“I think that I know in my heart that I am making music that I would bet my life on.”
“Just because you break a heart doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt you.”
“I grew up loving country music from a young age and wanted to sing more than I wanted to sit in school.”
“I consider myself primarily a songwriter first, so the goal is to write songs that might be personal, but that people can translate into their own particular life.”
“After spending my pre-teen years as the singer in a bluegrass band, I convinced my parents to let me drop out of high school and start homeschool, so I could take a job singing in the country show at Dolly Parton's theme park, Dollywood.”
“I've not had it easy in the past - there have been developmental record deals fall through, and I had a lot of really different scenarios and really had to understand what it means to be a business person and to find your identity as an artist.”
“I think for me, I've learned how strong I am.”
“It's so easy to look at artists, like myself or whoever, and think their lives are perfect. That's just not a reality for any of us.”
“When you love somebody, you trust them.”
“I actually grew up singing bluegrass gospel.”
“Nobody wants to talk about divorce, especially as a woman under 30.”
“I wrote a song about a guy who broke my heart, and it changed my whole world.”
“You never really know when you're going a hundred miles a minute what you're doing to your body.”
“It's my lifelong dream to be able to do what I'm doing. So it feels unbelievable to be even considered one of the women in country.”
“I try to eat organically.”
“You live such a weird life while you're out on the tour. You're in a van or an airplane more than you are anything else.”
“I loved all kinds of Bluegrass music. Sonya Isaacs was a big influence; she's a Bluegrass Gospel singer, but she's also done a lot in the Country world just from backup and songwriter and as an artist. Also, the Dixie Chicks were a big influence. Just all of those 90s and early 2000s Country voices.”
“I have a tattoo on my wrist... and it says, 'She believed she could, so she did.'”
“I wish that more women would be vulnerable with other women because none of us on this side of Heaven will ever reach perfection. I think that needs to be normalized.”
“I went through a public divorce and wrote a project called '29' that really just is all about speaking your truth and owning the fact that we all go through things in life and it's all about what comes out of them.”
