It's the music. Your heart is in your ears.

As long as my music is real, it's no limit to how many ears I can grab.

Sometimes with pop music, you have to see it to love it. With soul music, it's sparse. There's nothing that's pretentious or planned. It's just so gutsy.

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all the emotions of fear and confusion relating to my family.

For me, genres are a way for people to easily categorize music. But it doesn't have to define you. It doesn't have to limit you.

I definitely think that with music my favorite thing about Nashville is that it's a music hub that accepts and allows all genres to be present, and I think there's been a kind of fusing of genres lately that for me makes me really happy and excited.
