Growing up I played piano and I sang at a lot of weddings; I grew up in a very small town, a little coal-mining town in Virginia called Grundy. And my family was very sing-songy at home.

I grew up singing. My mother was a music teacher.

I really like singing, but coming from a small town like where I grew up, how do you start that journey?

I started singing in church and I was probably around seven and I started singing anywhere that I could. I used to sing at my school. I was in musicals and then it kind of got to a point where I started to - wanted to do my own songs.

Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.

I performed and sang at school but as a child it was never anything I was interested in doing professionally.

I was in a music class when I was little, and they discovered I had a talent and could sing. From there, I joined this singing troupe in California, and I would just go sing at festivals in this girl group and perform as much as I could.

I've always been interested in singing, and I've always been singing and dancing since I was little.

It never dawned on me at any particular time of my life that people are paid tremendous money to sing.
