Starley was just days away from enrolling in a class to become a personal trainer before she wrote "Call on Me" and re-dedicated her life to music.
After years of writing songs for other artists, she tells 103.5 KTU's Lulu Y Lala backstage at #KTUphoria she became disenchanted with music and being away from home.
"As I was doing that I was kind of having a talk with myself, âI canât believe Iâm doing thisâĻchanging my career,'" she says.
After getting cold feet about heading into the fitness world, Starley sat down on the piano and began to play.
"I was writing on keys, thatâs where I get out my emotion," she says. "And thatâs when I wrote âCall on Me.â"
After that she knew music was what she was going to keep doing, but as an artist in her own right.
She still has trouble being away from home, but now she knows she's doing what she's meant to do.
"I havenât seen my family in a long time, but Iâll go back and see them for Christmas," she says. "Iâm out here living my purpose."
