3. Can you tell us how you got to where you are now career-wise? And give advice to anyone looking to pursue the same thing? 

I feel a lot of the opportunities I've been given have been because of God's hand orchestrating His plan, so a big piece of advice would be to stay connected with Him constantly. Also getting yourself out there is important. Be real with people because people connect with authenticity!

I have been blessed with very supportive parents and my dad actually used to be in a band, but he gave up music when I was born.  Now it's really special because we get to do music together!

4. What's the best Biblical advice anyone has ever given you? 

I'm not sure if I can just pick one thing because there are so many, but knowing that God has a plan is very comforting to me. In fact, Jeremiah 29:11 is my favorite bible verse!

5. Can we be expecting to see any new projects from you soon?

Yes!! I just finished recording a new single in Nashville, and I am super excited about it! It talks about how we have to be careful about the words we say, because they can really have a lasting affect on someone. It should be released soon and if anyone wants updates on when it will be out they can join my Backstage Pass family on my website, www.XandriaCross.com, and to be the first to know through my emails! Also they can follow my socials @XandriaCross because I post lots of info there too (shameless plug lol)!
