But people who do not know me are surprised to see me as a real person I guess.

I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.

It wasn't until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music

The best business decision I've made was to become a songwriter. I can't say that I have a worst, because I don't have any regrets.

Blind audition format is what make our show unique and gives it so much more integrity. After all, the show is called The Voice. It's about vocals, and you have to stand out to get the attention of these four, Grammy-winning superstars who have an amazing ear and know what they're talking about. They rely on their ear as well as the reaction of fans in the audience to figure out whether that contestant is worth pressing that red button for. It's a great concept which keeps everybody on the edge of their seat.

I moved here to California when I was 13 to pursue my acting career
