Career

Mae received her first attention as a singer in 2009 for her cover of the Bob Dylan song Forever Young , which was featured on the soundtrack of the television program Sons of Anarchy . Her debut album The Happiest Lamb was released in 2010. Mae had previously appeared as a songwriter with a composition for Susan Boyle's successful first record ( Who I Was Born to Be , 2009).

On May 6, 2015 Avicii released the song Feeling Good , a cover of the jazz classic of the same name by Nina Simone . Again Audra Mae contributed the vocals without naming them.
