Her true-to-life songwriting portrays the heart of a woman ranging from independence to vulnerability. When asked about where she gets her inspiration she commented, “I believe songs are a form of storytelling and I always try to convey that in my singing. If I can’t feel it, then I usually won’t do it any justice by trying to sing it.”
