<p id=”par-3_51″>“My teenage years were about the grind.

I didn’t feel like I had time to ‘kiki’ or hang out. I sacrificed a lot of things and ran from any possible distraction.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_19″>Unfortunately, this relentless work ethic resulted in a vocal injury. She worried that this would permanently damage her career.</p>
<p id=”par-7_61″>“I had my first vocal injury at 13 from singing in the studio for too many hours,” she said. “We had just gotten our first record deal, and I was afraid I had developed nodules and destroyed my voice and that my career could be over. The doctors put me on vocal rest all summer and I was silent once again.”</p>
