2. “A Little Bit in Love” is such a beautiful song. Can you share the inspiration behind it and how it came to be?
– I wrote the song “A Little Bit in Love” about the feeling you have when you are crushing on someone and you think it may be a feeling more than like. “A Little Bit in Love” is a song about not necessarily knowing what the feeling of being in love feels like, but knowing what you’re in is something different.
3. How has winning Cascabel Give Back impacted your music career and opened up new opportunities for you as a country artist?
– Winning the Cascabel Give Back has impacted my music career a lot. By having won the Cascabel Give Back, my music video was able to be on “vevo” and “CMT” which ultimately gave my music more exposure with having a very professional video to back it.
