And so...

I think I had a better sense of who I was prior to that.

And then everything shifted once she arrived.

What's great is that I have this wonderful outlet in my songwriting and my music career where I can speak about some of these things that are happening in my life.

And luckily, our audience, both with the brothers and solo, have really grown with us.

And they're kind of going through some of the same life experiences.

So it really is like speaking to peers and people that can understand kind of the language, right?

And-

understand just what you're going through.

So I felt, you know, some freedom to express myself even more in my work these days, which I think is reflected in my latest album, which I know we sent over before for you to listen to a track or two, just to get some context.

But, you know, I'm really looking forward to people hearing this work and kind of listening to these lyrics and getting a window into my life.

Yeah, I started performing professionally when I was eight.

I was doing Broadway shows as a kid.

Our parents, very musical people.

Our dad was a minister in New Jersey at the time.

And we were close enough to New York City where this dream of mine to go and perform on the Broadway stage was actually somewhat of a possibility.

And I happened to be in a hair salon with my mom.

when I was like six or seven years old, just singing as I always did, some show tune.

And the woman next to her leaned over and said, hey, my son is actually on Broadway right now on Les Mis.

Your son could do it.
