Road to Super Bowl LIII: Catching up with Brookfield East grad Nora Collins

 

NASHVILLE, Ten. (CBS 58) -- We're on the road to Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta.

CBS 58's Mike Curkov found a couple of famous Wisconsin connections in Nashville.

2012 Brookfield East grad Nora Collins is one of them. She's working as a singer-songwriter.

"As an artist, I think I'm still on that journey of figuring out what exactly I want to say. But I know that I want my music to positively impact people," said Collins. 

Nora took a big step towards that goal with the top song of her new EP, Plain Jane.

"I really just didn't feel good enough, I didn't feel like I was unique enough as an artist or that I was pretty enough. When I was driving into my write that morning, I was just kind of talking to myself. I said, I feel really plain. I'm just a plain jane."

Nora moved away from Wisconsin three years ago. She misses her friends and family but loves it in Nashville. 

"I mean it's Music City so it's an exciting place to live."

She knows what she does not miss about home though.

"I don't miss that cold weather." 

Maybe some day Nora will perform at the Super Bowl like Maroon 5 will do Sunday in Atlanta.
