For singer-songwriter Bella Canzano, singing was a part of her life from her very first baby coo.

Her father played a huge role in forming her love of music. Under his encouragement, she learned to play the piano and later the guitar, and she would play gigs with him. As a young teenager, she began to write her own music as a way to work through life’s challenges.
