She has said of her beginnings:
I was in choir from a very early age. It was kind of my life since I was about eight. But I didn't know what that would mean for me when I was an adult, or as a career. I didn't even know what a career was in high school. But when I was in high school I heard the Indigo Girls for the first time. And I was like, "Okay! I wanna do that." It was definitely a pivotal moment. The first time I heard "Love Will Come to You", that's when I knew.Quoted in Benjamin Ricci, "Arranging Music for the Studio, Tackling The Beatles, and Confronting Artistic Risk Head On", Performer, 1 October 2012.
