Megan Nicole Quotes

I'm consistently recording and releasing stuff online or YouTube videos or whatever it is. I just don't know if it's going to be a full on, I'm the next Rihanna, or whatever. I'm not going for it to that level. But I love making music and I don't think I could stop if I wanted to.

When I was doing 'Hot Shot,' I didn't even have an album deal.

I grew up in the era of Britney Spears, where artists had songs written for them, and you got up and sang them. That's how I always thought it was.

Even though I haven't released a song since 2010, I have still performed, so I don't feel I have been completely away from music. I have been away on a mainstream level, of course. But releasing a single this way - on my own independent record label - is more fun.
