What projects are you currently working on?
I am currently in an Artist Development Program with Ivy Manor in Muscle Shoals. This program will end with over fifty written songs, around 15 demos, and one completely produced track. Specifically I am writing song after song searching for my new hit!
What inspired you to pursue a music career and when?
My dad is a musician. Ever since I was little my dad had me sing song after song and I adored it. I would close my eyes and imagine myself on stage. I knew that I could be a star just like Taylor Swift and Barbara Streisand.
If you weren’t pursuing a career in music, what would you be doing?
I would be training a little more intensely for Auburn Cheerleading Tryouts. I would also hopefully have a new puppy that I could train to go to college with me.
What is your favorite downtime activity?
I love to read and watch Hulu shows. I have read 13 of Lurlene McDaniel books alone. She is my favorite author, but don’t read one of her books unless you are ready to cry!
