I didn't grow up in one place, so I never had a certain mentality. I have some aspects of growing up in Texas, but I also have a lot of East Coast family. I would have loved to grow up on the East Coast.

It's really special to be a part of something that's really changing lives.

Have an anchor so that life doesn't toss you around.

I definitely believe in the power of education. I believe the more people know, the more they are able to do what they can.

I wouldn't do the music thing if it weren't for my brother, who's a producer. He understands me and helps my vision come to life.

Somewhere in the midst of smudgy maps, following waters, surviving the storms, & deep, deep digging.. treasure is found.

I was raised to volunteer: nursing homes, clinics, church nurseries, school, everywhere that could use help. It's such an intrinsic part of me, to use my life to help improve the quality of others.
