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.

Just the whole concept of burlesque, I've always been fascinated with it. I've always collected so many books about burlesque.

My first love was singing and I had no time for boys.

When my parents fought, I'd run up to my room, put on The Sound of Music, open the window and sing out. My voice was my escape. I saw it as a way out.

The blind audition process can be nerve-wracking.

Being a mom changes your life. It actually has made me become more comfortable in my own skin and my own body because it's such a growth and a learning lesson.

My fans do deserve to see me back out on the road.
