You've arrived for all things Nancy Deckant!
Hi! I'm a Nashville-based singer/songwriter, author, artist, creative mentor.
Not Alone
Not Alone:
When You Stop Leaving Yourself, Belonging Begins
For most of my life, what looked like independence was actually a quiet form of self-abandonment. Not Alone is the story of what changed when I learned how to stay with myself — especially when things felt uncertain, uncomfortable, or unfinished.
This book is for anyone who has ever over-functioned, hoped too hard, or shaped themselves around someone else in order to feel safe. Belonging begins within.
Coming March/April 2026

My Music Story
"Music has been the longest thread of my creative life."
I’ve written alongside veteran hit writers, rising artists, and young prodigies just discovering their voice. The common thread is always the same: emotional truth.
- Some songs are meant for the stage.
- Some are meant for the church.
- Some are meant for the kitchen table with a friend who needs to hear they’re not alone.

My Art Story
"After getting laid off from my day job in 2008, I began my journey as a creative. I'm grateful for that turning point."
I spent 15 years in Pittsburgh as both an artist and an art instructor before moving to Nashville in 2013. These days, I'm a member of the Tennessee Watercolor Society. Formerly I was a part of the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society and the Pittsburgh Society of Artists.
Over the years, I've held independent art workshops and taught watercolor at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and the Community College of Allegheny County from 2009 to 2014. Since moving to Nashville, I've thrown myself into songwriting and music. But lately, I've found my way back to art, just for the fun of it!
