One great thing about my mom, about the business, is that she has a really great head on her shoulders about everything and always has been 100 percent about the music and not about the other junk. ”

There's a lot to live up to when three of your parents are successful in the music business. ”

I think my music is a little shocking to some people because my voice is very traditional-sounding, and my music is not. ”

Sit Here and Cry' was one of the first songs I wrote with that overdramatic sarcastic dry sense of humor, which is why the energy of the song doesn't necessarily reflect the subject matter. ”

I had all these raw, gritty rock records that really inspired me sonically, and so I think everything I listen to when I started writing my own songs kind of came out naturally, and it created this new sound. ”

I was born in Nashville, but my whole family is from East Texas, so I consider myself a dual citizen. ”

Vocally, I sound like my mom. I don't think I can help it. That's just my natural voice. ”

That's why I made my record before I had a label. I put it out independently - in a way, out of fear - because I didn't want anyone to change it. ”

What really excites me is the production. I get in there and change a lot of stuff. ”

Sometimes I'll meet somebody, and they've looked me up online or whatever, and they've never heard me talk or met me. I think they expect me to be a lot darker than I am and maybe less - not less friendly - but I guess I'm drawn to that dark emotional music. Maybe they think I'm a little more brooding. ”
