I’m not an R&B singer, I’m a singer. I can sing any music that makes me feel inspired whether it’s Country, a little bit of Rock and roll but within my roots as well.
The extra opinions and the extra praise is just a bonus, it’s not the main thing. The main thing is how I feel about myself. And I feel really good about myself.
It’d be negligent to say that I don’t want to be at the top of the charts. Of course I do, it’s proof that your song is being heard. But I think it’s more about the work for me and being proud of what I’m doing in music than what people think about my music.
My daughter hasn’t seen me with anybody in five years. I’m very, very selective when it comes to that because I want to make sure that it’s real. I don’t want her to see me with just anybody because she means everything to me.
The idea of kids helping other kids is such a great way to introduce children to being involved in charitable causes and volunteer work, setting them on the path to doing good for others throughout their lives.
To be on this set today, I feel very blessed for the second chance and for the opportunity, my record company believing in me and everybody here just showing me so much love and support.
My daughter, I can’t give up because she’s watching and she’s here and she’s waiting for me to be an example. So, between her, myself, and my will, and me pushing myself, that’s my inspiration.
