"That's what you want to do as an artist is be real and true and authentic to yourself."
"I rely a lot on my fans for (feedback on new original songs), especially at acoustic shows."
"I'm not gonna ever release this song until I have this song as a duet with Cody (Johnson)."
"I love getting better and constantly growing and I don't ever want to be stuck in the same place or think that I'm just perfect at everything that I do and put out. So, I'm really actually pretty open to criticism and improvements."
"People need to know... the reality behind the music and the fact that it is really, really expensive to make music and to keep putting that out there and especially as an independent artist and, even more especially, as an independent female artist, it's just a really hard world out there. It's one of the hardest careers you could choose to try to make a living at and only do that."
"Some people are gonna be, like, 'Well, you're the one that chose this career path and of course it's hard for an independent artist, I mean, you have no funding, I mean, what did you expect, it was gonna be easy? Like, you chose this career. Now you have to do what it takes to make it happen!' And while that is extremely true and we are working our butts off everyday, and people don't even see half of the struggles that we go through because we try on social media to make it look like everything's happy-go-lucky and yeah, I have all these cool things going on, and ya' know, life is just rainbows and sunshine and ya' know it is not always like that. Actually the majority of the time we're just trying to figure out, man, how are we gonna make this next thing happen? How are we gonna get to next month?!"
"I really know that music is my purpose. It's not just my passion and my love, it's my God given purpose."
"The music industry is so fluid. It's always changing, there's always something new to want or some new goal to hit."
"I don't necessarily need to be some big Taylor Swift or something like that, I mean, I think that that'd be awesome, and you always shoot for that, but if I can just do what I love for a living, it's hard to ask for more than that."
