There are people out there who are into traditional country music and for those people you have artists like Brad Paisley and Josh Turner and Alan Jackson. Then you have artists with a progressive style of country music, like myself and Eric Church a...
When I first started out in the music industry and went to Elektra Records, I didn't go to be an artist, I went to get a record label started. And they said in order to have a label deal, I had to be an artist - so that's what I did.
I think all those artists are artists who are appreciated because you believe their words and you appreciate their honesty in their music. If you don't appreciate the honesty in the music, the beat can be fly as hell but you'll never give an emcee pr...
I know there's a creative side to artists to - pardon me - there's a creative side to scientists already, but there may be an artistic side, too, waiting to break free.

Artists shouldn't wait until they are told what their art should be, they shouldn't follow trends or allow other people to influence their work, an artist should only create from the strongest emotions within their heart

I was taught from a young age that many people would treat me as a second-class citizen because I was African-American and because I was female.

I have always liked lionesses. Female lions have always seemed like the best. They were really strong and took care of their babies and are beautiful.
I tend to lean toward strong female stories. I want to make things that don't already exist out there.
I wanted to be the greatest woman guitarist alive. I had fantasies about being a female Jimi Hendrix.
I want to see 10 female rappers getting regular rotation. It can't be all about a man's opinion.
I tell about some of the female characters from the Bible so girls can be inspired and empowered and uplifted.
I'd like to think of myself as somebody who has a voice for liberating female sexuality.
