Q&A

What’s the best thing about being a mama in this industry?

The best things about being a mama in the industry? Of course its that my biggest fans are backstage cheering me on! lol

What’s your greatest challenge?

Reminding myself that although making an impact through my work is important, the real legacy is being present and intentional in my children's lives as they grow.

What piece of advice do you have for mothers + future mothers trying to navigate a career in the music industry?

Stay true to yourself, set boundaries, and don't let the industry make you feel like you have to choose between your dreams and motherhood. Your children aren't a setback--they're part of your legacy. Move with intention, build a strong support system, and remember that success is defined on your terms...not anyone else.
