Its really hard for me to sometimes put myself out there, like Hey, how do you feel about making music together? because maybe Im afraid of rejection or I dont want to put anybody out. Its the Southerner in me, like, I dont mean to bother you but do you mind making a song? – Beth Ditto
Ive never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller, and it just didnt work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight, and they all had big voices too just different than mine. – Beth Ditto
