There's a reason why bullying takes such a strong form online. People don't have to push back as much as they would in real life.

I really do love bluesy-jazzy music, so I love Etta James, B.B. King and Billie Holiday. I love that they have soul in their voices - I think that's something important is having.

I've learned from personal experience that insecurity and doubting yourself can really hurt you.

I definitely get stage fright.

I love Beyonce. She's so fierce. I also love Lily Allen, and she was an influence on my music.

I really like 'This Side of Paradise' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I think it's a cool description of a character.

I have enjoyed writing songs for so long... it felt like in order to make music that I could relate to myself, I would have to be a part of the writing process.
