I was 11 and I had this demo CD of me singing Dixie Chicks and Leanne Rimes songs."

Darkness
"I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it."
Idea
"Record covers helped me discover a lot of music that I wasn't aware of."
Music
