Cady Groves (July 30, 1989 โ€“ May 2, 2020) was an American singer and songwriter from Marlow, Oklahoma. Some of her notable songs include "This Little Girl", "Oh Darlin'", "Forget You", and "Love Actually". She released four EPs: A Month of Sundays (2009), This Little Girl (2010), Life of a Pirate (2012), and Dreams (2015). Her final effort released during her lifetime, "Dreams", was released in 2015 for free download in honor of her fans. 2๏ธโƒฃ โฌ‡๏ธ

Groves was inspired to follow her dreams after the death of her brother, and she began focusing on her songwriting, initially intending to present her work to other artists to record. But when a session vocalist failed to show up after Groves booked time to record demos of her latest batch of songs, Groves sang them herself with the encouragement of the engineers on the session, and the material grew into Groves' first independent EP, 2009's A Month of Sundays. 3๏ธโƒฃ โฌ‡๏ธ

Another EP, The Life of a Pirate, followed in 2010, and as her social media pages began attracting impressive traffic, several major record labels began bidding for her services. In 2010, Groves signed with RCA, and set out on her first nationwide concert tour, opening a package show that featured Third Eye Blind, Good Charlotte, and All Time Low. Groves eventually left RCA and signed with New York-based independent label Vel Records, 4๏ธโƒฃ โฌ‡๏ธ

where the focus shifted to writing music she was truly passionate about. In May 2015, Groves returned with a new self-released single and video for the song "Crying Game", a dark, personal song inspired by her tumultuous childhood and strained family relationships. Groves released her Vel Records debut EP Dreams for free download in October 2015, 5๏ธโƒฃ โฌ‡๏ธ

which Groves told PopCrush.com "is a testament to the support of her listeners, whose encouragement has been a driving force behind the EPโ€™s development." Dreams has been downloaded over 100,000 times via SoundCloud, and a music video for the title track premiered at FUSE.tv in October 2015, and also saw success at CMT and MTV. Shortly after, Groves embarked on a 30-market High School Nation Tour, where she performed for over 50,000 high school students. 6๏ธโƒฃ โฌ‡๏ธ

RCA paired Groves with several producers and songwriters (including Savan Kotecha, Carl Falk and Kristian Lundin) as she began work on her first major-label album. She also collaborated with Stephen Jerzak on "Better Than Better Could Ever Be" and made with Plug in Stereo on "Oh Darling". The song "Oh Darling" spent five weeks on the Billboard Rock Digital Songs Chart and peaked at #36. 7๏ธโƒฃโฌ‡๏ธ

In 2011, Groves was featured on the single "You and I" by Secondhand Serenade and "All That I Need Is You" by Andrew de Torres. In 2015, a collaboration with Christian Burghardt took place, which led to the track "Whiskey and Wine." Groves mentioned on multiple occasions that she had a very rough childhood. Groves' brother Casey Groves died on October 23, 2007, at the age of 28. Cady cited his influence as the reason she was able to gain the courage to be a singer-songwriter. 8๏ธโƒฃ โฌ‡๏ธ

Her brother Kelly Groves died on March 23, 2014, also 28 years old. In August 2014, Groves released a song she wrote about Kelly. She entitled it "Bring Back the Sun" inspired by Our Lady Peace. She wrote this along with the song release: Groves died on May 2, 2020 at the age of 30. Her brother Cody stated that her death was due to unspecified "natural causes," and that both self-harm and foul play were ruled out.
