My parents gave me stability and a belief in myself and in all the possibilities life has to offer. I was told the only limitations I would ever face were those I placed upon myself.

I was born into a family of gospel singers. My early ambitions were many. I was going to be a ballerina. I almost had that one come true until I tore a tendon, so I transferred from my toes to my throat and that's where the talent settled.

I'm not psychic myself.

I come from a singing family and as is said, 'the apple does not fall far from the tree.'

Country music is so related to gospel. It seems I could go down that road pretty easily.

Do you know that other than my father, I've never had a man take care of me?

I am a combination of my entire family.
