I think that's my gift in this world is to put experience into music.

It was not cool to be that fun, bubbly kid, so I would just go off on my own and sing and make up songs, and that's how I think I developed into the kind of artist and writer that I am.

One of my favorite dishes is this alfredo I make, and I make the sauce from scratch. I love making everything from scratch.

As a young girl, I remember singing CeCe Penniston's 'Don't Walk Away.' It was like my jam.

I love all things crafty. I love to make jewelry. I love to cut up old clothes and turn them into something new. I love projects like transforming a busted table into a shiny new table. I'm really into restoration and little side projects.

The gift of song is just like... I think music is one of those true things in this world that is universal.
