Back in March, you debuted your first single, Little Miss Hollywood. Tell us a little about your inspirations behind the song.
ERIN REESE: When I was born, my Papa, who is in the video with my dad called me “Little Miss Hollywood.” He would always say he knew I would do great things and be a star. When we were discussing concepts with my songwriter and music producer Griffith Frank, he immediately loved it. The song is about my journey from the East Coast to the West Coast to pursue my dream. We all have fear, so the story in the video shows me being rejected at first, but with support, nailing an audition.
