I grew up in Meridian, Mississippi, listening to all the stuff my
parents listened to in their cars, which was anything from Boston to
Aretha Franklin. Eventually, I got into ‘N Sync, whom I credit for any
ounce of talent I may or may not have. heh. I was always so shy and had
serious case of stage fright, but I knew I
wanted to sing…and I knew I
wanted to be part of a great band. Around the time I was eleven, I
wanted to start taking music seriously. Although, there weren’t many
opportunities to sing in public other than at a church or a school
talent show, I got over my shyness and sang wherever I could to gain
experience. Thankfully, by the time I was thirteen, my family and I
moved to Franklin (Tennessee). I immediately tried out for a funk/rock
cover band called The Factory, and that’s where I met Jeremy. We
always joked about being in other bands and getting big. Outside of
music, I had no friends whatsoever. So, I quit going to public school
and started school at a once a week tutorial. My first day there, I met
Zac and Josh. They were already in a band and after watching them
practice I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I was hoping for a while
that they would ask me to come sing or at least write a song or two with
them. Finally, they did…thank God.
