Watch video to one of her songs ‘Don’t Doubt The Lord’ In her own words ‘Don’t doubt the Lord is a song written when I was 9yrs old to encourage people to never give up and be steadfast in God, to always keep the faith no matter the situation. The inspiration came the day I met my mum crying because she was going in and out of the hospital due to problems with her vocal cords and was told she could lose her speaking voice and her singing voice, but God eventually healed her, I hope this song gives you strength and faith in God’
