On Instagram, Puddin’ shared deep words about the career marker, saying the record deal means “the world” to her.
“Listen, I’ve always been off trend my whole life. I’ve Never been in the cool crowd. It used to hurt but it forced me to move alone, but strong. Just me my mic, voice, pen, and God.
I kicked, screamed, begged, and pleaded to just sing what I wanted. 3 years ago after getting sick and almost loosing my life attempt to be accepted by culture. I said f**k it! If I can’t get invited to the party I’ll throw my own and that’s what I did.”
She explained that she moved back to Tennessee because she believed she deserved “to do what [she’s] great at.”
“It’s bigger than me. I represent the weird kids, the misunderstood, the have nots, the overlooked, women and men from all different walks of life. I am the underdog.
Thank you @bbrmusicgroup @bmg for partnering with me and understanding my vision. Out of every label I knew IMMEDIATELY where I was going.
I look forward to hitting stages everywhere to introduce the music I grew up on. A long hard road ahead of me, but I’m equipped for WHATEVER. Ford Tough.”
