Key Quotes:

"We wouldn't have been given that seed of a dream or a gift if we weren't meant to see it through and we weren't meant to share it." - Alana Gentry

"I feel like music carries a vibration. Everything does, but when you're actually singing and you're having a tone go through your body, whether you consider yourself a good singer or not, I think that tone, that vibrational tone of sound current moving through our body changes the energy and uplifts us." - Alana Gentry
