Hutchey grew up shyly in southeastern Connecticut, making friends with adults at the church where she'd get her start musically, speaking to the woods and listening to John Denver. Her minor inspirations toward singing were hymns and movie soundtracks. Then she fell in love with The Beatles and realized she was meant to make music like they did.
In her young teens, Hutchey was briefly mentored in songwrting and singing by Bill Pere and Kay Pere and played guitar and bass in a Harry Chapin tribute ensemble dedicated to hunger relief. Songwriter Steve Gillette said of her song "The Rocking Horse's Dream" in a workshop in 2005, "I can tell that you will do some significant work and other people will want to sing your songs."
Hutchey was featured live three times on WCNI New London's "Rodeo Joe and the Rock 'n' Roll Roundup" since age 18. In 2009 she added her ears to the editing of the feature-length Civil War documentary "Love & Valor."
