Actually shes not.
Shes from tennesee and moved out to LA on her own. When I got to know her she was working at a panini restaurant in Downtown across from where I was living. She was living in silver lake in a shit hole with no car and rode her bike everywhere. She just happened to meet the right people (my friend/roommate at the time) while she was singing at the place. Then she got to know our other friend who started writing these crazy songs and such with her.
So yeah, she was pretty much an transplant making hardly any income that got to know the right people. She was crazy before the music thing started but by no means was she a whore or anything.
I find it weird that I'm sticking up for her cause I don't really care for her new sound, but she is a non bullshit kinda girl, and I respect that.
