cannot thank you enough for being here. And I would like to leave the final words to you.

SPEAKER_00 25:27

Thank you so much for having me. Um, it's been an honor. I have enjoyed our conversation today. And go listen to my very first song that's on Spotify and everywhere else.

Jay Franze 25:41

Nice, and everywhere else.

SPEAKER_00 25:43

And everywhere else.

Jay Franze 25:44

All right, folks, on that note, have a good night.

Surprise Announcement Jay Manages Ivy

Jay Franze 25:49

All right, my friend. Thank you for sticking around and thank you for being here with me tonight. This has been very exciting. However, one thing we were unable to share during the live stream tonight, but we can share it now, is that we have made an important decision. What is that decision, my friend?

SPEAKER_00 26:05

Well, I am so extremely excited to announce that I'm gonna have Jay here by my side to manage me and give me the opportunities to do the big girl things I've been preparing for.

Jay Franze 26:18

Big girl things. I like that.

SPEAKER_00 26:20

Yes.

Jay Franze 26:21

So as we do this, we're starting to work on some things behind the scenes. One of those things is a website. So how does it feel for you to have your own website?

SPEAKER_00 26:29

Well, it makes me uh makes me feel like a big girl now. Since I officially have my own website, everybody in my life, everybody who is now going to hopefully appreciate what I have to offer, they can they can know all the news and the updates and future tour dates when that happens. I'm very excited when that does come. Now, now everything that's uh about me is gonna be on that one website.

Jay Franze 26:52

Which is awesome. Having all of that come together, your website, your artwork, your photos, that has to be a pretty good feeling.

SPEAKER_00 27:00

Yeah, I am super stoked. I have been officially writing music for a little over 10 years now, and it's I guess now taken me 10 years to put it out somewhere, and it it feels like it's well deserved and it's about time. But yeah, I'm super excited and I'm so I'm so excited to share with everybody what I have to offer.

Jay Franze 27:23

All right. Well, what does it mean to you to have somebody now officially in your corner working with you?

SPEAKER_00 27:29

Well, one thing that I'm really excited about working with you on the management side is, you know, I've always been writing music because I love it, but now I actually have someone so experienced like you in my corner. So you can open more doors that I probably wouldn't have access to my own, whether that's connecting with other artists, finding new opportunities, reaching maybe a bigger audience, and just helping me make better career decisions. I'm really excited to see where it will lead. And uh there's just a lot of doors that can be opened up with all of that.

Jay Franze 28:02

Nice, I like that. So, with all of those things, what is the one thing that you're most excited about?

SPEAKER_00 28:08

I'm excited about performing. I want to I want to have fun with it, and I want it to I want to keep doing that, and I want it to get bigger and bigger and and more fun, and I just want to keep making music.

Jay Franze 28:21

Are you excited that you can now talk about it?

SPEAKER_00 28:24

Yeah, yeah, I've been keeping my mouth shut, and I am a blabber, so I've been keeping my mouth shut, and I am proud of myself for that, because that's hard for me to do.

Jay Franze 28:37

All right. Well, we're gonna have to bring you back on periodically over the next year or so just uh get updates from me and see where you are and see if everything's going as planned. But before we do that, why don't you go ahead and give us a goal? So, where is it you hope to be one year from now?

SPEAKER_00 28:52

I hope to be opening for a stadium artist.

Jay Franze 28:58

Man, you got big dreams. I love it. You're making my job hard.

SPEAKER_00 29:04

Oh, yeah. We're gonna work on that together.

Jay Franze 29:09

On that note, since now I officially work for you, what's the first thing you're gonna make me do?

SPEAKER_00 29:16
