I'm kind of a good girl - and I'm not. I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That's what the stories in my music do. ↗

My stories are very somber, so I think I need the comic ingredient. Besides, life has so much humor. ↗
