I still remember when I first fell in love with a guitar.
[MUSIC]
I was five years old and instead of watching
cartoons I found myself watching my dad and
his band rehearsing in our living room.
[SOUND] I remember waking up every single weekend and
watching a different concert DVD.
From BB King, to Eric Clapton,
Eddie Van Halen, and Carlos Santana.
But I think my absolute favorite moment was
when Prince brought out Lenny Kravitz and they did American Woman together.
That alone made me want to learn
how to play the guitar so badly.

On my seventh birthday, my dad took me to this small guitar shop in my hometown,
and he bought me my very first black and white Fender Strat.
Fast forward 13 years later,
[SOUND] I'm on my own tour.
This is something I've been dreaming about since the day I got that guitar.
Being in a new city every night, hearing people sing all the words to my songs,
it's everything I imagined and more.
[NOISE] Sometimes it can get nerve wracking.
The pressure builds, it can be really scary.
But when I'm sitting backstage with a million things going through my head and
feeling overwhelmed, all the nerves and butterflies before I get on that stage.
I think back to be that seven year old girl with a dream and
a black and white Strat rehearsing in my living room, waiting for
the day I could be on that stage with my Fender guitar.
