I've had great people come in my life, meaning not just men, but women, support me and empower me. So that has lifted me to be the woman I am.
I love energy and people; gosh I love people even when they got on my nerves.
our product will speak for itself if it's that good and your fan base will come and people will want it. Having the right people in your circle is very important to help support that.
So in every sense, from an independent artist to a major label artist, you just have to have great product, great faith and great people, they all go together.
I study a lot of the greats; I study the current people out now and what people are listening to now. I don't shun anything away; I just check it all out and make my own judgment.
I'm very open, I love music and I love people so you need to know what's going on.
I'm just happy that I'm able to take care of what I need to take care of, live, and do the thing that I love the most and that is to sing. People want to hear it, buy it, see it, hold it, record it, bootleg it. It's fine with me as long as it's good but when it's bad I'm in trouble!
When my time ends, I want people to say, 'Man her music made me smile; it just enlightened my life; it inspired me; it made me feel good every time.'
