In her mid-teens, Spalding started writing lyrics to music for Noise for Pretend, a local indie pop/ rock group. Although she had attended some singing lessons, which taught her to protect her voice, she learnt more musically from local musicians who invited her to play with them.

She was largely home-schooled because of illnesses, but gained her GED and enrolled at Portland State University on a music scholarship, struggling financially, but then was good enough to get a scholarship at Berklee College of Music, and another from Boston Jazz Society. Her talent can be recognised by the fact that she was hired by Berklee straight after graduation, at aged 20 the youngest instructor.
