1. For many artists, they cite a defining moment for themselves when they knew they wanted to be a singer. For many it was the appearance of Elvis on the Ed Sullivan show, to another generation it was the Beatles’ appearance on Sullivan half a decade later. Is there such a defining moment for you?
There was Definitely that "Defining Moment" for me, when I knew I had wanted to be a Singer. When i was 8 years old, my family and I went on a Vacation to DollyWood in
Pigeon Forge, TN. I saw Dolly Parton perform live with the band on stage for the first time. I've always been an "open book." The person that expresses their Feelings and Emotions. As soon as I saw those feelings being portrayed into a song on stage, I was Hooked. I went straight home, started playing guitar, writing songs, and haven't put it down since!
2. When you’re not creating music what are you listening to? Who are some of your favorites?
My biggest musical influences are Sheryl Crow, The Beatles, and John Denver. They "stood out" to me for some reason. I love the fact they wrote their own music, and were always "different" than everybody else. I have lots more, but those were the Few that First came to mind! :)
3. What would you say is your greatest moment so far as an artist, either on record or live?
The Greatest Moment i have has as performer would have to be when I performed at my Mother's Pancreatic Cancer Benefit. My mom passed away 2 years ago when i was 17, and we had this huge Benefit For her, and knowing how Proud I made her, and relaxed while listening to me sing, made me the happiest girl in the world. Not just for that day, but until the Day i am able to go join her in heaven.
RIP mom. I love you!
4. Do you believe music can change the world or is just something to listen to? How much can music influence current events?
Music Can, and already has changed the world because it changes people. Music Saves People.. Wether it's in Church, or Helping people out with certain break-up situations, or helping people dealing with the loss of a loved one. It heals the Soul, and Comforts. Everything revolves around music! It's so powerful, and that's why I love it so much!
5. How has technology affected the music industry? How has technology affected your career as a musician?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE technology! Technology is what made my career really pick up and able to get my music out there. Thanks to Myspace, Thanks to Sites like "VOICES TO HEAR", allows us artists to really connect and relate to our Listeners! Thank you!
6. Now for my Barbara Walters question: If you were a pair of shoes what type of shoes would you be?
Haha, i would be a pair of Cowgirl boots because they are perfect for every occasion, wether it's riding horses, or performing on Stage. Can never go wrong with Cowgirl Boots!!
