Hi, my name is Cloey Tierno, and I’m an 18 year old singer/songwriter from Cortland, NY. I’ve always loved singing and writing songs. I had my first opportunity to get into the studio at 15 years old, where I would begin implementing production into my songs for the very first time alongside Chris Merkley and Gabe Cummins. About a year later I had a finished product– my debut album, “i fell in love with the rain.” I was met with an unexpected surprise when I walked away from the 2023 SAMMYS with the award for Best Pop Recording, and I still couldn’t be more excited about or grateful for the whole experience. I strive to write songs that tell an authentic and relatable story, and ultimately make them into something that I can be proud of and others can connect with. I plan to move forward with the making of my second album this winter. This was only made possible by my generous supporters within the community that helped me to achieve a successful Kickstarter campaign that was launched for the project this past November.
