Her debut album, Wolk on was released back in 2005, when she was just 15. This was followed by All that it takes (2007) and the Live Wire (2011).

She always laughs when she sees that people don't usually have a clue of what they are doing in the industry.

- I didn’t want to write about chasing down a boy or how in love with a person I was.
- I didn’t move to Nashville with any inkling or dreams of getting a record deal. I didn’t have those stars in my eyes. I just wanted to take a break, relax and figure out songwriting.
- I'm actually really happy I didn't make it onto any of the shows I tried out for, because I took a much longer road, but it's on my terms now
