“I started singing when I was in first grade. I was in an after school choir. My first solo was in about third grade, when I  went to an old school house.I didn’t think I was that good at singing because I went to a small elementary school, but in about sixth grade my choir teacher told me I should try out for state choir, so I did. Singing is kind of an outlet for me, it gives me something to do. My mom sings too. She sang in church all her life and my sister sings and plays the ukulele and my brother can sing too…but my dad got kicked out of choir because he can’t sing.”
