Sounds Like: I really put quite a bit of thought into the songs I chose. I didn't want to be put into a hard shell, I believe that it is important for there to be room to grow. In saying that, I am told I sound like Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, I have been at times compared to Jewel, Faith Hill and some others by my family, friends, and fans. I am flattered by this, however, it will always be my goal to always be myself and though I may be compared I hope I may also be known for my own style.
