She made it to the Top 20 on Season 13 of “The Voice” and had a stint on “American Idol” last year. A singer, songwriter, guitar player who is just releasing a new single, she put out three new songs last year and has more new music planned for 2020. She has opened for Joan Jett, among others, and was also chosen to perform at the Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California.
"I was happy with a lot of the stuff that I was writing, but I still wanted to -- while I was growing my own songwriting and my own craft -- I wanted to work with other people that, you know, working with other people also helps you grow as an individual with songwriting."
"(co-writing) is just another person to help you grow, help you get out there, more contacts, more opportunities, and, a lot of the time, just a better song."
"Music has always been a part of me, in my soul, in my blood, just flows through me."
"At the end of the day, it's one thing to be able to play an instrument. Yes, I can play drums. I can write a song and put drum parts in it. But I think it's great to have an actual drummer come in and put their spin on something."
"I could've never imagined that this would be me at 19 years old when I was ten, just starting vocal lessons."
"I think that who you're surrounded with is a big factor... I come from a very, very humble family... It just never occurred to me to have a big ego."
"I never thought of myself as better than anyone. I never thought of myself as superior. I never thought of myself as untouchable. I still don't."
"If people have a huge ego, it's just false, because you're not better than anyone, you're not. You're just you."
"The Voice was an incredible experience. It was life-changing. It kickstarted my career."
"I think a lot of people think it's easy to be on a reality TV show just 'cause you're being yourself. It's not like you have to play a part or a role, but in a way you kinda do."
"There were days where I woke up staggering around my room, about to throw up because of how nervous I was... I was so nervous it was physically taxing on my body."
"If I took away anything from American Idol it would just be the strength and endurance that I built from there, but, I wouldn't go on those shows again."
"The other thing about reality TV is, the exposure is great, but it's just not about you. A lot of people think that it's about the contestants on reality TV shows nowadays and it's just not at all, actually. Like, the contestants are almost like a distraction."
"I Hate"
