I have been singing since I could talk. At 3 years old, I enthusiastically joined a beat performer in Litchfield, S.C., to sing my favorite songs, “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute” and “Let a Frown Be Your Umbrella.” My life, in many ways, has been one big stage. I have always been surrounded by artists and the arts. When I was 16, I started playing with friends in a rock band. Since then, I have never looked back. When I arrived at Florida State in 1991, I was in a band within a week.
