YouTube was a way for people to hear me and for me to say, "Hey, I can sing this song, I'm not in front of you yet because I'm too shy, but here's how I sound for now."

If I'm experiencing a different thing every day and seeing a new environment every day, it can create a different mood or different feeling.

Stay true to who you are, even though that sounds cliché. It's something that's important - doing what feels right for you.

The fact that I'm getting appreciated and praised alone is a crazy moment because I never thought it would happen.

I've now learned how to do it, I can write anywhere. I'm the type of person that will get a random idea and then I'll have to write it down and then continue on it. It can be anywhere. It doesn't have to be a set place.

As a kid I would always be in my bedroom constantly staring at the same four pink walls in it, aspiring to do all of these things. I had big dreams, and my dreams were bigger than what my life was at the time. I didn't understand why my life wasn't more interesting, but I was so oblivious to life outside of my bedroom because I was always there. I had to go about living my dreams.

The fact that people are embracing me so well as a new artist and being taken so seriously is something I'm really surprised by.
