Joann says she’s been turned down numerous times because of her father.
Following her statement, the interviewer asked how her relatives impacted her music career, to which she explained that it both helped and harmed her. “The experience has been, ‘You’re only getting this because of who your parents are,’ and then, ‘You’re not getting this because of who your parents are,’” she told the host.
Joann later revealed that she had lost out on opportunities simply because of her last name. “From 13 up until 24 I’ve been trying to get into the music business,” she admitted. She even recalled a time that she flew to Los Angeles and was prepared to sign the paperwork but the opportunity was seized once someone found out who she was.
When asked how many times she’d been in that predicament, Joann replied, “A good amount.”
