What project(s) are you currently working on?
I am currently working on promoting my song, “Click,” which is my new pop-country single! I’m putting my heart and soul into this song; I believe in it so much.
What inspired you to pursue a career in music and when did you know?
I was always drawn to music since I was little. The moment that truly sealed the deal for me was when I performed at my 5th grade talent show. I sang “Somebody To Love” by Queen, and I absolutely fell in love with performing. I just remember feeling like I had never felt so happy and I wanted to do it for the rest of my life. 🙂
If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing for a living?
I’d definitely be a hobo, haha. I don’t have a back-up plan. When you have a back-up plan, you’re much more likely to give up on your dream. When it’s just you and your dream, you work so much harder for it because it is all you’ve got.
What is your favorite downtime activity?
I don’t know if you’d count songwriting, because it aids in my career, haha, but when all the business work is done, I naturally pick up my guitar and write! Besides that, I LOVE reading. I was told that to become a better songwriter, you should read books as often as possible. It has so many benefits. It strengthens your vocabulary and your knowledge. It improves comprehension, brain connectivity, and so much more. So while I love reading in general, I don’t feel guilty doing it since it does in turn help my career, haha. 🙂
Who is your biggest celebrity crush?
Oh gosh, I’d 100% say Keanu Reeves. Just don’t tell my boyfriend, lol. Just kidding, he definitely knows that already, haha!
Who is your favorite sports team(s)?
I’ve always loved hockey. I’d say the Sabres since I’m from Buffalo, but I love the Predators so much, too!
What is the last movie that you watched?
I almost never watch TV. I’m really weird, lol. I sometimes get too antsy while watching a movie and start thinking of things I should be doing instead, haha. I think it was either “Sinister” or “Moana.”
What is the last album you listened to?
My insanely talented friend, Whitney Lusk, just released her new album called Anthems of My Life, so I’ve been listening to that a lot. 🙂
If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Oh shiz, this is such an unfair question!!! Haha! I feel as though any Taylor Swift album is always a good go-to. In any of her albums, she goes through so many different emotions, so I think I’d have enough songs to relate to when I’d need them, lol!
What is the greatest country song of all time?
Man, these questions… I don’t think you understand what you’re doing to me, hahaha. I’m going with Tim McGraw‘s “Live Like You Were Dying.” It is such a classic that will last forever. The meaning behind it is so powerful and inspirational. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t know that song. I’m definitely going to think of other ones within the hour and be like, “Dang, I want to say that one, too!” But I do think this is an incredible song that will be remembered for a very long time
What has been your favorite city/town that you’ve visited out on the road?
Oh gosh, they’re all so amazing in their own ways. Each city holds a special place in my heart. I’m going to say my hometown of Buffalo, NY. When I play there, I get to see my family and loved ones. Some that I haven’t seen in a long while. I love that when I finally go back home and do a show there, it brings so many people together. I love that I have the ability to do that for them. 🙂
What is your favorite meal?
PIZZA! All the way, pizza. It makes me so happy!
Who is your dream duet partner?
Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra. Sadly, both have passed away already. Maybe Paul McCartney because we have the same birthday, and I can’t wait to meet him one day and tell him that, lol.
Who would you like to go on tour with?
Anyone! Get me out in the world to perform in front of people and I’m happy. I would love to tour with anyone willing to bring me on tour with them.
What is your ultimate career goal(s)?
I want to do whatever it takes to be able to inspire millions of people. I want to sell out stadiums, and change people’s lives. I want to be able to spread love and happiness to everyone who needs it with my music. I want to be able to make other people’s lives better; that’s what would make me feel whole. <3
