feeling yet?

I want my music and talent to afford me a life-long career and to afford others a "YES" moment when they listen, watch or share in it some way.

Every time I perform, I come away from the experience with the need to re-live it under my own criticisms and those of the people I trust. So, truthfully...I don't get the "I've made it" feel- <CV WW> I see you’ve done cheering. I do get a satisfied feeling leading, but “dirt bike stunts”?! when I know I gave 110 percent. You’ve got to explain that… I wanted to also be a moto-x racer when I was younger because my brother was such a powerful force in the moto-x world; so I was on a "PW50" as soon as I could be, racing at the speedway, bound and determined to copy my brother. One day, I was racing a boy in the neighborhood on a bet and was winning when we came around a corner at a high rate of speed, I slid out in the gravel, nailed a curb and was seriously "road rash wounded" and injured in a few other ways...while I was on all of those competitive dance teams; I was forced to pick one or the other...so I quit riding as much.

Dance is and will always be a part of my music career. I take class still, teach class and choreography, attend as many dance auditions I can possible make and sometimes have choreographed dance/dancers in my shows. I was in a duo once for a short bit and they asked me to give up dance and focus solely on the duo; I quickly let them know...I have for YEARS multi-tasked my time well and to date, I've been able to fit it all in. <CV WW> Having done competitive dance, tell us about the Platinum/ Diamond/First Place/Technical Skill/Dancer of the Year Finalist Awards (2003-2010).

Those are all awards that I am super proud of; some of them were solo numbers, some were team wins but all were won with hours upon hours of hard work, determination and excellent instruction. Dance taught me more than how to move; it taught me discipline, camaraderie, excellence, de< C V W W > S e r i o u s l y … H u l a termination, and gracious winning/ Hoop? Really? losing. Oh yeah, I can hula hoop...I've got the rhythm in me. <CV WW> You’ve done work with

<CV WW> The song “Tomboy”, is that a personal anthem? You are young, blond, beautiful, and can sing lights out, but also tough, do Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, Blake you look in the mirror when you <CV WW> I’m a computer gamer think of that song? Tomboy is a representation too, so I’m particularly interested of me in some ways; I am a girlie in your experience hosting the Xgirl and love my heels but I also box Halo Tournament, tell us about love to ride dirt bikes, hunt, and that.

fish - you know, I'm very comfortable hangin’ with the boys; I spent a lot of time hangin’ with my Dad and brother as a kid and doing crazy guy things and I do see myself as a strong, tough girl.

My best friend's husband is huge gamer and enters the major tournaments often, so because of the connection, I was asked to host a tournament in Knoxville. I followed the script and met a lot of really nice people.

<CV WW> What do you hope to accomplish with your music, how do <CV WW> You’re also a dancer… you want people to react to your how much do you focus on dancing as a career option? music?
