Stacie Orrico is no ordinary sixteen-year old. Ordinary sixteen-year olds don't rack up gold sales figures with her debut release and no mass media buzz. Stacie did. Her first album, Genuine, bowed at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, and has gone on to sell over 500,000 units.
Ordinary sixteen-year olds don't possess the brand of dynamic stage presence that can make an impression on Destiny's Child.
All of my influences are very soulful musicians - my favorite artist is Lauryn Hill, and I've always loved Whitney Houston and Ella Fitzgerald...
