  • One of my favorite interviews as a performer

    Joe gets it. Not one second wasted. He wrote such thought provoking questions that made me dig into who I am as a creative and what God has given me to share with others through my new record Vocation. It can be easy to move through interviews with rote interest. But not with Joe. If he takes the time to talk, it’s worth it. Thank you for facilitating such a dynamic moment around my new record, Joe. Vocation indeed.
