In an exclusive interview with MacWire, Green stated, "I've always been a singer and musician. Telling stories through song has been my passion since I can remember. When I was seven years old I played Molly in a summer-camp production of ANNIE. I remember that feeling I had after I sang 'You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile' as though it was yesterday. I dreamed of my Tony award shining 'like the top of the Chrysler Building'. After focusing on theatre throughout high school, I was accepted to the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of MusiC. Shortly after graduation, I got the call that I would be joining the Los Angeles company of WICKED covering the lead role of Glinda. I was in WICKED for almost two years. Singing that score every night and every so often getting to hold Elphaba's hand were some of my favorite moments. I was living and breathing that story of love and friendship. My life was changing!"

Green says of her debut album So Good: "This album is my heart and soul, the fulfillment of a lifetime dream. Over the past 18 months, I've collaborated with such amazing artists, musicians, engineers and producers to create a tasteful and timeless blend of pop styling rooted in musical theatre. The album uniquely navigates its way through the American Songbook essentially outlining what inspires me to sing."
