I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.

I'm not an R&B singer, I'm a singer. I can sing any music that makes me feel inspired whether it's Country, a little bit of Rock and roll but within my roots as well. I'm not going too far with it, but it'll be within my roots. I feel like trying a different way to express my music because so many people have already taken from what I've done in the past and it kind of makes me not want to ever do anything that I've done before.

It's easy to just give everything up, but it takes a lot of strength and a lot of willpower to just make yourself stay on it and get up and do something different. And I had to do that.

In my life right now, in my music, and just overall I feel like I'm winning. It doesn't matter what this person is saying or what the charts are saying or what award shows are saying, the public opinion doesn't matter. I feel like I'm winning in my spirit.

I cried, I was so overwhelmed to meet Michael Jackson.

I'm going to let people know that it's cool to have a child and be young and still be a good mom. It's really tough, but I'm doing it.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.
