Confidence is not 'they will like me'. Confidence instead is 'I'll be fine if they don't'.

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

If you are posting your music on YouTube, maybe start with a popular cover done in a unique way.

I had the opportunity to go on 2 tours with Selena Gomez and that really boosted the exposure and experience for me. It was when I got a shot at The Voice that I really got the biggest boost and got to show what I could do!

Don't let the idiots that like to bring you down, succeed in discouraging you. I let it get to me a while ago, and let me tell you, it feels SO good to come up under it!

If you can't find what's unique, people aren't going to listen.

Youtube was the start of my career officially, although since I was 4 I've wanted to be a singer. I've performed here and there before youtube, but youtube push me much further.
