To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists' careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.

That's why I wrote 'Fighter'. I have that need in me to help people. I am all about the underdog.

I hate working out - I have to mentally push myself through it. I can get very whiny, saying things like, 'I can't do it!'

I'm very eclectic in what I like and what I listen to. But my favorite musical ever is "The Sound of Music." That was actually one that inspired me to sing.

I'm embracing many different things, but it's all feel-good.

I was brought up in a household of chaos and I never felt stable at home. At a really young age, I decided I was never going to feel helpless, I was never going to feel weak around a man, and I was never going to rely on anyone. Independence was a big, big thing for me.

I was known as the little girl with the big voice.
