Matraca Berg didn’t have to leave her hometown of Nashville to become a songwriting success. Matraca has, no doubt, inherited her outstanding talent. Her mother Icie Berg (real name) was a songwriter, song plugger, and backup singer who

worked at Four Star here in Nashville, and her step father is Dave Kirby, one of Music City’s most successful writers. Matraca began writing professionally at the ripe old age of 17I A year later, she was signed with Tree Publishing. She co-

wrote a #1 hit, "Fakin’ Love", recorded by T.G. Sheppard and Karen Brooks. It went to the top of the charts in 1M4. Since then, there has been no stopping Matraca’s success. She stayed with Tree for one year. After that she was doing single song agreements with publishers until about 2 years ago, when she signed with Wamer-Chappell. "I’m very happy to be

there," says Matraca. "It’s my home!" Now, doing a great deal of co-writing with Ronnie Samoset and working closely with Pat Higdon, she continues to write super hits while pursuing her own recording deeil as an artist.
