Set in New York City, Little Voice is a love letter to the diverse musicality found there. It’s a story about finding your true voice and having the courage to use it.

Grammy-winner Bareilles who also wrote songs for the Tony-nominated musical Waitress will pen more original tunes for the series. The show’s title is a nod to her 2007 album which included tracks such as “Love Song” and “Gravity.”

Little Voice is produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Abrams, Jessie Nelson and Ben Stephenson all serve as executive producers alongside Bareilles. The first episode is directed and written by Nelson.
