Nearly two years after stepping away from her family band, We The Kingdom, Franni Cash is finally sharing the heart behind her decision.

Through her latest single as a solo artist, "Koolaid," Cash opens up about the personal journey that led her to walk away from the chart-topping Christian group.

"I left my band of seven years, not because I was running from something but because I was running toward something," said Cash. "Toward using my voice to tell my story so I could connect on a deeper level."
