Internet Hollywood: What’s up Rae?! Welcome back to the Internet Hollywood universe! It seems to have become a habit of mine to get in touch with you everytime I do a lot of interviews. LOL. It’s always fun chatting with someone as awesome and supportive as you. How did you bring in the new years and did you make any resolutions?

_

Rae: Hi!! It’s always so good to chat, I have endless support for Internet Hollywood. I spent my New Year working and seeing my best friend. My resolution is to stop letting the negative comments thrown at me sometimes get to me, and trust my gut a little more.

_

Internet Hollywood: You told me that you were working with your brand again. What are some of the things you are working on and will we hear music for this first time this year?

_

Rae: I am looking to audition for a heavy metal band this coming Friday! I am so excited. I am also looking to meet with other vocalists/writers this year, because i really want to come out with my very first original song this year. One of my biggest 2019 goals!

_

Internet Hollywood: With the decline of sales from rock n roll artists, does it bother you at all when thoughts of how the climate of music has changed since rock isn’t as popular in the mainstream like it use to be?

_

Rae: It does and it doesn’t. Rock n roll will always be a love of mine, but i am happy it seems nowadays, people are more and more open to all different types of music.

_

Internet Hollywood: What was the inspiration behind your decision to start singing and who were some of your biggest influences growing up?

_

Rae: Singing was the one thing that has always made me feel… “normal” and “at one” with the world, as cheesy as that sounds. Music helps me cope with life every day, it’s my biggest form of therapy. My biggest influences for singing growing up were definitely Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, and currently I am really inspired by Oh Wonder.

_

Internet Hollywood: How hard was it to put together a group of people to form a band and what positions do each member in your group play?

_

Rae: The last band I was in, I was the lead vocalist, along with a drummer, bassist, and guitarist, It was so fun, I actually found them. An amazing group of guys.

_

Internet Hollywood: What goals do you have set for this year and what are you hoping to gain from achieving them?

_

Rae: My goals for this year!! First, i want to stay healthy in the mind and body. And second, I want to focus more on what I love, like singing and music. I want to perform and sing for people.

_

Internet Hollywoo: And my last question I asked a few others, what was the biggest mistake you made last year and is there anything you changed to make sure you don’t have to go through those mistakes again?

_

Rae: The biggest mistake i made last year was going back to toxic people, and making them believe they were never the problem because I went back to them in a vulnerable state. This year and on, i will be staying strong and focusing on self love, along with the people who have never made me suffer inside.

Internet Hollywood: Thank you for the interview, Rae!
