I love to sing. It's the easiest thing for me to do.

I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.

I mean, I'm not unhappy, but there's still so much I want to do.

My mom took me to see Goldfinger. My mom took me to see To Sir, With Love.

But me and my sister knew all the Doris Day and Frank Sinatra songs, too.

One of the album's songs features Mary J. Blige, but I don't want to talk too much about it yet. I think you will hear the music that's been playing in my head when it comes out

If we could just see how related we all are, how we're really all in the same place.
