Lay’na Michelle quotes ” In the industry, I would love to show that independent artists deserve just as many “flowers” as major artists. Our worth should not be determined on whether or not our name is signed on a contract.
I would like to impact others by bringing positive energy to everyone that takes on the #RnBEmpress experience. Life maybe short but having a positive mind set will always make life worth living.My dream project would be to do a whole soundtrack to a movie. The way Curtis Mayfield did for Superfly, or the way Prince did for various Spike Lee Movies. I would love for my craft to set the tone/soundtrack of a film.

The advice I have for others is to remember to stay grounded and pray. Always set goals. When you stay focused on your goals the only thing that may change is the time it takes to achieve them.
