Obviously I've always loved singing and performing, but I fell in love with songwriting and then I enjoyed doing that for other people and getting coached. But then I kind of stumbled into the right group of people that really started to create some unique music for me and what I wanted to say, so then it made me want to be an artist.

I burned my own damn finger pokin' someone else's fire

Really connecting with someone and maybe opening their mind a little bit, is such a cool thing to be able to do through music.

If you wanna find the honey / You can't be scared of the bees.

A lot of times, Im singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.

I'm really proud to be a woman representing country music.

Different people have different ways of doing things. For me, becoming a songwriter first and falling in love with the Nashville songwriting community and the process of songs and getting better and putting more in what I wanted to say, was absolutely vital in me even wanting to be an artist.
