26 year old CJaye LeRose has been the latest to launch her music career via online videos from the comfort of her own home.

The Texan singer began by posting videos of herself performing original country songs two years ago and remains independent of any record label. Since then, LeRose has accumulated over 2.5 million upload views and over 35 thousand subscribers.

Even if one day her popularity grows, CJaye says her priority will always be connecting with her fans “I didn’t have any idea that I’d become so obsessed with the connection with people, but it really gave me that fulfillment, regardless if I’d gone to Nashville or not, of connecting with others and getting my music out there and feeling like I was making some sort of difference in the world. I was making so many friends, talking to them and letting people get personal with me and tell me their problems.”

LeRose's first album 'Date With The Tub' will be released online this month. You can see her perform her song The Porch here via YouTube.
