HelllooooO!
Just wanted to check in and write to you a little bit... I hope
everyone is having a great summer and makig the most of it! My Lifetime
movie "True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet" comes on tomarrow
(Saturday) at 9 pm EST so be sure to check it out! Right now I'm in
Atlanta, Georgia right now putting the finishing touches on my album. I
am so happy with how its turning out, and so thrilled to have been able
to work with the producers and collaborators that I have. Ive never
felt more enthusiastic about a project, and I feel like this speaks to
where I am in my life as well as lyrically and musically. Its been such
an enjoyable process to assemble this record, and I am anxious for you
to hear it and see what you think. :)
But i've got to be a little vulnerable for a minute.... im a bit
frustrated! I'm 17 years old, and I feel that people have tried
to dismiss me in the industry or have the sense of "Why hasnt she been
doing anything? She must be dead". This is pretty sucky! When people
havent heard music from you in quite some time, its understandable that
they may want to dismiss you as being "done", and its hard because
folks dont get to see what goes on behind the scenes for months,
sometimes years to put things together, etc. Im about to be a senior in
high school, im dedicated to my education as well as my career so it
gets difficult to juggle sometimes, but i feel that anything thats
worth it takes work. Bottom line, just because Im not in the spotlight
does not mean that ive retired (lol). Im so young, and music is my
everything. I view my career as a marathon, not a sprint. And i try to
do things based on the long term plan, not for financially motivated
reasons. Have I made mistakes? Absolutely. Will I make more? Sure!
But will I learn along the way, channel it into my music, chalk it up
to experience, and come out stronger from it? You betta believe it ;)!
I just want to thank you for sticking by me, waiting it out with me,
and growing up with me. Its amazing that I put my first single out when
I was 13 and now im just finishing up my third album and Im not even
18 yet! Ive seen so much in a short span of time, and learned to much.
Its a blessing, and I promise to not forget it. I vow to put my all
into everything that I do and to always represent what I believe in to
the fullest. I cant wait for you to read/hear the lyrics to the title
track "All I Want is Everything" because it really represents how I
feel at this point in my life. I wrote it out of hope, excitement,
frustration, and based on my dreams. I think everyone will be able to
relate to the feeling. :) Im anxious for you to see and hear what Ive
been working on.
Stay up and know that Impossible = 0.
x's and o's
