How did you get started? 

I was putting on concerts for my grandparents that raised me when I was 4 & 5 years old. I have always loved country music and growing up listening to Ray Price, George Jones, Loretta Lynn and so many others inspired me to be the country music artist that I am today. I started out singing at church and playing at the little local Opry‘s then later singing at sporting events/fairs/contests that my grandparents would take me to. 

How would you describe your music?

I feel like I am mix of Miranda Lambert with Dolly Parton. I am trying to blend a little modern country with a lot of traditional country 😉 

Who are your biggest musical influences? 

Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks!

What sets you apart from other artists in your genre?

I am one of the hardest working women in country music that you will ever meet. Not everyone is willing to work hard enough to make it to the top, but I am and will continue to do so!

Tell us about your newest project. What was the inspiration behind it?

I just released a brand-new album called “Turquoise and Silver”. I’m very proud of this album because I am a writer/co-writer on 10 of the 12 songs. I truly believe this is some of my best work yet and my first album was really hard to top! 

As an independent artist what has been your biggest obstacle?

I think my biggest obstacle as a female independent artist has been the lack of radio airplay on mainstream radio but honestly that goes for so many female artists out there. In such a male dominated industry us females have to work twice as hard as the males. 

What are you most proud of so far in your music journey?

I am so proud that I never gave up or even wanted to give up on this dream of mine. I have always known that I was born to do this and even though there has been so many trials in my life that a lot of people would have thrown in the towel on I’m so proud that I have persevered and I’m one step closer to where I want to be each day that I continue to work hard for what I want. 

What is on your bucket list as an artist?

I want to play the Grand Ole Opry. My grandparents would sit in the living room when I was a kid, and we would listen to the Grand Ole Opry. It has been their dream for me to play on that stage, and I want to make that happen for them before it’s too late. they are now 91 and 87 years old and I’m so blessed to still have them attend. A lot of the shows that I put on still to this day. 

If you could change anything about the music industry, what would it be?

I would love to be able to add more women to country radio and to be on more country music festivals. 

What’s next for you?

Lots of shows coming up and already booking more and more shows for 2026! It’s going to be a great year, and we are planning on finishing out this year STRONG!
