Carson : Singer, Songwriter. She started to write songs at the age of eleven when she first

How many social networks and music
outlets are you a part of?
I’m a part of numerous social network sites, including the
typical ones such as Facebook, iLike, Myspace, Twitter, and Youtube.
As for music outlets, I do have my cd for sale through CD Baby,
which has been able to get it on Itunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, and other
online stores in different countries.
Do
you have help running any of your accounts or profiles?
Yes, I do indeed have help running
my accounts and profiles. Trying to manage all of them and balancing
everything else at the same time becomes difficult, so I needed
to ask for some help. My friend, Robyn, updates my official website
and lets me know what messages I receive from fans on myspace and
in e-mails. At first I tried to manage everything, but after a while
I realized it definitely takes a load off your shoulders if you
have help. I’m grateful to have Robyn be so willing to run
things.
What's the most unusual online request
you have received in regards to your music?
I’ve had so many online requests, ranging from a company wanting
my music in a snowboard ad to someone asking if I could fly across
the country to play at their birthday party, but there is an unusual
one that sticks out. The main request that was unusual was from
a fan who loved my music and asked for an autographed picture to
put in their “prayer room”. Now, I do send out autographs
if asked, but it was definitely different to hear it would be in
a prayer room. It took me a few minutes to realize exactly what
they had asked. Though I have nothing against prayer rooms. It was
just unique. Haha.
