You know, being able to, in my mind, have a song that you know doesn't really have any loose ends or you know, extra fat in it, so to speak.

It seemed at first that everybody was more concerned with my age.

It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.

I've been getting into different gospel artists; Aretha Franklin is someone I've been listening to a lot of.

My dad used to play drums in a country band, and my mom is an incredible singer.

I'm glad I've learned what I've learned when I learned it.

And as I got older and played more, people began to forget about my age and took the music more seriously.
