**Background and Inspiration**
1. My journey as an artist began in the heart of Louisiana, where music was a part of everyday life. From singing in church choirs to performing at local events, I embraced writing and music as a way to express myself.
2. My biggest inspiration has always been the resilience and strength of people around me. Growing up, my family and community were relentless in their pursuit of joy and happiness, even in challenging times, and that deeply shaped my outlook on life and music.
3. Traveling and experiencing diverse cultures and lifestyles have profoundly affected my artistic style. I learned to blend stories, emotions, and experiences into something soulful and relatable, making them a core element of my music.
4. I have taken formal vocal lessons and have worked with some wonderful family members and friends that are pretty amazing. I've also learned through experiences, performing live, and collaborating with other talented musicians who have enriched my understanding of music.
5. Artists like Charley Pride, Loretta Lynn, Tina Turner, Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and of course Aretha Franklin have greatly influenced my work. Their ability to convey deep emotions and tell compelling stories through their music left a lasting imprint on my artistic style.
**Creative Process**
6. Starting a new piece involves connecting with my emotions and experiences. I often reflect on moments that moved me and try to channel those feelings into my music.
7. My creative process begins with introspective reflection. I am more of a lyricist and find things that resonate with my feelings and gradually build around a theme to create a cohesive story.
8. I prefer using acoustic instruments that support the soulful and country vibe of my music. It's about creating an organic and genuine sound that stays true to my roots. I love the full band feel also. The great thing about music is that there’s so many ways to create a beautiful sound I try different things.
9. To overcome creative blocks, I immerse myself in nature or spend time with loved ones. This relaxation and new energy help reignite my creative spark. I also tap into my faith which is everything to me. It helps me find peace and centers me.
10. A piece is finished when it feels complete emotionally and musically. I trust my instincts and look for that profound connection with the song to affirm its completion.
**Artistic Style and Themes**
11. My style blends country and soul, drawing from heartfelt stories and emotional depth that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.
12. Recurring themes in my work include empowerment, strength, good times, love, resilience, and the human experience. My music is a reflection of life's ups and downs.
13. While I appreciate exploring different soundscapes, I try to stick to feel good and soulful tones that align with my personal and artistic vision.
14. My style evolved as I embraced more diverse musical influences and gained more life experience. Each step in my journey added more layers to my artistic expression.
15. I create music for both personal fulfillment and to reach those who can find solace and understanding in my songs. It's a balance between self-expression and connecting with my audience. Music has no boundaries, so I do create it for the world.
**Inspirations and Influences**
16. My surroundings and culture are integral to my art. They offer endless inspiration, celebrating life's beauty and complexity through music. Anytime whether riding a horse, in water or communing with nature. I like to surround myself with good hearted people and share and spread love, this fills my cup when it’s getting depleted.
17. Non-artistic influences include my family, community, and personal experiences. They provide the stories and emotions that fuel my creative process, making it rich and relatable.
