I’ve had many women who have inspired me along my musical journey. Those women are people like Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt, all of whom have influenced me greatly with their music and songwriting and have been trailblazers in their fields. They all have the kind of longevity in their careers that one could only hope to have and I find that to be so inspiring as a musician, songwriter, and artist. On a personal level, my biggest inspiration has been my grandmother, Marvelle. She is 87 years old and still has such an incredible love and appreciation for life and she lives it to its fullest every day. She reminds me continually to make the most of the time we have and that success comes in many forms, not just monetary. Being happy and finding purpose, whatever that may be, is being successful in this life and I’m grateful for her influence and for the lessons she continues to teach me.
