In life we all go through different situations that cause you to reflect. I had the opportunity to be married to a wonderful person. And for some reason two good people couldn't make a good thing work. But in life, the one thing that I love about being an artist is that you can sometimes use the pain that you go through to make beautiful things.

I feel like I have been totally blessed with everything that I have done.

My mother always taught me, even my dad, just never let other people's opinions of you shape your opinion of yourself. And I never have and I never will.

I never knew that the things I wanted to do would come this fast, but this is the route that God took me, and so I'm excited.

And I just pray that god gives me longevity in the music industry.

So I've never in my whole life really been teased about my weight.

I'm not in the best shape, but I want to prove to myself I can do something that seems insurmountable and inspire others by showing them no matter where they are in their fitness goals, they can do it, too.
