Inskeep of Fishers, Indiana recently talked about her musical journey.

"Music has always been my passion, yeah. I started singing very, very young," she said.

Inskeep said her faith plays into her music and what she wants to do with her life.

"The Lord has sustained me through everything, and his grace is so merciful. I do believe that he's placed me in a position to almost be a bridge in a way," she said.

Lainey from Alabama, a 16-year-old "American Idol" contestant, sang a song Inskeep wrote, right before her own audition.

"Music is a universal language. And to have someone singing your words the way that they want to express, it's like nothing I've ever experienced before. And it's why I do what I do," Inskeep said.

She said performing her music in front of the judges was "a really divine experience."

"I wouldn't change a thing about the audition; I'm really happy with it," Inskeep said.

Midwestern people tend to do well on the show.

"Maybe it's our charm; we have that Midwestern, happy go lucky thing going on," Inskeep said.

She said she didn't have a lot of expectations going into the show.

"It has super exceeded anything I could have imagined. So, I'm really grateful; I want to keep going, and I wanna become the best artist I can be. It's helping me with my confidence; it's helping me just become," Inskeep said.
