It wasn’t just my parents.
I’m really purposeful.
“That was actually from my mom.
And because of that, I was able to actually sing before I even started talking.
So I was singing and humming.
And so when people ask me, ‘How long have you been singing?’
And I tell them ‘my whole life,’ I genuinely mean my whole life.
I’ve always sang.
I’ve been listening to music my whole life.”

“They put me in piano when I was 8-years-old.
And it’s funny because I definitely did not like it at first.
I did not want to play.
They played the Chicks and Gretchen Wilson and DMX and Prince and Led Zeppelin.
And that’s what shaped me as an artist.
I give them all the credit.”
“Nobody can beat my nana’s cooking, I’m convinced.
My nana, she’s a minister.
Growing up she made some pound cake.
“By next year I would love to be able to perform at award shows.
I just want to have a song that can resonate with people.
I want to create a song that can outlive me.
And so that is really my goal.
That’s really what I want.
So that’s what I hope to create in this next year.”
