00:00So maybe, tell us about your musical upbringing.

00:02Well, my upbringing started in a church. I was raised in a Christian Episcopal church.

00:08There was a very good gospel choir there, and I was not old enough to sing in the choir.

00:13And one day, I decided to sing a solo.

00:17And when I started singing, I was about eight years old.

00:20And everybody started laughing because they thought, oh, little girl.

00:24And I opened my mouth, and the same voice came out that I have now, just about.

00:28And they were like this, and I was like this.

00:33And I heard God speak to me, and He said that, you're going to be famous.

00:38This is power. You are never to misuse this power.

00:41In my head, I heard it very clearly, and I was like, I'm going to be famous. Wow.

00:46And so at that moment, I knew, but when I opened my eyes, I started crying,

00:50and then everybody else was crying in the whole church.

00:52And I thought, whoa, what's going on?

00:54And so that was the way I can remember the moment in my life when everything changed.

01:00So, we just stood out in the back now.

01:01So, we saw that was right.

01:01And I was like, it's one thing, and I was like, and that somehow did me by the love of a thought.

01:06Otherwise, I am going to be here.

01:07So, if we're talking about the moment in my life when nothing left before,

01:11I started saying to me, oh, it's the impossible thing in my life.

01:15And so that was to say, oh, well, it's all those things.

01:17You know what, I mean?

01:20Well, yeah.

01:21So, if you were trying to do something, I don't know, right?

01:23Well, and so basically I've got the start.

01:25That's what I have.

01:25Okay.
