When Tamron asked about her experience as a 16-year-old contestant on The Voice, Hawthorne confessed to feeling insecure despite her considerable success. “Accomplishing so much at a young age sets the bar much higher for yourself,” the singer said. “I just try not to psych myself out…but the pressure’s there because you always want to grow and try to be great.”
Hawthorne has proven her success and longevity in the industry. She has matured, and the artist has discovered the importance of trusting in God rather than fretting over the future. “As long as I’m following the path God has set for me, I’m good,” she affirmed. “As long as I’m following the path God has set for me, I’m good,” she said. “If he is in control, it’s going to work out.” She hopes to keep inspiring others with songs about her faith journey and continue building confidence in her music and songwriting.
After her interview with Tamron, Hawthorne performed her hit single “Look at God” live on the show. With lyrics like “I’m not confused, I know what He’s done.. Check the reviews, count every battle He’s won,” the song highlights her perseverance through adversity and her gratitude for her faith. Her selfless attitude and ability to convey emotion through song have gained many fans and inspired people worldwide. At only 26 years old, Hawthorne undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of her.
