Holly was a talented singer/songwriter who packed up her guitar in 1996 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. She received attention from various artist and representation agents, recorded an E.P., and appeared on nationally televised programs. In 1997, Holy appeared in a Rolling Stone Magazine-produced documentary that featured international songwriters and artists.
