I grew up singing in Kansas. My dad had a band when I was growing up. So I sang in church and school and started singing with his band when I was seven. So I've been singing all my life.

I am happy that women can relate to my songs, and hopefully men can too.

I love producing! It's so much fun to start with a blank canvas and create the picture you want to create and see it all come together.

I really just tried to make a record full of great songs, which is the goal I always have.

Having three daughters, it is important for me to set a good example and teach them to make decisions that are healthy for your heart no matter what age you are.

What I do to take care of my heart is exercise and try to eat healthy.

Everything is moderation, really. I don't really deprive myself of anything. But I try to balance it with healthy food choices. I am not real fond of exercise, so I try to get away with as little as possible which is about thirty minutes three times a week and I do a little weight training and cardio.
