American country music singer. She attributes her soulful sound to her early childhood in South Florida, where reggae and R&B music were prominent. When her family relocated to North Carolina she began drawing inspiration from an array of genres and artists, among them McGraw, Shania Twain, P!nk, Eric Church, Destiny’s Child and Miranda Lambert. “I grew up singing,” she says. “I was definitely the girl who stood in front of the security camera in every store. If there was a camera I found it. But it wasn’t just me staring at myself on the monitor. I knew I was a performer.
