“Small steps. I’ve been trying to treat myself better. I like to do my make up in the morning. I repeat some affirmations. Something for me.”

Being home with two babies has been challenging and fun, while trying to carve out an identity for myself beyond it.

I love to take the time to blend harmonies and give them depth.

I ask myself am I a mother, a musician, a model again one day perhaps. The answer is simply yes. A woman is many complex things.

I am often asked what my aspirations for my music are. Do I want to fill big stadiums? Do I want to be a star? I just want to touch a few people’s hearts and show my daughters that they can follow their dreams.

I hope to help make a better world for my daughters; to help break down the divides that still very much exist.

My mental space is when I get to a place of creativity, and I can just be myself while I am writing and connecting with the material.

Making music is so much fun.

I am often asked how many instruments I can play. My main instrument is the piano – I spent time as a concert pianist.

Nothing is as glossy and perfect as it seems on social media.

“Small Voice” is a deeply personal song I wrote the lyrics and music for.

My father is a Baptist minister and my parents encouraged my music, always having me sing in front of an audience.

A proud moment was my very first hater telling me you’ve got a great voice, please stop waving your hands around.

Lately, since I can’t run, I’ve been getting back into yoga. Feels good to take a few moments of peace for myself in the day.

Promises were made and broken. Only you could keep me open.

Small voice gave me everything when I had nothing. Small voice, changed my life, It haunts me every night.

And at night I think about holding you close. I realize now you were the only thing I ever chose, and every night forevermore you’ll keep me up, and I still pray with everything that you’ll come back.
