As a singer, I just want to try to honor what the writers create - and as someone who's trying to write songs, I just hope I can stand in their company and not embarrass myself.

I think anytime you get nominated for an award, its a very humbling thing.

I'm a worrywart, so I'm always a bit more stressed out than I should be or wish I was.

I really like singing, but coming from a small town like where I grew up, how do you start that journey?

I think every singer hears songs that make you want to sing them.

As awesome as it is to be with a big act and get three catered meals a day and get a dressing room with an actual shower in it, it's hard sometimes as a new artist to come across in 25 minutes. You get 25 minutes to hopefully impress these people. I think the longer set is more suitable for us and gives us an opportunity to connect better.

I have learned from Twitter that you get that instant feedback about what people think about what you did.
