I was in church choir for years, IвЂ™ve been singing forever. IвЂ™ve played piano, bass and a little bit of hand bells. This is my first tour, and my first time in a band. Have you ever gone on tour or played in any other bands before? IвЂ™ve done a pretty good job of staying private. You know, I thought about making my Tumblr public, boosting my Internet presence.
