rough sketch: izzi ray

happy monday! today's artist is one of my faves... she has an incredible voice + a talent for writing her own songs... + she's only 16!! my husband produced izzi's record last year + it's been on heavy rotation in our abode ever since! [check it out on itunes here]

oh + she's the daughter of crystal lewis, who was featured here a couple weeks ago! crazy talented family, right?! i'm determined to get the rest of the family members on here too.....

izzi ray has quickly become one of my closest + funniest friends + i'm so happy to have her today!!

q. // when did you start singing + what prompted you to start?

[ a ] i've been singing for as long as i can remember, and always being at my mom's concerts and hearing her sing around the house i've always known i want to follow in her footsteps!

q. // what inspires you + where do you find it?

[ a ] i usually find inspiration for my songs from the Bible or a rainy gloomy day. it can come from any little change in emotion sometimes!

q. // when you're not on stage or writing songs, what's your favorite thing to do?

[ a ] drink amazing lattes, eat incredible food, ride horses, cuddle with my cat Norman, watch movies and hang out with my family!

fill in the blank:
i have a penchant for ... iced mochas, sushi, horses, cats, puns, and pride and prejudice.

i hope this inspires you today!!
