In the year 2010, I predicted that Heather Leigh [the Florida Christian Music Singer] would go places. I have visited her webpages many times and the conclusion is: Heather Leigh is the versatile singer for America and the world in the 21st Century.

I invited her to be interviewed and she took time from her busy schedule for this interview. The rest is history.

1. What inspired you to record a song for the military?
   I actually started writing the song as just  a love song, but when I posted some of the lyrics on facebook, a military wife messaged me and said, «That’s exactly how I feel!» So, I set out to finish the rest of the song with that in mind.  I feel like there’s a lot of songs that salute the military who have served or are serving (as well there should be), but I wanted a song that was dedicated to those family members who get left behind to hold down the fort while their gone.  «With You» is my ‘thank you’ to the ones who let their loved ones serve.
 
2. What motivated you to audition for The Voice?
   My son, actually!  He kept saying, «Come on, mama….me and you!  We’re gonna audition for The Voice!»  I thought it would be fun to go with him and experience the audition, so I submitted my entry…..of course, he’s procrastinating now and hasn’t submitted his application!  But I’m going!  Next month in Orlando, so keep me in your prayers!
 
3. For how long have you been involved in the campaign to get rid of breast cancer?

 
   I have been a nurse in radiology for 10 years now.  I am heavily involved with the breast biopsy process and helping women during a very anxious time.  But it’s not just my job.  I donate a lot of my singing to breast cancer events.  In fact, this Friday I’ll be singing at the Pitch for Pink game at Bright House Field in Clearwater and next month, on August 26th, I’ll be performing at the Hoedown for Hooters at The Roundup in Tampa.  Both events are to benefit breast cancer research.

 
4. How important is God in your life and career?

 
  Couldn’t do it without Him.  Period.  I’m learning that He and I don’t always see eye to eye on how things should be, but He’s waaaaaay smarter than me!  It’s a journey…a process of learning to trust Him with everything.  But honestly, after my accident, I realized how fragile I really am and how much I need Him every day to do what I do.
 
5. What are your plans with regards to tours?

 
  I would love to tour some time, for sure!  It’s very difficult to designate a set month or two and leave everything behind, so for right now, I stay in Florida for the most part.
 
6. Will there be any new albums released this year or next year?

 
   Second Chances was just released this February.  My next project is going to be a collection of love songs, but I don’t have a set timeframe for that just yet.
