Along with many other talents, Mysti became a regular on Prime Time Country, CMT Most Wanted Live, and with her sister; were picked for a new DUO by the creators of American Idol for the country version of ‘Can You Duet’. Shortly after filming, both Mysti and her sister decided that they weren’t interested in being molded into the cookie cutter sound of every other artist and duo. “We just wanted to be ourselves”. After fifteen years of pounding the pavement and working toward that ‘big’ record deal, at the end of the day she was happy just making good music and continuing to write.

Mysti has had the pleasure of writing with such talents as Rob Hatch (Lee Brice-I don’t Dance) and nay others as well as Simon Finley (Echo & The Bunnymen) for three songs on the soundtrack for Cypress Bayou and many more. Mysti studied at the Actors School in Nashville and work with many production companies, audition and theatre houses and landed a role in a video or two along the way. Mysti also stars in the Supernatural Television Series Trailer along with actors from the CW Network and even had the privilege of being Directed by Finola Hughes; who most would know as Anna Devane on General Hospital.
