Holly grew up in East Tennessee and began playing the piano very early, always watching her parents play and wanting to copy what she heard. She was three years old or so when she picked out her first tune by ear on the piano. Loathe to take lessons, she mainly taught herself by learning music by ear and arranging it however she liked on the piano until college, when she met Donald Brown at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Brown recognized Holly's inclination for the jazz idiom and immediately took her under his wing, which quickly resulted in Holly's firm decision to pursue a professional career as a jazz pianist. During her time at UT Knoxville, Holly also studied classical piano under the direction of world-renowned pianist and Sandra G. Powell Endowed Professor of Piano Dr. Chih-Long Hu, as well as music composition under the direction of award-winning new music composer Dr. Andrew Sigler.
