Lauren Daigle Quotes

For the longest time I was brought up listening to only two genres of music, pop and rock. So in the past few years I've been trying to expand my interests because I think that you can only write to the extent of your knowledge, and if your knowledge is limited you can't write past that.

I really like to think of each record as its own thing. So, for sure, but I hate the idea of being stuck in anything.
