Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home.

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

I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that's a good sign.

I guess NBC must have noticed that one of my main staples is social media. So, when they approached me for The Voice, I thought "Why not be the first one to do it?"

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

My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I've been doing this for twelve years.

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.
