A recording artist, singer, songwriter, entertainer who added to her music catalog with a single earlier this year for which there was later a remix released. Last year, on Christmas Day, she had put out an album featuring eleven songs. Her discography goes back as far as a full-length album from 2013 called, “Somebody’s Gonna Pay,” which is fitting given her other career in entertainment, running parallel to doing music, that being in professional wrestling. In addition, she is also part of a YouTube show called GAW TV.

Notable Guest Quotes

"I'm very much a wordsmith in the sense of, I like writing.  I love songwriting because it tells stories."

"We, as artists and as entertainers too... I feel like we're kind of introverts on the inside, like it takes a lot, like we have to prep ourselves to go out and do that -- get mentally, emotionally, physically (ready)."

"I've been really blessed to have and be able to surround myself with really cool people who want to see me succeed, I want to see them succeed, and we can do it together.  And I feel like that's really the most important thing."

"Sometimes I'll sit down and it can take me two hours to write a song, or, there are songs that I have been sitting on forever where they're just kind of half finished and then I moved off 'cause I didn't love it, 'cause there's a whole art to it."

"When I first started on the music journey I wanted to be taken seriously as a music artist and not to be looked at as a novelty of, 'Oh, there's that wrestling chick'."

"If you stay true and you stay on course and you keep the vision that payoff is going to blow your mind."

"Time is not going to wait on you and if you're not going to put in the work, somebody else is going to."

"The business itself has thickened my skin, the entertainment -- you have to have thick skin because everybody from the top execs all the way to the guy on Twitter is going to have an opinion about you and what you're doing and how they could potentially do it better."

"I don't like surrounding myself with just a bunch of agreeing people because then I'm like, 'I don't know if they're being genuine or if they're just telling me what I want to hear to hang out,' like, I... would rather someone be honest with me and me not like it.  It doesn't mean I'm gonna dislike them."
