As I lie in bed, wide awake at 3:30 a.m., my mind decides to wander. It’s running all over the place, but somehow, it always leads me back to you. It’s almost frightening thinking about you, honestly. I don’t know much about you, but you know everything about me. Funny how that is, huh? You’re...

For most people, the music industry has a sense of success and a luxurious life tied to it.

It’s the third day of fall and for the first time, it actually feels like fall weather. The windows of my car are rolled down and 94.7 Nash FM is blasting through the speakers, as the crisp, fresh air brushes through my now, dark auburn hair.

When I'm attending a general admission concert, it puts a lot of pressure on me. Making sure all of my food, drinks, portable chargers, and wallet are all with me. Waiting over ten hours for a show, I must be prepared. Why do I wait hours for a show? The main goal is to be front row - that's usually...
