I've put projects out on my own label twice now and been very successful which shows you don't need a major label to back you in this day and age.

When it comes to the best new artist, album, or song of the year, yes, it's very rare that you see someone in country win one of those. It's a very strong genre, and it's got roots so deep in our...

The first song I did was over a Chief Keef beat - 'Understand Me.' I did that in, like, 2011 or 2012, I think.

We all liked Elektra because it was a boutique label. 'Oh, my God, we can be on the same label as Paul Butterfield!'

When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.

When I first started blogging, it was about getting out new music and capturing artists working in the studio. This was before artists were so social. They weren't so hands-on then.

I'm overly excited to finally announce this amazing global partnership deal back home with EMI Music. I know I have mentioned doing music in the past but for legal reasons I was not in a position to...

They were marketing me as a teen idol, when the stuff on the record was not what teen idols were doing at the time.

I'm cool with Jay-Z. Jay-Z is genuinely my friend.

I wish the music business was a much easier thing, but you know what? Nothing easy is worth anything. So it is what it is. There comes a time when things can work out and everybody can be happy. And...
