Brown's mother was in and out of hospitals when she was growing up, so she used music as a distraction. Her mother was diagnosed with an incurable disease called Lyme carditis. Symptoms of the disease range from fevers to fainting, to shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and chest pains. In an interview with the Daily Press, Brown's mother Misty Brown said that she is proud of her daughter's “poise, humility and gratefulness”. (Instagram/BrennleyBrown)
