I focused more on sharing my gift and performing than worrying about it being a competition.

I think my songwriting has developed over the years. As I get older, I have become less afraid to share real experiences.

I focused more on sharing my gift and performing than worrying about it being a competition.

If I can help encourage or inspire someone out there who is struggling with some of the same or similar issues as myself, then I think it's worth talking about.

I was so fortunate to sing and work with so many amazing performers and artists.

My songs always tend to have a good element to the story. That is who I am - an optimistic person.

There's so much good you can do with your voice - always remember that.
