Mar. 15, 2025

In her 2022 single “Babies,”Kasey Tyndallsang of her secret doubts that she would ever grow up to be a wife or mother. But little did she know that in the years that lied ahead of her following the writing of that endearing song, she would become both.

“It’s been the best time of my life,” Tyndall, 29, gushes during a recent interview with PEOPLE. “I’m my favorite version of myself so far.”

But yes, there was a time in the singer/songwriter’s life when marriage and motherhood seemed far down a somewhat mysterious road that didn’t come into clear view until the North Carolina native met Murfreesboro City firefighter Nate DeOrdio.

“I actually met him at a show, and we just became super close, super quick,” Tyndall remembers with a smile, noting that she and DeOrdio were married last February. “And then, we had Sterling.”

Sterling is the couple’s 16-month-old daughter, who not only changed the life of Tyndall, but also changed the music the accomplished singer/songwriter is now in the middle of creating. In fact, it was Sterling that Tyndall thought of while writing her latest heartbreakingly truthful single “Not as I’ve Done.”

“I think the song is just really about any parent’s advice to their kid,” says Tyndall of the fortelling song she wrote alongside Adam Wood and Justin Richards.  “It’s just as simple as that.”

Whatwasn’tas simple was trying to decide if Sterling would make an appearance in the music video for the new song. “I’ve been very hesitant about posting about Sterling and having her in videos just because the internet is the wild, wild West and it’s not always good,” Tyndall explains. “After talking it over with Nate, we just agreed that Sterling would look back on this and she would love it. I just knew she had to be in this.”

Tyndall was also extra thankful for her husband being on set for part of the day.

“It was so cute,” she raves. “He got off shift that morning and came straight to the video shoot, which was so sweet of him. And yeah, he definitely helped me keep Sterling distracted. He would hold her in between sets while they were touching up my makeup and stuff.”

Granted, Tyndall isn’t much of a makeup sort of girl. But she admits that it was nice to get pampered for a bit before the video shoot.

“It’s crazy working and being a mom so yeah, it was just a nice morning of eating breakfast and getting all done up,” says Tyndall, who is currently out on the road as an opener for fellow truth-tellerIan Munsick. “It felt so good.”

‘Good’ just might be an understatement as to how Tyndall is feeling right now, both personally and professionally. Instead, she would describe it as feeling “complete.”

“I didn’t even know I needed to be completed, but now that I am, everything has gotten better,” says Tyndall, who is now busy working on her forthcoming self-titled debut label release with MNRK Music Group. “I really can’t put it into words just how happy I am. I see the world in color and it’s amazing, and I’m excited to see how that bleeds into my music career. Someone once told me that babies bring blessings and that is so true.”
