Someone told me something that stuck with me: "You have to envision your life, and then go backwards." I've been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I'm just backtracking and trying to get back up there.

I don't like two stories. I like one story. I never grew up with stairs. I like to stick to what I know.

I am so proud and so happy to be Filipino.

I know I'm probably much too late to try and apologize for my mistakes.

I always say I wanna work with Alicia Keys. I'm in awe of her.

My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat.

To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.
