I like big, soaring melodies and fun, splashy lyrics. Maybe like what Blondie would do in 2013.

I started writing my own songs from the time I was a little kid. I would write my own lyrics to other people's songs that I heard on the radio and take whatever song and make it about fairies and angels - whatever little girls sing about.

People like hearing songs that sound like something they've heard before, that's reminiscent of their childhood and of what their parents listened to.

I specialize in lyrics and melodies. I'm good with themes.

We've still got the melodies, we've still got the nice 'strong girl' lyrics going on.

I thought back to my middle-school experience of having slumber parties and watching Romeo + Juliet and staring at Leo and thinking about my first kiss and what I wanted it to be like. And when you have your first real love, it's an epiphany, you know? It's like a whole new world.
