When I'm singing, it's like I'm at home. And music is a great healer. I think I'd have been a basket case if I hadn't been a singer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I consider myself as a singer first, but something that really helped me come into my own is that there's not a separation between me singing and me playing the guitar. The two fed off the other.
Singing really is acting. In a lot of ways, it's much more personal. I love music, and being able to work on that is amazing.
I get to focus on being a musician sometimes, and I get to focus on being a vocalist sometimes.
If I hadn't been a singer, I might have been a photographer or an artist. But it's singing I love. I sing all the time, and I feel really good that I've expressed myself.
Being a singer is a natural gift. It means I'm using to the highest degree possible the gift that God gave me to use. I'm happy with that.
A lot of the way I sing is playing off other musicians. It's what I love to do the most.
I definitely don't see myself as much of a singer, because my upbringing is really based around the guitar, learning chord progressions and that sort of thing. So the singing aspect of what I do has been a secondary adventure.
I never really thought I was going to be a singer, honestly. I never listened to singers; I always listened to rap music.
I always thought I was a singer, but I really am not.
So don't think in reality I am a singer, I think I am a human being that has sung always all her life, and has learned a little to sing, and has found herself in the middle of a career.
