Q: How did you get your start in music? -

I really got into music when I was quite young. My mom said I was always singing. I'd figured it out quite young. Actually my parents got divorced when I was around six, and music became a beautiful outlet for me to just kind of find safety, if that makes sense. I felt like the most wonderful place is to sit in my room and actually sing Mariah Carey songs. Music Box was my favorite album, and I would put it on repeat and sing it. Shania Twain came out, I think it was maybe 2014, and that's when I found the connection of what I wanted to do. There was something about seeing Shania Twain, seeing the video, and this female empowerment of country music. I just fell in love with it, and that's how I got started with loving country music. And that's where the idea was born to move to Nashville, which I did a few years later.
