= Holly Freeling = Holly Freeling (née Kuppinger) is an independent American singer/songwriter based out of Los Angeles, California.

Background
Inspired by human connection, imperfection, perseverance and diversity, Holly Freeling writes music and lyrics in her studio in Los Angeles, California, to instill a deeper understanding of life, social systems, and the universe around us. She taught herself to read music and play the flute at a young age. She embarked on her musical journey by performing with symphonic orchestras, wind ensembles, funk rock groups, and acid jazz bands. After two self-released albums, Freeling is anticipating the release of her third project while simultaneously leading an established career as an action-oriented psychotherapist.

Freeling’s personal hardships and background being a psychotherapist influence her art, exploring the exchange between the pseudo-self we present to the world, and the authentic self that hungers for expression and acceptance. Her songs combine artpop with avant-garde sensibilities and stories of perseverance to produce multilayered records that leave listeners inspired.

“Being a human is harder than most people let on,” says Freeling. “Music is the catalyst that can help us make sense of the emotional landscape that comes with being a sentient creature. I see the struggles of being human in my psychotherapy practice. Welcoming the wholeness of a person—in their raw, vulnerable and genuine states—can lead to greater understanding and empathy for others."

Her latest work has been a meaningful collaboration with fellow songwriter William Belote, mixed by George Landress and mastered by Mandy Parnell.
