«Thank U, Next» and «7 Rings» are undeniable jams, but what you may not know is that they wouldn’t exist without the help of Ariana Grande’s songwriter Tayla Parx. Yes, Grande’s music is deeply personal, but she didn’t create it alone. Parx is a co-writer on both «Thank U, Next» and «7 Rings» — she also happens to be one of the real recipients of the seven rings Grande gave to her BFFs. Additionally, she’s written music for artists and bands like Janelle Monáe, Fifth Harmony, Demi Lovato, and Christina Aguilera. She’s played a role in an astonishing number of hit songs since she became a professional songwriter in 2014, but in truth, the singer/actor/songwriter is just getting started.
In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Parx discussed how her career has evolved from child actor to Grammy-nominated songwriter in just a little over a decade, as well as what’s next for the talented 25-year-old.
