Tell us a little about your family.<\/strong>
\nI will start with my Dad , he is my hero , I have seen him go through many trials while pastoring for fourteen years\u2014 having cancer and losing a child\u2014and he has never had the thought of resigning from the church. My mom is also a hero of mine. She is the one that keeps me in line and I love her for that. I have a little sister named Dasha. She is like my cute \u201cmini-me\u201d.<\/p>\n

What is your salvation story?<\/strong>
\nI received the Holy Ghost when I was four years old in Petersburg, Indiana, at the church where we were my father served as pastor at the time. I was later baptized in the same church. I live an overcoming live by surrounding myself with active Holy-Ghost-filled teens; I love youth rally\u2019s and camps.<\/p>\n

What is your music background?<\/strong>
\nI can remember singing at the age of two years old in the kids choir. It wasn\u2019t until I was about eleven that I started singing solos. I have to say my mom was and is my biggest influence in the music world, She taught herself how to play piano.<\/p>\n

What is the story behind your album?<\/strong>
\nMy dad always told me that one day I would have a CD. One day he was talking to a close friend of ours Larry Carter and the next thing I knew he was talking to me and giving me some details on what we need to do.<\/p>\n

You wrote several of the songs on your album, where do you get your inspiration and what is your process for writing.<\/strong>
\nI was inspired on two of the songs that I wrote from my dad\u2019s messages, \u201cKing in Me\u201d and \u201cAmazing\u201d. The other two songs I credit my inspiration from life itself and the struggles that life brings.<\/p>\n

What was your favorite part of the \u201calbum making\u201d process?<\/strong>
\nMy favorite part was working with Larry Carter. I know one day we were together for at least twelve hours, and after about the tenth hour I guess you could say I was getting slap happy. I was so amazed at what all went into this project. There are people that helped on this project that I have never met . I loved the photos shoot most of all. My dad took those pictures and it was a blast.
\nWhat is the best advise you have been given?<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t ever quit. Don\u2019t even slow down. My dad lives by and preaches that if you hang around greatness your life will always be challenged and therefore you will always chase after greatness.<\/p>\n

If you had the attention of the world what would you say?<\/strong>
\nJesus is coming, and He is coming sooner than you think.<\/p>\n

Any loves other than music?<\/strong>
\nI love playing volleyball, and I love going to new places on vacation. I love my new youth group at our new church in Corning, Arkansas.<\/p>\n

What are five things you can\u2019t live without?<\/strong>
\nJesus, my family, cell phone, Facebook, and my curling iron.<\/p>\n

If you could sing anywhere in the world where would you sing?<\/strong>
\nI have always wanted to go to Africa.<\/p>\n

Who do you want to send a \u2018shout out\u2019 to?<\/strong>
\nTo all my sisters at Urshan College, get ready I will be there in August!<\/p>\n
