In the days after her death, Ryan Williams, a close friend of the singer-songwriter, opened up to Fox News about her tragic past.
Williams, from Seattle, Wash., Said he met Groves in 2011, just a week after moving to Los Angeles, California, and was signed to a major record label. He said Groves had an infectious personality and the ability to light up any room.
“I was always worried about Cady. She was like another young sister to me,” Williams said. “It goes hand in hand with her creativity. Whatever she felt, whether it was pleasant or the opposite, it just completely emotionally drove her away, which provided wonderful art, but it took a toll on her name.”
Williams brought Groves back from a “tragic family past.” Two of her brothers died, one of whom Groves was close to in old age. The singer-songwriter found healing in her music, but it eliminated the traumas she faced.

“Her father was not really around anymore and music was also very difficult for her,” Williams said. “She had so many tragic things happen to her in her life. There was always someone’s birthday that didn’t run anymore, like her brothers. There was always like a dark shadow around her.”
The friend said Groves found healing through her music.
“She had a vision. She was constantly going back and forth with the label and her management because she wanted to get things right. She really cared,” he shared.
