When I am asked how long I have been singing, I am not sure how to answer. I have been singing since I could talk! My parents say that when I would wake up in the morning, I wouldn’t cry like babies normally would; I would sing songs. However, I didn’t get the guts to perform in public until the age of nine. I was in the 3rd grade, and tried out for my school’s talent show. I was so excited when I found out that I had made it! I had always wanted to, but chickened out every time I even thought about auditioning. The night finally came and I sang “On the Side Of Angels” by LeAnn Rimes. I stood so still…scared to death!
Since that performance in 2000, I have definitely loosened up on stage, performed in several different areas of the country, hosted/co-hosted several shows, began writing songs, and met/worked with so many amazing people in the music industry. (You can scroll down for more info.)
Outside of performing, I became a full-time college student (with free books and tuition) at age 16. I was far ahead in credits and worked hard to keep up my grades, and it all paid off! I was given the opportunity to attend all college classes while getting my last few credits for high school at the same time. I will now walk across the stage twice in 2009: once for my High School Diploma, and again, a few weeks later, for my Associate’s Degree.
I was recently told that I needed to start trying to decide what I want to study for when I transfer to a four-year institution. I don’t want to study music. (Not because music isn’t my passion, but because I want to have a great career to fall back on, just in case a breakthrough in music isn’t meant to happen for me.) I have found myself stuck! I have never thought of anything but music as a career! I am now trying to decide between Broadcasting or Entertainment Law, but now I am even more determined to make music history one day!
My parents have taught me to work hard for everything I have. From that, I have been able to balance so many things at one time…without going crazy! I am proud to say that I have my priorities straight, and I am not your average 17 year-old. I know that my future includes a career in music, but it is up to God to decide the right time for me.

A very Happy New Year to you and your family. May 2009 be wonderful to you-with lots of happiness. I am very proud of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care and bless you always.
Hey Brit! Doing fine, how are you doing? Hows the album sales coming along? ..and you're right, it has been a while...need to hook up...do some rockn...and some rolln :) lol
Dear Lord, In the new year, we pray that You will guide us each new day in paths that are pleasing to You. Lord, the new year gives us another chance to rededicate our lives to You, to study Your Word so that we know right from wrong and to act in accordance with Your commands. Thank you for the sense of direction, purpose and peace we get from aligning our lives with Your Holy will. We pray for the strength and the will to obey You each and every day of the new year, and when we fail, we pray for Your mercy, Your compassion, Your grace and Your love. Help us in the new year to be your faithful servants. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want. He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me. He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining. He reminds me that He is my source and not my job. He restores my sanity every day and guides my decisions that Imight honor Him in all that I do. Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers , discriminating supervisors and an aging body that doesn't cooperate every morning, I still will not stop --- for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through. He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me. He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go. His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check. His retirement plan beats any 401k there is! When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer! Pass this message to 5 people and bless them today...not just yourself!
