But Stacie Orrico was my childhood hero. I was about 12 when I found her music. She is a contemporary Christian artist, and I can honestly tell you that I don't think I'd have a soulful voice if I didn't listen to Stacie. I wanted to sound just like her growing up, and to this day I STILL think I sound a little bit like her. But she is AMAZING!

Most of all I like to sing my heart out to lyrics that really speak to people.

I went to Philippines and I literally had the time of my life.

If It's your passion and you want to do it for the rest of your life, why would comments stop you from doing that?

I only wish to climb even higher during the rest of my career bc with the power of Team Grimmie, I won't stop.

I want longevity; I love music, being a musician is the greatest gift in the world to me, and if I were to get signed to a label, my family and team around me are always gonna be there to make sure they want the very best for me. My fans are what it's all about.

And hey, it's okay to laugh at yourself sometimes, I do dumb things all the time (haha). But when it get's too personal, get your tough skin on and stand firm.
