You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.

I started to write a lot of ballads that were sultry and had a Norah Jones-for-country kind of feel. I wanted to bring elements of old soul music and old country music.

I listened to country music my whole life. I started writing music when I was a teenager. It all came out country.

I feel really blessed to first of all have the opportunity to do music, and second of all to have it be going well.

When creating an album, one of the first things you have to think about is what you want your production style to be.

I was kind of going that route with my country music. Indie country. Which would work, if I was playing on Americana stages. Unless I had a television outlet like 'Glee'.
