Born in Opp and raised in Enterprise, Balloons de Feline brings a gritty Southern heartbeat to modern storytelling. A lifelong creative, she has lived her art onstage and behind the scenes — from fronting bands to working as a stagehand, lighting tech, and machine operator for touring acts, union halls, and major music festivals across the country.
Her writing blends raw emotion, musical pulse, and fiercely human honesty — exploring love, identity, ambition, and the beautiful chaos of life lived loud. With roots in rock-and-roll culture and a soul wired for storytelling, she creates immersive fiction that feels like a live show in book form: electric, vulnerable, and unforgettable.
When she isn’t writing or building stages, you can find her raising creative kids, chasing sunsets, dreaming bigger than is reasonable, and living for the next spark of inspiration.
