Career

In 1994, Lindsey moved to Nashville to enroll in Belmont University's Music Business school. She tells the story of a roommate who had an internship at a record label and took one of her tapes into work with her. The tape was passed around to publishers, and Hillary was quickly signed to Famous Music Publishing. In her first year as a writer she had eight cuts. She had her first number one song as a writer in 2002 with Martina McBride's "Blessed". Six of her ten number ones as a writer are Carrie Underwood tracks including "Jesus Take The Wheel", "Wasted", "So Small", "Just A Dream", "Last Name", and "Two Black Cadillacs". Thirty million records have been sold featuring her compositions. Recently, Hillary has had two songs featured on the hit ABC smash television series Nashville: "Telescope" performed by Hayden Panettiere and "Change Your Mind" performed by Claire Bowen and Sam Palladio.
