APRIL TALKS ABOUT recording “I Wanna Live Like That” album. “I loved being the studio recording the songs, it was so much fun but a lot of hard work, My producer would send me several songs to choose from and I tried to pick songs that reflected me, and that fit my personality. Songs tell a story and I want my music to touch people. I feel very blessed to be able to do that through singing.”
